Creamy Miso Udon Soup
It’s not often I am so moved by food I had at Disney World that I decide to recreate it at home. This was the top dish of my entire day at Epcot so I decided to recreate a version at home but elevating it to include soubise onions and white miso.
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.
