Joanne Lee was born on April 24, 1979, in Chicago, Illinois. I always say, "If I die, I will add on my tombstone and I'll have fries with that. Those include her challenges with body image that started when she was a kid. And then, we go to LA, and who knows where the wind will take me after that. She began her food-based TikTok account in July 2020. She began posting content related to politics and life as a lawyer during quarantine. I mean, I think in retrospect, I probably had to go through what I did in order to be the person that I am today. Every single Friday, that's what you eat at the restaurant. "So, when I hear that, and when I see that in my DMs or in my comments, the cost that I incur emotionally, a lot of that is kind of healed when I hear those things.Kerry Diamond:You also started doing TikTok at a time when things are becoming increasingly difficult for the AAPI community. It's more shocking and very gruesome.Kerry Diamond:Okay.Joanne Molinaro:So, it doesn't hold any punches when it comes to the gross factor. I mean, we did, oh, my gosh, we visited over a dozen cities when we did our cookbook and like you said, that was such a special part of putting a cookbook into the world, getting to meet everybody and nerd out on recipes and ingredients and everything.Joanne Molinaro:Totally, yeah. And so, he's out of the house a lot more. I think I have been that person since I was a little girl. I was always the one who got in the middle of a fight. Far from weakening her connection to Korean food and culture, veganism, she says, has brought her Koreanness into focus. Her parents were born in present-day North Korea, and escaped when they were young. What I wanted to do was to open a tiny little window into this world that I had grown up in. She hoped to use that window to reach through and demolish gently, without judgment preconceived notions about Asian Americans and immigrants. But, it's also about purity. I love that you called yourself a potato girl.Joanne Molinaro:Oh, totally.Kerry Diamond:Why are you a potato girl, Joanne?Joanne Molinaro:Growing up, I'd always be, I'm looking, "You add potato to that?" Calorie counting, feeling anxious when she isnt hungry, these are the things that I think Im going to have to deal with for the rest of my life. But, she says, her relationship with food is as healthy and stable as its ever been, in large part because she now eats with more purpose to do her part to help the planet and the environment and reduce the killing of animals. In her first foray, she made japchae glass noodles while recounting an incident when a woman at a store called her fat and her mom swooped in. I'm a fan of both the regular potato and the sweet potato. So I exited that, and I think that whole process taught me a lot about fighting for things. And so, it's only been like a year. THE KOREAN VEGAN Kollective IS HERE! What was that like to put yourself out there in a visual sense?Joanne Molinaro:That's a really good question.

When I graduated college, my girlfriend's actually bought me a Ttukbaegi, which is the traditional earthenware pot that you cook all the chickens in, because they're like, "You're this Sundubu girl. We haven't landed yet on our next streaming indulgence.Kerry Diamond:What is a dream travel destination?Joanne Molinaro:Dream travel destination is probably Vienna. Nobody else adds potatoes to their Sundubu jjigae. She went to law school at the University of Chicago, then started working in the Chicago office of an international law firm. And I know that because it was my first book, whether it's a cookbook or any other kind of book, because it was my first book, I really did think a lot about what are my favorite books growing up? So, I throw in, sometimes, a whole potato diced up, and then you add a little bit of soy sauce for that mami, and sort of that saltiness. So, that's probably more of an accurate description. Make the sauce: In a food processor, combine the Korean pear, onion, scallions, garlic, ginger, gochugaru, gochujang, brown rice syrup, sesame oil, vinegar, soy sauce, salt, and pepper and process until very smooth. In July 2020, Molinaro started her TikTok account and gained 2.3 million TikTok followers in the last year, "veganizing" traditional Korean recipes and other vegan dishes. Known for her blog and TikTok- The Korean Vegan, Joanne has proven that there is room in life for work, joy, love, and laughter. Still, as a fairly recent vegan who gets the appeal of animal products for others, Molinaro presents a more understanding face of veganism than the general public might be used to. Ive run 5 marathons in total with a PR of 4:15. Stay tuned for a word from Kerrygold and we'll be right back with Joanne Molinaro.Kerrygold Ad Read:Kerrygold is delicious.

