Sandita’s Pork & Kimchi Dumpling Kit (Large Omnivore Only) What started out as a backyard dinner series founded by Sandy Ho became a delicious way to share food and story by way of dumplings. Sandita’s donates a portion of their proceeds to the Center for the Pacific Asian Family – an organization that builds healthy and safe spaces within the Asian and Pacific Islander communities against domestic violence and sexual assault. They are committed to providing resources and services that meet specific cultural and language needs to support women and families in API communities. (Sandita’s Vegetarian Dumpling Kits are available HERE.)
Woon Kitchen’s Chewy Noodles – Woon began as a family run pop-up born from a desire to share their mother’s (Mama Fong) original Chinese comfort food. They offer a simple menu influenced by Shanghainese and Cantonese recipes. Their first brick and mortar space is located in Historic Filipinotown. Read the recent article “Woon’s Mother-Son Team on Facing Cancer, COVID-19, and Asian Hate” about Julie and Keenan Fong HERE.
Sonoko’s Curry Powder + Note from Sonoko “I couldn’t find anything in the market that was simple, healthy, and environmentally conscious, so I started working on my own curry spice blend. The earliest version of this curry powder appeared in my cookbook, Japanese Home Cooking. Since then it’s been put to the test over and over again, then carefully adjusted in the search for a perfect balance of warmth, earthiness, umami, heat, and sweetness…May it fill your kitchens with the nostalgic, mouth-watering aroma it fills mine with.” (While Sonoko’s curry powder is included in our Narrative Provisions boxes, you can make your own curry brick with her kit found HERE.)

In Our Community
Three dollars from every Narrative Provisions box will be donated to API Forward Movement – an organization that ensures APIs are served and represented in efforts to address a range of community health and environmental justice issues. We learned about them from our friend Jess Wang (she curated this year’s Lunar New Year Narrative Provisions boxes) who is supporting them with her upcoming Community Cultures: Citrus Surplus Situation workshop on May 22nd.
We encourage you to learn more about Forward API and CPAF’s mission and ways to support their incredible organizations! If you have the means to do so please consider donating directly to them.
