January’s BrightRx features savory, flavorful recipes to start your new year with a kick and warm up your winter days. LA-based chef and food stylist Sandy Ho has shared with us all the components for a seasonal, dynamic meal.
"This is my take on a Vietnamese dish called Chả Cá Thăng Long, also known as Chả Cá Lã Vọng, that I loved cooking with my family in our backyard. Turmeric marinated fish, dill and peanuts are key elements and with the addition of Brightland's citrus based vinegar and a seasonal salad for crunch and brightness, it was calling for an outdoor adventure to my favorite spot in Tuna Canyon!"
