@theasiantestkitchen: One childhood memory that brings a smile to my face is my dad making sardines in tomato sauce. Despite its simplicity, this meal created lasting memories and taught me that the best meals don’t have to be extravagant. It was about the love and effort put into the preparation, the shared moments of togetherness, and the joy of appreciating the simple pleasures in life. Those sardines will forever remind me that the most meaningful meals are often found in the simplest of recipes. If you don’t live near an Asian grocery store or pho place, you can get very similar baguettes at a Mexican grocery store!! If you’ve only tried this dish with rice, I highly encourage you to try it with banh mi!! Tag someone who would enjoy this dish! #vietnamese #sardines #tinnedfish #strugglemeals #cannedfood #easymeals
