Sprouted Brown Rice Bowl With Carrot and Hijiki
Sprouting any grain increases its nutritional value by making its nutrients more bio-available, among them calcium. But it’s the flavor and texture of this new sprout that have gotten me hooked. If you’ve been hard pressed to get your family to embrace brown rice, this may be the way to go. Julienne carrots with hijiki seaweed is a traditional Japanese combination. Here I’ve added some tofu to bulk up the protein. Hijiki is an excellent source of iodine, vitamin K, folate and magnesium; the seaweed is soaked and simmered before cooking with the carrot and aromatics.

Sesame Braised Chicken With Scallions, Daikon and Mushrooms
On a search for a nontraditional take on chicken in a pot in 2012, Melissa Clark was hoping for something that avoided the flavors and “seasonings inherent in Continental cuisine” — white wine, leeks, bacon. She found an answer in this recipe, which relies on dry sherry, soy sauce and star-anise-infused sesame oil as its braising liquid. Daikon and shiitake mushrooms soak up the liquid and soften under its weight. Be sure to brown the bird, too. It won't crisp the skin, but it does add depth of flavor.

Chicken in a Watermelon
“Consider the madness of roasting a hen inside a hollowed-out watermelon with soy sauce and a lemon,” Rozanne Gold wrote in 1994, when she brought this recipe to The Times, part of a roundup of April Fools’ Day recipes. It’s an unconventional recipe, with roots in Hawaii and meant to surprise. (Step 5 encourages cooks to show the full chicken and watermelon to guests before carving.) Do, as one commenter suggests, and have someone on hand to record the reactions. And what to do with the leftover watermelon pulp? Take Gold’s advice. “With some sugar, champagne and a little imagination, it makes a decent sorbet.”
Sesame Noodles With Shrimp and Corn
Stewed Spicy Chicken With Lemongrass And Lime
This wildly flavorful chicken dish is inspired by the bright flavors found in Thai cooking – garlic, galangal (or ginger), chiles, turmeric, cilantro and lemongrass. While its flavor profile is complex, it is blessedly easy to make. Just sauté the savories, herbs and spices and add the chicken to the pan. Allow it to cook, covered, for about 20 to 30 minutes. Remove the lid, let the chicken brown a bit, and that's it. Serve over rice so you don't miss out on a single drop of the exquisite sauce.

For a leaner alternative, green leaf lettuce can be used instead of egg roll wrappers. If using lettuce, follow all instructions except for frying. Chill briefly before serving.
