Scottish Rite Fundraiser filled with food, music and dancing

We have Chef Nikki Pinyawantana from Asian Mint here in the Good Day Kitchen because we are talking about a huge event for Scottish Rite for Children. This is their major fundraiser of the year. They brought in millions of dollars. It's called Treasure Street, and boy, it's a treasure. It is so much fun to go to. You're going to be going there tomorrow night. Yes, I'm so excited to be a part of this. It is one of the things that we give to give back as restaurants and chefs all around Dallas so that Scottish Rite can continue their mission to give children back their childhood. And it just gives me chills just seeing that. And it's not just your main event. You've raised $16 million over the years. I wish I did that all, but no, they did. It has to make you feel so good, though, to know that that much money goes to such a good cause. It does. It does, yes. Yeah, you are making what for us this morning? Is this something you're going to be serving out there? Yes, we will be serving our Thai chicken salad. Oh, which is one of my favorites. That you love. What are we going to do to make this? Again, also very super simple, and it's all about the herbs and the spices and all the flavors. So we're going to start off with some chicken that has been cooked, very cooked through. You can actually use minced chicken, beef, pork, shrimp, whatever floats your boat, right? All the things. Just finely chopped. Finely chopped, cooked all the way because nobody wants to eat raw chicken. Nobody likes the raw chicken. Nobody does. Yes. But what we're going to do is add this beautiful flavor, which is a combination of the four S's. Sweet, sour, spicy, salty. Okay. We have fish sauce, a little bit of palm sugar. I smell it. Isn't it so amazing? Yeah, it does. Fresh lime juice. We got fresh lime juice. That is like the key. I love a lot of like sour in my food. Some Thai chili. How spicy do you like your food? I like that. Okay. And here we go. All right, that looks good. And then all the beautiful herbs, right? We have the scallions, we have some mint, cilantro. Last but not least here, we have some beautiful purple onions. Or if you have, what do you call, shallots, those will work as well. Okay. That looks great. Does it? And it's so easy. Yeah. So the key is this powdered toasted rice. This is a natural binder in Thai cuisine that just binds all that sauce into the chicken itself. As you can see, it's picking up all the good. Toasted rice, wow. Yes, and you can make that with jasmine rice, sticky rice, just in like a hot pan, toast it till it's nice and brown, and then throw it in a coffee grinder. And you're gonna throw that in some lettuce wraps. I am. Now you're gonna be serving this up at Treasure Street. There's music, there's food. Not only are you gonna be there, but lots of other chefs as well. I know from Nick and Sam's, Bierings, Trulux, Cognarosa, LaDuni, so many coming out to support the work that is done daily at Scottish Rite for Children. That looks simply delicious. There are tickets still available. They're also gonna have them available at the door as well. This is just one event that is done up right year after year, so. You ready? Delicious. You wanna try some? I would like to try some. Okay, I got spoons for both of you. Okay. Here, let me get it so you both can reach it. Oh, there we go. A good spoonful there. She always nails it. Oh, that chili powder. You asked for it. Oh, that's good. Oh, that's very good. We've got a link with all the details on our website, Treasure Street, fox4news.com. We'll be right back.
