Asian Mint donates portion of meal kit proceeds to child-focused nonprofit
Asian Mint owner Nikky Phinyawatana has launched a meal kit service, and part of the proceeds will go to a nonprofit organization that feeds children.
Each Chef Mint from Home meal kit comes with a recipe card and premeasured, fresh ingredients to make vegetable dumplings, pad thai, tom yum soup and jasmine rice. The three-course meal feeds four people and takes 30-45 minutes to prepare, Phinyawatana said. The kits can be delivered or picked up curbside at one on Asian Mint's locations.
