Chinese Smashed Cucumbers With Sesame Oil and Garlic
In China, cucumbers are considered the ideal foil for hot weather and hot food. Versions of this salad, pai huang gua, are served all over the country, sometimes spiked with dried chiles and Sichuan peppercorns for more dimensions of flavor. In Beijing, people buy whole chilled cucumbers from street vendors and munch them on the go, much as Americans become attached to their cups of iced coffee in summer. The smashing process, a classic Chinese technique, cracks the skin, helps release the seeds and splits the flesh into appealing craggy pieces. Salting and chilling the cracked cucumbers give them the perfect cool, crunchy, watery mouth feel.

Stir-Fried Baby Turnips With Spring Onions, Green Garlic and Tofu
The fresh ginger I’m finding at springtime farmers’ markets is new and juicy, like the spring garlic and onions. I’m sure this is going to be just one of many springtime stir-fries, but right now it’s a favorite. It’s inspired by an irresistible bunch of baby turnips I bought at a Sunday farmers’ market. The turnips were no bigger than a small round radish, but their greens were lush – I had about 6 cups of leaves after I’d stripped them from the stems. Sweet spring onions and green garlic contrast beautifully with the bitter flavor of the turnip greens.

Quick Steamed Flounder With Ginger-Garlic Mustard Greens
This recipe, inspired by a Chinatown dinner, puts the bold tastes of sesame oil, ginger and soy sauce front and center. Here, a steamed piece of flounder sits on a bed of mustard greens, limp, tender and infused with garlic. The greens take the place of choy sum, a relative of bok cho, and give the dish a slightly mustardy flavor. It’s a quick, healthy weeknight dinner packed with flavor. Try it tonight.
