    About Mala Eats

    We are a family of three (Jie [周洁], Mark, Grace [恩荣]) that started Mala Eats because food is woven into our family story, from Jie’s childhood in Lanzhou, China, to Mark’s upbringing in the Southern U.S., to the blending of the cultures and cuisines that define our family.

    We also are on a mission to give tofu and Sichuan pepper the respect they deserve!
