Sautéed Baby Bok Choy
A perfect side dish for chicken adobo, the national dish of the Philippines, or any other meat dish.
Broccoli Stir-Fry With Chicken and Mushrooms
Taste of the Orient Burger
I like beef stir frys with water chestnuts, so I decided to make a burger out of it.
Stir-Fried Winter Squash and Tofu With Soba
Winter squash is a nutrient-dense vegetable, with lots of vitamin A in the form of beta carotene (the more orange the flesh, generally the more vitamin A in the squash), vitamin C, potassium and dietary fiber. Winter squash goes well with ginger, and this stir-fry makes a delicious vegetarian main course. Use a sweet, dense squash like butternut for this dish.
Crisp Nori Chips With Toasted Sesame Oil
Chinese Fried Rice With Shrimp and Peas
This is a more subdued version of fried rice than the spicier Thai fried rice. It’s a great dish to make if you have cooked rice on hand and a great vehicle for whatever vegetables may be in your refrigerator. Feel free to add other cooked vegetables, meat or seafood.
Southeast Asian Mussel Salad
Wheat Berries With Sesame, Soy Sauce and Scallions
Wheat berries do take a while to cook, maybe half an hour, maybe 45 minutes, sometimes even longer, but you can cook a lot of it and keep it in the refrigerator and heat up a little bit at a time as you need it. Once the wheat berries are cooked, top with sesame oil, scallions and soy sauce. Try it for breakfast when cold cereal and toast aren’t warming your heart.
Malaysian Stir-Fried Noodles With Shrimp
These spicy noodles are based on a classic Malaysian noodle dish, Mee Goreng, but I’ve reduced the number of ingredients. With origins in North India, the dish lends itself well to the Indian Papadini bean flour noodles, which have more protein, ounce for ounce, than steak. If you can’t find this type of noodle, use wide dried rice noodles: soak them for 20 minutes in warm water, then cook 1 minute in boiling water, drain and toss with 1 tablespoon oil as directed.
Tteokmanduguk (Rice Cake Soup With Dumplings)
Korean New Year, Solnal, is greeted with steaming bowls of rice cake soup called tteokguk - "comfort food," said Moon Sun Kwak, who serves it at Dok Suni and Do Hwa, her family's restaurants in Manhattan. Her mother, Myung Ja Kwak, who is the chef, slowly simmers beef bones into a marrow-rich broth as the base for the soup. "It's so healthy," the elder Ms. Kwak said as she dropped homemade dumplings into the soup in Do Hwa's kitchen. Not all versions of the soup have dumplings; it's the tteok, or rice cakes, that matter. "You eat it so you can turn a year older."
Fatty Crab's Chili Crab
Matt Lee and Ted Lee snatched this recipe for chili crab from chef Zakary Pelaccio before the first Fatty Crab opened in New York. There are now locations in St. John and Hong Kong. With the restaurant, Pelaccio pays homage to a crab joint he frequented during a seven-month cooking stint in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia. This recipe calls for blue crabs and spices them up with chili sauce, garlic and ginger among much else. Serve with crab picks, cold beer and many napkins.
Chocolate Ginger Bark With Green Tea Powder
Coconut and Tapioca Soup
Pork and Mushroom Stir-Fry
I have always had an aversion to the stir-fry. For me it has seemed a technique that sounds easier than it is. Everyone is always impressed that a stir-fried dish takes so little time to cook, but I saw endless chopping followed by frenzied last-minute activity at the stove that I felt unsuited for. I am a clumsy person, and there simply isn't a wok large enough for me to do a stir-fry and not end up with half the ingredients over all the burners. The recipe that won me over was this pork and mushroom dish. Marinating the pork keeps it wonderfully tender and makes the dish deeply flavorsome. And slicing mushrooms is never an effortful activity. Many Chinese cooks add a cornstarch paste at the end of cooking to create a binding sauce, but I love this one starch-free and light. You get depth but sprightliness.
Venison and Rice Stick Stir-Fry
Ambassador Roland Eng's Khmer Noodles
Tom Yumtini
Lettuces, Sprouts and Snow Peas With Radish Water
Ginger Cucumber Salad With Scallops
This 2004 recipe draws its inspiration from Thailand, where Mark Bittman first sampled it. The original was topped with shrimp, but his version uses scallops, “a slightly more unusual and elegant combination,” but don’t feel tied to just scallops: any grilled meat, poultry or fish work just as well here.
