Scallion Pancakes With Squid

The textures in this delicious recipe for pajeon, traditional Korean scallion-based pancakes, are manifold: meaty from the squid, crunchy yielding to soft from the fried bits of batter, juicy from the scallion. It came to The Times from Hooni Kim, the chef at Hanjan in Manhattan. One of the secrets to this pancake is waiting for the oil to heat up before mixing the batter. That way, the batter doesn’t sit around and turn gluey. Eat them as hot as you can without burning your fingers. The risk is worth it.

Easy Chicken Curry

Weeknight cooking doesn't get any easier than this endlessly adaptable five-ingredient, 30-minute curry from Mark Bittman. Sauté a pile of chopped onions in a little oil, then stir in curry powder (or red curry paste for Thai flavors). Pour in a can of coconut milk and swirl to combine. Add chicken, simmer until it's cooked through and finish with some chopped tomatoes. And dinner is served! This recipe lends itself to experimentation, so change it up. Be generous with spices. Toss in chopped bell pepper or carrots with the onions. Add a can of drained chickpeas or a generous handful of fresh spinach with the tomatoes. Instead of chicken, try shrimp, duck, turkey, firm fish, tofu, lump crab meat or beef. Just watch the cooking time: Fish, shrimp and crab cook faster than other meats. Also, don't forget to season as you go with salt and pepper.

Oyster Pie With Leeks, Bacon and Mashed Potatoes

Baked with a topping of mashed potatoes and buttered bread crumbs, this hearty oyster dish is reminiscent of oyster chowder or stew. It is a perfect use for larger oysters. Ask your fishmonger to shuck them for you. (It’s possible to buy pre-shucked oysters in a jar, but freshly shucked oysters are obviously fresher tasting.) Figure three or four oysters per person.

Smothered Shrimp in Crab-Meat Gravy

Alexander Smalls, the chef and an owner of two Harlem restaurants, the Cecil and Minton's, serves this dish over grits as an appetizer at Christmas, but it’s hearty enough for a meal at almost any time of year. It is a recipe rooted in the culinary traditions of the South Carolina coast and benefits mightily from the use of fresh shrimp and crab.

Abalone Ceviche

The abalone’s oceanic flavor comes with a uniquely al dente texture — it’s like an oyster crossed with a scallop with a twist of snail. (Only otters can eat it straight from the shell: fresh abalone requires tenderizing to transform its eraserlike consistency.) Long prized in Asian cuisine, it has become an American delicacy as well, served in high-end restaurants like Michel Richard's Citronelle in Washington.

Shaking Beef

This savory-sweet stir-fry, known as bo luc lac or “dice” in Vietnamese, gets its English name from the constant shaking of the pan performed by the cook while browning the meat. It can be tough work to move the hot wok constantly, and the intense heat can burn the ingredients in a wink. This recipe, adapted from the one served at Slanted Door, Charles Phan’s immensely popular Vietnamese restaurant in San Francisco, has been simplified for the home cook. Once the meat is marinated, it is quick work – 20 minutes from start to finish – but don’t try to expedite matters further by dumping all of the meat into the wok at once. Cook the meat in two batches (a pound at a time) so you get a nice, crisp sear.
