The judges and attendees cast their votes, and The Chinese Mom Kitchen’s handcrafted sourdough crackers rose to the top:
- Sourdough Chili Crisp Crackers – A bold and addictive snack layered with heat and umami from small-batch chili crisp, baked into tangy sourdough for a perfect balance of flavor and crunch.
- Sourdough Scallion Crackers – A savory nod to the Chinese scallion pancake, these crackers highlight the bright, aromatic bite of scallions with the depth of naturally fermented sourdough.
Both products reflect founder Laura Yee’s mission to blend traditional Chinese flavors with artisan sourdough techniques, creating snacks that are as rooted in culture as they are in craftsmanship.
