Miso Chicken

Making a compound of unsalted butter and the salty, fungal deliciousness of Japanese miso paste is a surefire way of adding immense flavor to a simple weeknight meal. Here the mixture is spread over chicken thighs, which are then roasted to golden perfection. But you could easily use it on salmon or flounder, on corn or potatoes. The recipe calls for white miso, which is more mild than the aged version known as red miso. But you could certainly use red for a more intense result.

Savoury Asian Oatmeal with Soy Vinaigrette

What I miss about winter are the cozy nights and warm, hearty meals -dad’s fried tofu and pork cracklings served with soy vinaigrette and mum’s huge batch of lugaw, a Filipino rice porridge, which I admit going seconds for and okay, maybe even thirds at ungodly hours. I love it so much that not even the wall-penetrating summer heat can stop me from satisfying my craving for Filipino comfort food! This led me to this humble oatmeal bowl, and in doing so also lessened the amount of work, ingredients and time without sacrificing the flavours reminiscent of the tangy soy vinaigrette and savoury lugaw. Oh, and if you’re worried about missing the crunchiness of fried tofu and pork cracklings, you can simply add fried garlic like I did!

Vietnamese Lamb

Though far less glorified than rib chops or legs, lamb shoulder is explosively delicious and juicy – also, cheap. Like the shoulders of pigs and cows, it is a hardworking muscle rippled with intramuscular fat, which makes it ideal for stewing or braising. But the shoulder’s not that hardworking, which keeps it tender enough to be subjected to the shorter blasts of heat typically reserved for more elegant cuts. Here it's marinated in a Vietnamese marinade overnight, then broiled or grilled into fantastic submission.

Miso-Glazed Grilled Scallops

This simple and sophisticated treatment is perfect for grilled scallops, but also works well on chicken or pork. One note on preparation: Err on the side of undercooking. Take the scallops off the grill before they’re opaque all the way through. If you undercook a scallop, it will still be delicious, but if you overcook it, it will get rubbery.

Seaweed Salad With Scallops

Sweet and briny scallops need little more than a splash of oil and a pinch of seasoning to be delicious. Because they’re often enjoyed raw, it’s important to purchase fresh, high-quality bivalves. Many store-bought scallops are soaked in a phosphate solution that plumps them up with water (therefore bumping up the price), so it’s important to look for scallops that are labeled “dry” or “dry-packed.” A waterlogged scallop doesn’t sear well, and a phosphate-marinated scallop may taste like soap, especially when consumed raw as they are here. In this 10-minute recipe, the scallop takes center-stage while seaweed and cucumber provide texture, and soy sauce and sesame oil add depth.