"I'm sorry, I wasn't able to fit that into a 60-second video," she added. . You can add some jalapeno peppers for extra heat, and salinity. And it was spicy, but in a really good way.And so, that's why I called it Angry Penne Pasta, is just like a loose homage to that Arrabbiata. You're blowing up, congratulations.Joanne Molinaro:Thank you so much. "So, and that was when I was young, long before I was lawyer. That means he has life path number 9. And if you can't find a therapist, having a friend that can just be a sounding board or even just listen to you rant and vent about it, can also be really, really helpful. Pennsylvania had the highest population of Molinaro families in 1920. That's so nice. So, I'll leave it at that.Kerry Diamond:That's so polite, the way you put that, Joanne.Joanne Molinaro:Yes. But Id never fought for myself., 3-ingredient blueberry muffins from TikToks favorite grandma are a true delight. Having been stuck inside the house with him concert pianist, it sounds good on paper. Chicago, Illinois, United States. That comes through loud and clear in the book.

When you lay out the facts about Joanne Lee Molinaro, also known as the Korean Vegan, she starts to sound a bit like the meme version of Chuck Norris: Joanne Lee Molinaro is a cookbook author, food blogger and partner at a major law firm; Joanne Lee Molinaro became a TikTok star in her free time; Joanne Lee Molinaro runs long distances for fun. I add potatoes because I'm a potato girl and I love potatoes.But, also, one thing I learned about broth is potatoes add a great deal of earthiness and body to a broth. I wasn't prepared. And now, we all know how fraud all social media is, for so many different reasons, including theJoanne Molinaro:Yeah, I know.Kerry Diamond: Facebook, Instagram, Whatsapp shut down, but just shows how reliant we all are.Joanne Molinaro:Yeah.Kerry Diamond:For those of us who make our careers from social media, that was definitely scary.Joanne Molinaro:It was such a strange moment, because we had so many things going on on that Monday. Published September 28, 2020 6:00PM (EDT) Joanne Molinaro, known as The Korean Vegan, had an unexpected inspiration for sharing her plant-based adaptations of traditional Korean recipes. I got the same sense while talking to her on Zoom: She has something that most people dont a spellbinding combination of warmth, vulnerability and Type A intensity. Use census records and voter lists to see where families with the Molinaro surname lived. The Molinaro family name was found in the USA in 1920. Im very goal-oriented, she says when asked about her intimidating hobby over Zoom. Thank you to Joseph Hazen, studio engineer for Newsstand Studios, and to our assistant producer, Jenna Sadhu.

Last week, Joanne Lee Molinaro, a firm Partner in our Chicago Office, got things cooking nationwide with a virtual cooking demonstration. Yeah, it's Pecan Paht Pie, which is a plan where it's like, chicken pot pie, but it's actually not pot like P-O-T, it's P-A-H-T, which refers to the red bean paste, which is very popular in Korean desserts, like Korean rice cakes, being sew like the shaved ice and things like that.And that's what I use as part of my filling. And then, you add your broth, I have a homemade vegetable broth in the cookbook as well.And then, you add your silken tofu and make sure to include the brine of the tofu because that also adds to the flavor of your broth, and add your scallions on top. I'm a fan, Joanne.Joanne Molinaro:Oh, that's so sweet. Molinaros husband, Anthony, plays a prominent role in the arc of her story and her social media posts. We cover her path to veganism (a journey that ironically began with her husband reading Finding Ultra), her experience as a Korean woman living in the diaspora, the many ways in which food and social justice advocacy intersect, and the importance of humanizing the immigrant story. Oh, my gosh, I love those.Kerry Diamond:Mm-hmm. She's the writer. But, again, it's my version because instead of using the traditional Italian ingredients, I've incorporated gochujang and gochugaru to the traditional Korean ingredients for adding heat.Kerry Diamond:Oh, my gosh, I have to try that recipe.
