About Me:
What's up! I'm Kevin, and I'm obsessed with snacks — making them, eating them, and sharing them with the world.
I'm a first-generation Vietnamese American who grew up bouncing between my mom's traditional recipes and the American snacks my friends brought to school. That mix of cultures shaped how I think about food: bold flavors, quick execution, and always shareable.
I started posting food videos during college because I was tired of seeing the same boring snack ideas everywhere. Where were the 5-minute nachos with a sriracha twist? The peanut butter bites with a hint of sesame? The cucumber sandwiches that actually had personality? I decided to create them myself.
My approach to recipes is simple: if it takes longer to make than to eat, it's not a snack. Everything I create for 5 Mins Recipes is designed to be ready fast, taste amazing, and look good enough for your Instagram story.
When I'm not in the kitchen, I'm probably gaming, hitting the gym, or exploring LA's food scene for my next inspiration. I believe snacking should be fun, not guilty — and definitely not time-consuming.
My motto: Life's too short for boring snacks.
Let's make something awesome — in five minutes or less!
