Fried Pickle Salad
This has been my hyper-fixation meal of late. This delicious salad starts with a hearty mix of shredded cabbage and massaged kale, making it ideal for meal prep. It’s topped with shredded rotisserie chicken, radish sticks, and sliced cherry tomatoes, then drizzled with a creamy homemade ranch packed with fresh herbs and plenty of garlic. This satisfying salad always hits the spot and comes together quickly, as long as your ingredients are prepped ahead of time.
Fish Sauce-Pickled Garlic
This is the first of our fish sauce recipes to support my new series on Demystifying Asian Ingredients. Inaugurating our fish sauce series is a recipe that incorporates fish sauce into a garlic-infused pickle brine. What's fantastic about it? The garlic not only enhances dishes like Korean pork belly lettuce wraps (bossam) but can also be minced and incorporated into sauces or dressings like nuoc cham.
Pho-Spiced Candied Jalapeños
I decided to make a batch of candied jalapeños that are spiced with pho flavors. Be careful, these are extremely addictive. These would be fabulous served with a chicken liver pâté or a hot spinach artichoke dip.
