Cucumber Salad With Soy, Ginger and Garlic
The trick to any sliced cucumber salad is to slice the cucumbers as thin as you can and to purge them by salting them before making the salad so the dressing doesn’t get watered down by the cucumber juice.
Chicken With Garlic-Chili-Ginger Sauce
Grilled Sesame Chicken and Eggplant Salad
This is a salad that is French by design and Chinese by flavor. The ginger and sesame notwithstanding, it is essentially very much like a salade composée, a “composed salad” where the ingredients are arranged and dressed but not tossed, with grilled chicken breast and a zesty vinaigrette. The jalapeño is optional, so you can turn down the heat.
Chicken Breast With Eggplant, Shallots And Ginger
Soy-Ginger Chicken With Greens
I serve these spicy pan-cooked pounded chicken breasts over a mound of pungent wild arugula or other salad greens. Some of the salad dressing serves as a marinade for the chicken.
Honey-and-Soy-Glazed Chicken Thighs
In this simple weeknight recipe, chicken thighs are tossed with a sweet-salty glaze made of honey and soy sauce that caramelizes into a sticky coating as it roasts in the oven. Serve the sliced chicken with bibb lettuce cups for wrapping, or over steamed rice to catch all the juices. Leftovers can be chopped and combined with vegetables for a tasty clean-out-the-fridge fried rice.
Sesame Chicken With Cashews and Dates
Dates add a touch of sweetness to this savory chicken and scallion stir-fry. If you don’t have a wok or a 12-inch skillet, you might want to cook this in two batches in a smaller pan. That will ensure a nice, browned crust on the meat. And if you want to substitute chicken breasts, stir-fry them for only 2 minutes in Step 2 before adding the rice wine.
Black Pepper Chicken Thighs With Mango, Rum and Cashews
Pairing spicy chilis and sweet mango in salsa is a classic. Here's a twist on a chicken sauté, spiked with plenty of black pepper, a little rum and mangoes folded in at the end to brighten the mix.
Soba Salad
For most people, even experienced cooks, weeknight dinners are not so much a result of careful planning but of what’s on hand — and what can be accomplished fairly quickly. Noodles of all kinds are easy and beloved. But soba noodles, a Japanese staple, are special: they usually take no more than 3 to 4 minutes to cook and, because they’re made from buckwheat, have a slightly firm texture and a nutty flavor. Traditionally, soba are served hot and cold, making them a flexible partner for almost any fresh ingredients you have in the kitchen. In this case, they are paired with shelled frozen edamame, carrots and spinach and a light dressing.
Cold Udon Noodles With Carrot and Egg
This simple udon dish is a perfect to-go lunch or easy dinner. Catherine Eng, a website designer in Los Angeles, makes this for her son. "I've got it down to a science, so it only takes me 10 or 15 minutes," she said. "And I can be sure he gets his carbs and protein." For the bonito-flavored soy soup base, like Kikkoman Hon Tsuyu, check your local Asian market or order it online.
Jim Meehan's Singapore Sling
Iced Coffee Sundaes
This ice cream sundae is born of both Vietnamese cà phê sữa đá, or dark roast coffee dripped over condensed milk, and Italian affogato, or espresso poured over ice cream. Here, a sort of granita made with very strong coffee is layered with a sweetened cream mixture, and then doused in a chocolatey coffee syrup. It’s a relatively lengthy endeavor, but one well worth doing. The individual parts must be made ahead of time, so plan accordingly.
Pressure Cooker Miso Chicken Ramen With Bok Choy
The pressure cooker brings this deeply flavored ramen within reach on a busy weeknight. The trick is to infuse the broth with as much flavor as possible using two powerful ingredients: miso and dried shiitake mushrooms. Use the best chicken broth you can get your hands on. Unsalted homemade broth is ideal, but a good, low-sodium store-bought chicken broth or bouillon works very well too. (Standard store-bought broth will make the soup too salty.) Water can also be a good base, but if you use it, be sure to use bone-in, skin-on chicken thighs to give the soup some body. For a bonus boost of umami, drop a piece of dried kombu seaweed into the soup when you add the bok choy, and remove it before serving. Find the slow-cooker version of the recipe here.
Tofu and Green Beans With Chile Crisp
I love to cook with chile crisp, a fiery hot-pepper condiment born in the Sichuan Province of China that generally relies on fried shallots and garlic for texture, and on any number of umami-rich special ingredients for distinction and oomph. It’s magical: a boon to noodle soups and kitchen-sink stir-fries, to eggs and cucumbers, to plain steamed fish. Here, I use it as the base of a marinade and topping for baked tofu and green beans, with black vinegar, a little sesame oil, a wisp of honey, minced garlic and ginger, along with scallions and cilantro. But you could use the mixture on a mitten and have a very nice meal.
Glass Noodles With Shrimp and Spicy Mustard Sauce
The secret pantry ingredient in this superfast, superflavorful noodle dish is Asian hot mustard powder. Mixed with equal parts water, the golden powder blooms into a pungent, spicy sauce. The noodles can be made a few hours ahead and served chilled or at room temperature. They will develop more flavor as they sit, though you should remove from the refrigerator 15 minutes before serving so that the noodles return to room temperature and soften. Jumbo shrimp cook in just a couple minutes, but precooked shrimp are also a convenient option. Eggs add a nice creamy texture that helps tame the hot mustard.
