Chiang Mai Chicken Curry
Chiang Mai, in northern Thailand, has a somewhat different cuisine from the rest of Thailand, partly because it’s close to Myanmar, China, and Laos…
Thai Cashew Chicken
I’m a big fan of fast food. No, not the crap you buy from a drive-through. Not even those salt bombs you pick up at the supermarket because you are pressed for time.
Tuna and Avocado Rice Bowl
Last time I was in Sydney, my friend Kaoru gave me a packet of flavoring she said would spice up simple sushi rice. I thought it would be a good base for a rice bowl with some tuna.
Pot Stickers, aka Pork Dumplings
I love dim sum.
The Chinese invented this snack about 2,500 years ago for travelers who wanted something to go with a nice cup of tea when they stopped to rest along the way.
Vietnamese Shaking Beef (Bò Lúc Lắc)
There’s generally not much beef in Vietnamese diets but this recipe is a classic. And it’s simple to make.
Bac Ha Shrimp Cooked In Ginger
The Vietnamese prefer to leave the shell on the shrimp because, they say, it keeps the shrimp moist. Americans prefer peeled shrimp because it’s less of a hassle to eat. Choose whichever method suits you.
Szechuan Chicken
Szechuan Chicken is tasty and quick to prepare. A little chopping, a quick stir fry, and it’s ready to eat. Serve it with some steamed Jasmine rice.
Linguine With Clams and Mussel
One of the easiest and most delicious pasta dishes is made with clams and mussels. This takes no time at all (less than 20 minutes) and is pretty hard to mess up. (Just don’t overcook the seafood.)
Bac Ha Ginger Chicken
There are a zillion Chinese stir-fries. I've been trying to perfect a few favorites for weekday meals.
