You know a meal is special when you eat it two days in a row. While my work sometimes caters Asian Box and serves it in mass, I actually went to Asian Box two days this week because I wanted to have the real thing and of course my very own personalized box. Asian food to me has always been comfort food. For some people it’s mac and cheese and for many of my friends in my circle, it’s a burrito, but for me? Rice. How very Asian of me. 

One man described it to another person behind me in line the other day as the Asian Chipotle. First, you choose your grain (rice or noodles) then your meat, your toppings, and your sauce. There are so many great options and you really can’t go wrong, but in case you’re interested in what I order… I’ll let you in on my favorite:

• Long grain Jasmine rice
• Lemongrass marinated pork
• Steamed vegetables
• Crispy Shallots
• Scallion Oil
• Fresh Herbs
• Pickled Vegetables
• Fresh Lime Squeeze
• Caramel Egg
• Tamarind Vinaigrette 

Yum.
