Fridge Voyeur is a virtual visit into the chill zone of the Spoon Crew — our team, our friends, and some of your favorite wellness gurus. We may eat a lot of plants, but you better believe there’s a whole lot of variety, and a little bit of naughty, going on behind closed doors. We know you want a peek!

This week, we’re peeking into the fridge of musician and member of the Spoon Crew, Joanna Lee.

Splendid Spoon: Hey Joanna! Tell us a little bit about yourself.
Joanna: Hey, Splendid Spoon! My life involves running around, doing lots of different things. I’m a songwriter and artist based in Boston. I’m constantly on-the-go. I spend much of my time trying to balance work, rehearsals, and performances, while also keeping up with my social life, fitness, and nutrition regime.

It’s a challenge, to say the least, but I’m super grateful to be doing all of these wonderful things.

SS: What are the 5 staples you can’t live without?
JL: My 5 staples change quite regularly! Currently, there are two fluids: water and coffee, and the other three are oranges, rice, and beans.

SS: What’s the weirdest thing in your fridge?
JL: Vegetarian Oyster Sauce. It’s so good. I use it to marinate all my cruciferous veggies!

SS: What’s your fave sweet and what’s your fave savory?
JL: My favorite savory is definitely lightly salted, roasted pistachios. My fave sweet has to be Red Bean buns. [Want to try these sweet adzuki bean buns for yourself? Here’s a recipe! — Ed.] My mom knows that I’ve loved them since I was little. However, eating too many can seriously make you sick! Once I made the decision to eat and live more healthfully, my mom came up with a guilt-free recipe that I can enjoy! [We want in on this secret recipe! — Ed.] Thanks, Mama!

SS: If you were one thing in your fridge, what would it be?
JL: Tangerines, definitely.

SS: What food do you turn to when you want something comforting or nostalgic? Although we eat to keep our bodies strong and healthy, food also connects us to our past, to friends, and to different times in our lives.
JL: I always turn to Korean food because that’s what I ate growing up. Steamed rice, kimchi, potatoes, roasted seaweed, stew, and grilled fish are some of my heart-warming favorites.
