Chicken Mazemen
Quick and flavorful, mazemen is a brothless ramen that was created in Japan as a quick bite that is both easy to eat and satisfying. This homemade version is simple and easy, thanks to fast-cooking ground chicken and some everyday pantry ingredients that effortlessly create a rich sauce. Swirling tahini into the noodles at the end creates the silky texture. Fresh ramen noodles give a more authentic texture to the dish, but dried ramen also works nicely. A fresh topping of bean sprouts and grated radishes wakes up the dish; chopped cucumbers would be great, too. Enjoy the mazemen warm or at room temperature.

Vegan Dan Dan Salad
Turns out, dan dan noodles work well as a salad, in this recipe adapted from my cookbook “Linger: Salads, Sweets and Stories to Savor” (Knopf, 2025), as the signature punchy sauce made with sesame paste and chile oil transforms nicely into an assertive dressing. Curly and chewy ramen noodles cling perfectly to the sauce, but you could really use any noodle you like, including instant noodles, udon or thick rice noodles. Adapt this salad throughout the year by adding seasonal vegetables such as mushrooms, broccoli, cauliflower, sugar snap peas, snow peas, spinach or green beans.
