Cannabis Infused Liangfen 凉粉: An Omsom Collab
I am stoked to kick off 4/20 and my first Instagram Reels with Kim and Vanessa of Omsom. The two sisters started the company to bring proud and loud Asian flavors to your kitchen pantry. No more diluted dishes, no more cultural compromise. Real deal Asian cuisine and communities are too damn delicious to deny. That’s the energy we need in 2021.
Today I’m sharing a 4/20 friendly Liangfen made with the Omsom Mala Salad starter. This sauce is made in collaboration with Amelie Kang, owner of MáLà Project, and it’s got the spicy and numbing Sichuan kick from the chilies and peppercorns. You have the perfect summer dish when you mix with a touch of Sous Weed sesame oil and drizzle over jiggly mung bean jelly noodles.

Cannabis Infused Liangfen (凉粉) with Omsom Mala Salad
Serves 4
Ingredients:
• ½ cup mung bean starch
• 3½ cups water, divided
• 1 Omsom Mala Salad packet
• 1 tsp Sous Weed sesame oil
• 2 Tbsp soy sauce
• 1 Tbsp cilantro, chopped
• 1 Tbsp scallions, chopped
• 1 tsp sesame seeds
• 1 Tbsp toasted peanuts, crushed
Directions:
Add mung bean starch into a bowl with 1/2 cup of water and mix until the starch is dissolved. Set aside.
Bring 3 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan then turn the heat to low. Pour in mung bean mixture while stirring rapidly with a spatula. Remove from heat once the mixture is thick and translucent. Pour into a glass container and allow to cool into a solid jelly, about 2 hours in room temperature.
In a small bowl, combine Omsom Mala Salad, your preferred dose of Sous Weed sesame oil, soy sauce, cilantro, and scallions.
Slice into thick noodles and assemble on a platter. Pour sauce on top and garnish with sesame seeds and crushed peanuts.
*Note: The amount of cannabis oil specified in this recipe is a very loose suggestion; the actual amount you use should be modified based on the strength of your oil and the potency you desire. Dosing homemade edibles can be tricky, so the best way to test for potency is to start with one portion of a serving, in this case, one teaspoon, and wait one to two hours, then make an informed decision on whether to consume more. Always dose carefully and listen to your body, and never drive under the influence of cannabis.
