Spicy Stir-Fried Green Beans
My secret for cooking stir-fried vegetables is to partially cook them in the microwave first so you don’t overcook them in the wok. Use this technique and sauce as a template you can copy and paste onto other vegetables.
Crispy Roast Pork (Hong-Kong Style)
This is a speciality dish of Cantonese BBQ shops in Hong Kong. Pork belly is salted and roasted at two different temperatures to keep the meat moist but the skin crispy.
Jamaican Chicken Curry
This recipe was inspired by Raiz Phillips’ beautiful book, West Winds: Recipes, History, and Tales from Jamaica. If you want more of an insightful look into the perspective of the Jamaican diaspora, I highly recommend reading Phillips’ book.
Sicilian Fish Stew with Garlic Aioli
Think of this as the lighter, less expensive version of cioppino, the stew that was created by Italian immigrants in San Francisco, California. It’s perfect for your upcoming beach dinner party! Serve with a crispy, white wine from Italy like Vermentino.
Wild Ramp Focaccia
Ramps are a hybrid between onion/garlic. They can be found in the late spring in wooded areas and farmers' markets. Do not confuse wild ramps with garlic scapes. I love using them in pickles, scrambled eggs, in salsas over grilled meats, or bread baking!
