    Garlicky Ginger Eggplant

    How to Make Garlicky Ginger Eggplant

    This asian-inspired vegetable dish features eggplant, mushrooms, and bean sprouts in a garlic-ginger hoisin sauce. The recipe calls for Chinese or Japanese eggplant, which is long and skinny. If you can’t find Chinese eggplant, you can sub in regular eggplant and chop into 1-inch cubes. This could be a side dish or a vegetarian main dish. Add tofu or other plant-based protein source for a complete vegetarian meal.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Fill a flat round cake pan with water. Place a
      clean, smooth (not fuzzy) kitchen towel on your work
      surface. Arrange the lettuce, tofu, carrots, cucumber,
      sprouts, and mint into individual piles on a plate.
    2. Put 1 rice paper in the water. Soak until pliable.
      Place the rice paper on top of the kitchen towel. Blot
      dry. The paper should be sticky, not slippery. Stack
      the ingredients as follows, one on top of the other on
      the side of the paper closest to you: 1 lettuce leaf,
      1 piece of tofu, some carrot, cucumber, sprouts, and
      2 mint leaves, one beside the other.
    3. Fold the side of the paper that is farthest from
      you over the filling tightly. Be careful not to tear it.
      Fold in the sides, and roll all the way to the end.
      Repeat this step with the remaining ingredients.

  • Togarashi Tilapia & Marinated Cucumber with Miso Stir-Fried Vegetables

    Togarashi Tilapia & Marinated Cucumber with Miso Stir-Fried Vegetables

    How to Make Togarashi Tilapia & Marinated Cucumber with Miso Stir-Fried Vegetables

    Togarashi (a favorite Japanese seasoning that highlights poppy seeds, dried orange peel, and more) makes for a zesty coating on flaky tilapia—perfectly matched by a bed of vegetables cooked with a savory-sweet sauce of miso paste, honey, and sesame oil.


    15 min prep time


    20 min cook time


    2servings


    1/2 recipe

    Print Recipe >

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Prepare the ingredients & make the sauce: Remove the honey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the stem ends of the green beans; halve crosswise. Cut off and discard the root ends of the bok choy; roughly chop, separating the stems and leaves. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers; remove the cores, then quarter lengthwise. Combine in a bowl; add the chopped bok choy stems. Halve the cucumber lengthwise, then thinly slice crosswise. Place in a bowl; add the vinegar and half the sesame oil. Stir to coat. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes. In a separate bowl, whisk together the honey (kneading the packet before opening), miso paste, remaining sesame oil, and 1 tablespoon of water.
    2. Start the stir-fry: While the cucumber marinates, in a medium pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1/2 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the halved green beans in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 2 to 3 minutes, or until lightly browned. Add 2 tablespoons of water (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the green beans are slightly softened.
    3. Finish the stir-fry: To the pan, add the prepared pepper mixture; season with salt (optional) and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3 to 4 minutes, or until softened. Add the chopped bok choy leaves and sauce. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until the sauce is thickened. Transfer to a bowl. Cover with foil to keep warm. Rinse and wipe out the pan.
    4. Cook the fish & serve your dish: Pat the fish dry with paper towels. Season on both sides with salt (optional), pepper, and all but a pinch of the togarashi. In the same pan, heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned fish and cook 3 to 4 minutes per side, or until browned and cooked through (an instant-read thermometer should register 145°F). Turn off the heat. Serve the finished stir-fry topped with the cooked fish and marinated cucumber (discarding any liquid). Garnish with the remaining togarashi. Enjoy!

    Togarashi Chicken & Orange Glaze with Miso-Roasted Vegetables & Marinated Pear

    How to Make Togarashi Chicken & Orange Glaze with Miso-Roasted Vegetables & Marinated Pear

