It’s astonishing how much scallion flavor you get in these noodles. A garnish of crunchy fried scallion slices takes it wonderfully over the top.

Sticky, flavorful wings that get a rich, deep color from dark soy sauce.

You’ve never met a dumpling filling that’s as fluffy and moist as this one.

Mouth-numbing, sweet, salty, and crunchy peanuts you can’t stop eating.

The flavors of this fish are out of control—super spicy, super intense, super delicious.

This dish is all about the sweet and salty soy paste, which balances out the bitterness of the broccoli.

We love the chewy, bouncy texture of wood ear mushrooms.

Sweet potato flour makes the crispiest crust for these pork cutlets, while a soy marinade gives them extra depth.

This salad is palate-cleansing and refreshing. A little spicy, a little tart—and you can prep it in advance.
