5 Minute Food Fix

Yumi is excited about the events she's going to be part of that includes a one-on-one chat with Adelaide food legend and the woman behind 'Pawana' restaurant, Durkhanai Ayubi.

Yumi and Jen laugh uncontrollably as they try to convince each other of the veracity of adding various foods to a pot pie.

Lasagna?

Possibly.

In a pot pie?

Let's discuss.

VIRAL Congee Pot Pie

One of Yumi's friends went away with a group of friends for the weekend and what transpired in the kitchen and food planning has been cause for a pause for thought (and significant irritation). 

What happens in your group of friends?

The Kitchen Gender Divide

Yumi and Jen are EXHAUSTED. Yumi is recording in her pyjamas (but only if you can see from the waist down), and decides to go rogue on today's episode.

Inspired by Tik Tok and Instagram account I Am Unique Daily, and wondering out loud whether Resting Bitch Face is a superpower or just ...unfortunate?

For events where you can see Jen live in person, go here.

Resting Bitch Face

Fresh off their success at the Sydney Writers Festival, Yumi and Jen get the lols remembering the utter nonsense that was My Day on a Plate. There's a similar column which Jen recommends called The Grub Street Diet, and Yumi likes a hilarious podcast that debunks bad diet advice.

If you want to see Jen live and doing what she does best? She'll be at VIVID SYDNEY in a couple of week.

My Day on a Plate...

Yumi Stynes and Jennifer Wong make each other laugh and Yumi recounts a story of going grocery shopping with Jen and being feeling like she was with a mega-celebrity.

The end of (school) ethnic food shame

In today's episode, Yumi and Jen dig deep into where San Choi Bao gets it SO RIGHT as a weeknight dinner that everyone can make out of whatever they have in the fridge.

Jen also has an amazing revelation to share about just why RESTAURANT san choi bao is so delicious and crunchy - and it's a hack you can easily replicate at home.

AND - if you want to see Jen live?

Check out this link for dates - especially check out a free show all about food here on May 23, her show as part of VIVID SYDNEY on June 5, 2026, and Yumi and Jennifer will be onstage together for Sydney Writers Festival's GREAT DEBATE.

What is "China Maxxing"?

Yumi and guest-host Jennifer Wong share their anxieties about what useful skills they'd have in a post-apocalyptic wasteland... 

...And Yumi comes through with a really good Yoghurt Flatbread - which is good for right now - tonight even? But may also come in handy if we run out of bread but can still use a frypan.

A very good recipe here, and here, and this is the one Yumi uses which is 3/4 cup Greek yoghurt + 1 cup SR flour.
