Easy Egg Rolls
Egg rolls are a must-have side dish with Asian food. They can be made ahead until you’re ready to fry them. Serve these egg rolls with your favorite Asian dipping sauce.
Ginger Beef & Bok Choy Stir-Fry with Sushi Rice
Stir-fries are full of great flavor, and this one, with seared steak and sweet-and-spicy fresh ginger, has it all. Ready in 30 minutes or less, this makes a great weeknight dinner. The secret — cook a whole steak to medium-rare so it stays pink and juicy. Then let it rest so the juices have time to redistribute. Slice the steak into small pieces to add back to the stir-fry just before serving.
Baby bok choy is a smaller, sweeter version of regular bok choy, but don’t fret if you can’t…
Red Curry Shrimp & Butternut Squash
For many of us, Asian food evokes thoughts of flavorful dishes from culinary places far away, or at the very least, a trip to a favorite local Asian restaurant. There’s no need to travel any further than your own kitchen in order to have these tasty meals.
Curry dishes get their flavor from rich pastes made of aromatics. In this red-style curry, that paste is a mixture of red chili peppers, ginger, garlic, and lemongrass. It’s a bit spicy, but coconut milk tames the heat.
Spicy Creamed Corn
Few side dishes are as crowd-pleasing and easy as creamed corn. Half-and-half and cream cheese add the creaminess, while scallions, garlic, and jalapeño provide a little punch and heat.
Pizza Grilled Cheese with Pepperoni
Forget calling for pizza delivery. This grilled cheese sandwich has everything you want in a pie in less time than it takes to dial out. Ciabatta stands in perfectly for the crust, and grilling the sandwich ensures it’s crispy.
Skillet Potatoes with Apple & Onion
These “fried” potatoes are buttery and soft under their crispy exterior, making a perfect blend of textures. While apples aren’t normally fried with potatoes, they add a little crunch and a lot of fall flavor to the dish. The one essential to preparing this meal is a farm kitchen staple — a cast-iron skillet.
Ham Steak with Mashed Sweet Potatoes
Ham and sweet potatoes are the epitome of a Southern Sunday dinner, but because ham steaks are already fully cooked and sweet potatoes cook quickly, you can have the graceful meal any night of the week.
Since the ham needs only a quick sear, rub it with mustard and spices for a flavor punch. While the sweet potatoes boil, combine butter, brown sugar, and cinnamon. Mash the mixture into the hot potatoes for the taste of candied sweet potatoes without the work. Finally, since both of t…
Chicken & Bacon Burritos with Chipotle Dressing
It’s easy to see why burritos are a favorite American food — they’re an on-the-go complete meal. This adaptation of a BLT ups the flavor by including sautéed chicken breast, crispy cucumbers, and chipotle ranch dressing for the tastiest burrito this side of the Rio Grande.
Sautéed Swiss Chard with Raisins & Almonds
Sautéed Swiss Chard is a quick and easy — not to mention healthy — side dish that you can throw together on weeknights in 15 minutes or less. Golden raisins and toasted almonds add a bit of sweetness and crunch to the final dish.
Creole Beef Tenderloin Filets with trinity sauce
When you think of New Orleans, food always comes to mind. And good Cajun and Creole food never gets old. Spiced perfectly, this updated take on a classic — grillades — is so delicious you’ll want to party like it’s Mardi Gras. So put your beads on and let the good times roll.
Salmon Alfredo with Capers & Chives
You can never have enough pasta dishes in your arsenal for busy weeknights. This Alfredo, coupled with quick-cooking, user-friendly salmon, is one to add to your list.
The key is to start with the freshest fish available. To ensure freshness, head to a market with a high fish turnover. Buy a one pound portion of a whole side of salmon (or steelhead trout) with the skin still attached — it will easily “peel” right off after it’s cooked.
For flawless fettuccine Alfredo, toss the …
Korean Beef & Noodle Stir-Fry
The sky’s the limit for stir-fry add-ins, especially with summer produce at its height. A bed of Asian noodles soaks up all these distinctly Korean flavors.
The key to any Korean meal is balance, and this stir-fry is no exception. Spicy kimchi [KIHM-chee], sweet snap peas, hot beef tenderloin, and crisp, cool radish slices — everything has an equal place in the tantalizing whole.
Kimchi gives this stir-fry signature Korean flavor. Developed as a way to preserve vegetables such …
