Using a sous vide immersion cooker for the chicken in this salad makes it moist and full of flavor. A shout out to my good friend, Liza Boubari, who designed part of our logo, has a new show for women, about women, by women called The Original with Chris and Liza.
These Air-Fried Egg Rolls with Steak, Rice, and Cabbage are so easy to make and since they are not deep-fried, are healthy. If you want them vegetarian or vegan, just eliminate the steak.
Boo! No, these are not really bat wings - they are chicken wings napped in oyster sauce. This recipe was given to me by Chef John Farion a long time ago and this was the first time I made it. John did good, these were excellent.
We love these Asian Noodles with Chinese food, but they are really good with other foods as well. You can have them hot in the winter and cold in the summer. Very versatile and tasty. They are lightly dressed so their flavor is not overwhelming.
Usually, Chinese lemon chicken is sliced breast of chicken, but when you have some lovely thighs, you can't resist that crispy skin from air fryer Chinese lemon chicken.
Egg Drop Soup is so easy to make. Add dumplings and vegetables to make a whole meal.
Asian Chicken with Molasses Glaze and Rice is a great combination of molasses, ginger, soy sauce, and garlic. This is easy to make, a dish perfect for a weeknight and ready in about an hour.
Sometimes, it's nice to have something that is a little lighter fare. This Asain dish, Asian Meatballs with Spicy Cucumber Salad really hits the spot flavorwise. It's very simple and quick to make, so you can make this for a weeknight dinner - I don't know about having leftovers, this will probably get all eaten up! If you don't like spicy food, you can leave the chili out of the cucumber salad.
We make this healthy by including wheatgerm in the meatballs, and we bake the balls in the oven instead of frying or sauteing them.
This is my son's favorite Kung Pao chicken. It's spicy but not as tongue blazing as the dish at our local Chinese restaurant, which we love. This is also very simple to make, and you probably have the ingredients in your kitchen already - well, maybe not the Hoisin sauce, but that is available at a supermarket near you. It's also very easy to add more heat if you want, just add more peppers.
Asian Cucumber Salad is spicy and refreshing, perfect for your Asian feast, or just by itself. Experience a burst of freshness with a delightful fusion of flavors that showcases the vibrant essence of Asian cuisine.
