Stir Fry Stories is my friendly, neighborhood story eatery for anyone who is hungry.

My stories are meant for everyday urbanites who are just as moved by Marvel movies as museum galleries.

With irreverence and adoration, I make old Asian practices appetizing - akin to eating that comfort dish made by an auntie or three-star, hole-in-the-wall restaurant. Welcome!

Thai Home Cooking Classes

Join us for dinner and experience the vibrance and richness of Thai cuisine with local cookbook author VC Tang who has facilitated Thai cultural events for over 20 years. The course includes favorites such as Pad Thai and Tom Yum – and introduces students to lesser-known dishes that are nostalgic staples in the Thai home not commonly served in restaurants. We will cover shopping for hard-to-find ingredients along the Peninsula, recommended kitchen tools, and flavoring techniques. Registration opens Aug 6th. Space is limited.

Holidays in Thailand

Experience nine days in Thailand through the stories of two traditional performers in partnership with Trikaya Tours - with cameos from our elders. While sharing a Western context and upbringing, they offer travelers an intimate look into the lessons drawn from decades of community, traditions, and lessons.

“Tang is the perfect example of how one’s passion for cultural arts, history and traditions can become a career.

In times of conflict, divisiveness or trauma, providing people and communities with sources of commonality and self-discovery fosters a more empathetic and judgment-free society.”
