Butternut Squash Oat Muffins With Candied Ginger

Sekihan (Red Bean Sticky Rice)
Steamed sticky rice tinted red with adzuki beans is essential Japanese celebration food, for graduations, festivals, milestone birthdays and even first periods (to the extreme embarrassment of teenage girls). Sekihan is usually one of many dishes on the table, and more than pairing with any particular flavor, it conveys a sense of ceremony. In Japan, it’s not essential to osechi ryori, New Year’s cooking, but for some Japanese and many Japanese-Americans, sekihan is part of welcoming the New Year. This recipe was adapted from Gaye Sasaki Chinn, whose family has been celebrating the Japanese New Year in Seattle for more than a century. The internet is rife with shortcut-recipes for making sekihan in a rice cooker, but if you’re going to make it only for special occasions, it’s worth taking the time to steam the rice, as the Sasakis do.

Seared and Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Red Pepper and Mint Gremolata
Searing brussels sprouts in a hot cast iron pan was a revelation to me when I first began preparing them this way a few years ago. In this version, adapted from Momofuku’s recipe for Roasted Brussels Sprouts With Fish Sauce Vinaigrette, as featured in Food52’s upcoming book “Genius Recipes,” I achieve the sear on the cut surface of the sprouts in the pan, finish them in a hot oven, then return them to the frying pan, where in the meantime I have cooked a sweet red pepper. The combo is

Spicy Corn and Shishito Salad
In this recipe, shishito peppers are sliced, lightly sautéed, then tossed with raw summer corn and a cumin-lime vinaigrette for a summer salad that’s crunchy, smoky and a little spicy. Traditionally used in Japanese and Korean cooking, shishitos are small, thin-skinned green peppers that have become increasingly popular in the United States. They are typically mild in flavor, but the occasional pepper packs a spicy punch. If you can’t find them, use diced green bell peppers in their place. Finally, cilantro-averse cooks can substitute fresh mint.

Mashed Potato and Broccoli Raab Pancakes
A delicious way to use mashed potatoes, whether they be leftovers or freshly mashed. Use leftover mashed potatoes from Thanksgiving for these, or just steam up some potatoes and mash (that is what the nutritional values here are based on, not on your buttery leftover Thanksgiving mashed potatoes). Whichever way you go, the mixture is very quickly thrown together.

Butternut Squash and Purple Potato Latkes
Purple potatoes add a bit of color and some extra nutrients but regular white potatoes work, too. Of course you can use white potatoes for these, but I loved the idea of the color combo when I created the recipe. The purple doesn’t show up so much once you have browned the latkes but the anthocyanins in the potatoes are still there.
