    Nikky's Thai Takeover Championships -Thai Inspired Brunch Recipes: Episode 2

    I recently had the honor of competing against one of my dearest friends, Sherry Anglen Blacketer, Owner of Are You Hooongry, and Dallas, Texas celebrity chef, Youtube sensation, and restauranteur, Chef Nikky Phinyawatana in a two-part series of  Nikky's Thai Takeover YouTube Championships Episode 1. 

    What Is Nikky's Thai Takeover?

    The regular format for Nikky's Thai Takeover is where Chef Nikky comes to take over your kitchen with just her sauces and wok and cook with anything she finds in your kitchen that inspires her. This time was a bit different. 

    Chef Nikky invited Sherry and me to compete in the two-part Youtube series with our Thai-Inspired Brunch recipes featuring Nikky's amazing sauces. The winner of the first round then goes head-to-head with Nikky in the second round.

    Spoiler Alert

    To find out whose Thai-inspired brunch recipe wins check out the link above or read my recent post to get the recipe and view the video HERE.

    And The Winner Is...

    I was so honored to have my recipe judged by Chef Nikky and her darling daughter Skye. I didn't think I would beat out Sherry's Thai-inspired Chicken and Waffles because they were so delicious but my Thai Crinkle Benedict with Crispy Pork Belly and Sesame Hollandaise was the winner. How cool is that?

    Great Minds Think Alike

    Going into the next round, Chef Nikky and I had no idea what the other person was making for the contest. Great minds definitely think alike as we both chose to make rice soup aka congee or Khao Tom, a favorite breakfast or brunch meal in Thailand.

    Featuring Chef Nikky's Sauces

    My Quick Congee features, Chef Nikky's Black Soy Sauce, Stir Fry, and scrumptious Crispy Thai Basil Chili. All of her sauces are delicious and filled with an authentic Thai flavor. You can order Chef Nikky's sauces online HERE. This is not a sponsored post however, Nikky provided sauces for testing and competition.
