A Recipe from Our Farmer, and Former Chef, Hrang
When Hrang migrated to the United States, he was hired at a hibachi restaurant. There, he trained as a hibachi chef and spent nearly 20 years behind the grill. In 2022, Hrang made the transition from chef to farmer. Despite the high demand of life on the farm, he still finds time to make memories in the kitchen.
“I like to cook for my friends. They bring steak, I bring my grill and eggs – and I use those eggs to make fried rice.”
