Chef Nick Liu

It’s #nationaltakeoutday You all have been so supportive of me and @dailoto over the past year - thank you! If you’re ordering out tonight and this weekend, be sure to support your local restaurants and drop by to say hello if you’re in the neighbourhood. ... We have a takeout tasting menu, pop-up vegan menu at 1993 Young St., an à la cart take-out menu and of course, customized cocktail kits. Visit exploretock.com/dailo for the full menu. See you soon!

Shout out to MarQuee Magazine for featuring me in their latest issue. Not only did we include the recipe for my Spicy Hand Pulled Lamb Noodles, this issue itself talks about mental health, a cause that’s very important to me and the restaurant industry overall. There are some great articles in the Spring\Summer issue, so be sure you grab a copy, on stands nationwide mid-May. #sickasianfood #ninjachef ... Photos by: Joey Salmingo

If you’ve followed my journey, you know I like to change things up. It’s what I do! This time, I took the potsticker recipe I would usually make and instead, used #PCPlantBased Sweet Italian Sausage for a plant based twist. #sponsored A lot of us are trying plant based and flexitarian foods these days and really, I don’t feel like these potstickers are missing out on anything! This plant based protein still packs a lot of flavour like fennel, paprika and garlic. Check out the... link in my bio for the full recipe. @preschoice . . . . . . #pcplantbased #sponsored @preschoice #sickasianfood #ninjachef #vegan #potstickers See more

We’ve been eating at home a lot over the past year. Cooking at home is where I feel the most inspired to create new dishes, and, over the past few weeks, I’ve been able to shake up my meals by incorporating more plant based foods into what I cook. #sponsored I recently tried out the new plant based products from @preschoice and it’s amazing how versatile their... options are. They feature delicious flavours and can easily be added to so many different recipes. These Fresh Summer Rolls with Vegan Sausage were made with #PCPlantBased Sweet Italian Sausage. They’re definitely something I’ll be making again! . . . . . @preschoice #pcplantbased #sponsored #vegan #plantbased #sickasianfood #ninjachef #asiancuisine See more

Tomorrow morning! Catch me on Breakfast Television preparing these all-vegan potstickers, using the PC Plant-Based Sweet Italian Sausage. You all know I’ve been cooking more vegan dishes at home and at DaiLo and these are so good - tune in at 9:40 am tomorrow to watch me live with Dina and Sid. #sickasianfood . . . .... . #pcplantbased #sponsored #sickasianfood #takeoutday #nationaltakeoutday #yyzrestaurants #spicylambnoodles #vegannoodles #restaurantsoftoronto #tofoodies #noodlelover #torontofoodie #foodie #yyz #torontolife #torontofood #asianfood See more

This week at DaiLo, we’re bringing you a takeout tasting menu like no other. We’ve teamed up with a company called SuperVega to create a meat-free menu for Lunar New Year. I am so excited to bring this project to you! We’ve been playing around with different dishes using SuperVega and I’m truly happy with each item on the menu. The Dan Dan Noodles may be my favourite but with items like the Betel Leaf Sausage with herbs and Burmese Tofu, it’s too hard to tell. Check out the full menu at exploretock.com/dailo.

Thank you @postcityto for this feature on @dailoto #DaiLoPopUp @hotblack_coffee @jimsonbbb! DaiLo Noodles is open from Thursday to Friday 5:30-9:30pm. Come check us out at Hot Black Coffee Yonge and Davisville or order on @ubereats or @doordash. @erica_comm thanks for your support! #community #local #support #food #restaurant #toronto #dailo #foodie #letskillthispandemictogether #popup #noodles #restaurantcommunity #asianfood #newasiancuisine #sickasianfood #staysafe

ICYMI I recently hosted a cooking class in partnership with Field Roast and ChefsFeed I made Lotus Wrapped Sticky Rice using Field Roast Plant-Based Smoked Apple Sage Sausage and it was so good we sat down for dinner right after the class!

@DaiLoTO turned SIX today. I’m really grateful that I can celebrate the six year anniversary of my restaurant, IN my restaurant today, doing what I love, WITH the people that I love, FOR the people that I love. Yes, that’s YOU! All of you. I don’t have to say this is a new world we live in today because that’s a given. But I will say that EVEN in this new world that we are now getting used to, where the very industry in which I, and many others like me LOVE doing for you is... struggling, I’m grateful that today I can celebrate the way that I am. To be celebrating an anniversary during these times are so humbling and I have so much gratitude for every one of you that has supported us, from the very first day we opened, from the very first cardboard tray from my pop-ups, from even before the thought of the first dumpling was conceived. Thank you to each and every one of my family, friends, old and new, patrons, loyal and new, my partners, my right hand @DennisJTay, my ops team @Trevor.M.Chen @AntonPotvin and my employees whom I regard as family. Thank you. For six wonderful years of #SickAsianFood and here’s to so many more. Thank you. @ DaiLo See more

TOMORROW! Join me at 5:30pm EST on @CHEFSFEED as I teach you how to make a beautiful, plant-based dish using lotus leaves, mung beans and shiitake mushrooms, featuring @fieldroast Smoked Apple Sage Sausages. It's the perfect creation for aspiring at-home chefs and for those looking to try some new things in the kitchen. Big thanks to @fieldroast, who is donating a total of $250k to support independent restaurants, chefs and staff during these very unprecedented times.... Their contributions will be used to support our hardworking and dedicated staff and to help input certain material and supplies for reopening to the public for dining indoors.