    This Asian-style chicken gets a bright lift from wintry citrus in two ways: first, in a coating of togarashi seasoning (which includes dried orange peel) and then from the fresh orange juice we’re using to glaze the chicken in the pan while it cooks.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Prepare the ingredients & marinate the pear: Remove the honey from the refrigerator to bring to room temperature. Place an oven rack in the center of the oven, then preheat to 450°F. Wash and dry the fresh produce. Cut off and discard the stem ends of the green beans; halve crosswise. Cut the mushrooms into bite-sized pieces. Peel the carrots and cut crosswise into 1/2-inch-thick pieces. Cut out and discard the core of the cabbage; medium dice the leaves. Combine in a large bowl. Halve the orange crosswise; squeeze the juice into a separate bowl. Grate the pear on the large side of a box grater, discarding the core. In a large bowl, whisk together the mirin, sesame oil, and honey (kneading the packet before opening); season with salt and pepper. Add the grated pear and toss to coat. Set aside to marinate, stirring occasionally, at least 10 minutes.
    2. Roast the vegetables: Meanwhile, in a bowl, whisk together the miso paste, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, and 1 tablespoon of warm water. Divide the prepared vegetables between 2 sheet pans. Evenly top the vegetables with the miso mixture. Toss to thoroughly coat and arrange in an even layer. Roast 14 to 16 minutes, or until browned and tender when pierced with a fork. Remove from the oven.
    3. Cook & glaze the chicken: Meanwhile, pat the chicken dry with paper towels; season on both sides with salt (optional), pepper, and enough of the togarashi to coat (you may have extra). In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 1 tablespoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the seasoned chicken. Cook 6 to 7 minutes, or until browned. Flip and cook 4 minutes. Add the orange juice (carefully, as the liquid may splatter). Cook, frequently spooning the juice over the chicken, 2 to 3 minutes, or until the chicken is coated and cooked through(An instant-read thermometer should register 165°F). Transfer the cooked chicken to a cutting board.
    4. Slice the chicken & serve your dish: Slice the glazed chicken crosswise. Serve the roasted vegetables topped with the sliced chicken and marinated pear (including any liquid). Enjoy!

    Quinoa Fried Rice with Bok Choy, Shishitos & Carrots

    How to Make Quinoa Fried Rice with Bok Choy, Shishitos & Carrots

    Classic fried rice gets a twist in this recipe: we’re swapping in red quinoa, whose hearty texture complements a flavorful combination of sautéed cabbage, carrots, and shishito peppers. The velvety smooth yolk of a fried egg adds an extra layer of rich, savory flavor.

    Step-By-Step Instructions:

    1. Cook the quinoa. Fill a medium pot 3/4 of the way up with water; cover and heat to boiling on high. Once boiling, add the quinoa and cook, uncovered, 14 to 16 minutes, or until tender. Drain thoroughly.
    2. Prepare the ingredients. Meanwhile, wash and dry the fresh produce. Peel the carrots; thinly slice on an angle. Cut off and discard the stems of the peppers, then thinly slice into rings. Combine the sliced carrots and peppers in a bowl. Thinly slice the bok choy, separating the stems and leaves. Peel and roughly chop 2 cloves of garlic. Peel and finely chop the ginger. In a large bowl, combine the prepared garlic, ginger, and bok choy stems. Roughly chop the peanuts.
    3. Cook the vegetables. In a large pan (nonstick, if you have one), heat 2 teaspoons of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Add the prepared carrots and peppers; season with salt (optional) and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, 4 to 5 minutes, or until lightly browned and slightly softened. Add the prepared aromatic mixture and as much of the red pepper flakes as you’d like, depending on how spicy you’d like the dish to be; season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring frequently, 3 to 4 minutes, or until slightly softened. Add the sliced bok choy leaves. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until wilted and combined. Transfer to a large bowl. Cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out the pan.
    4. Fry the quinoa. In the same pan, heat the sesame oil on medium-high until hot. Add the cooked quinoa in an even layer. Cook, without stirring, 3 to 4 minutes, or until slightly crispy. Turn off the heat; stir in the soy sauce and vinegar. Transfer to the bowl of cooked vegetables; stir to combine. Taste, then season with salt and pepper, if desired. Cover with foil to keep warm. Wipe out the pan.
    5. Fry the eggs & serve your dish. In the same pan, heat 1 teaspoon of olive oil on medium-high until hot. Crack the eggs into the pan, keeping them separate. Season with salt (optional) and pepper. Cook 4 to 5 minutes, or until the whites are set and the yolks are cooked to your desired degree of doneness. Turn off the heat. Serve the finished quinoa and vegetables topped with the fried eggs. Garnish with the chopped peanuts. Enjoy!

    Korean BBQ-Inspired Baked Salmon

    How to Make Korean BBQ-Inspired Baked Salmon

    The Korean BBQ-inspired sauce on this salmon has that ideal balance of sweet, salty, tangy, and spicy. The sweetness comes naturally from fruit, not added sugars. You could also use this sauce on chicken: bake boneless, skinless chicken thighs without the sauce for 15 minutes, then brush on the sauce and bake for another 15 minutes, or until cooked through.
