    10. Peaches and Tomatoes with Burrata and Hot Sauce

    Sweet. Salty. Spicy. This summer salad has everything (plus burrata). Buy the freshest tomatoes and ripest peaches you can find at the farmers’ market, and you’ll only be a few ingredients away from a perfect, refreshing-yet-decadent salad.

    8. Chile Crisp

    This all-purpose chile crisp—which is tangy, spicy, crunchy, and addictive—will give your other condiments an inferiority complex. Put it to good use on eggs, meat, seafood, or anything that could use some spicy ginger-garlic-shallot action.

    4. Hoisin-Turkey Meatballs with Glass Noodles

    The secret ingredient in these fast baked turkey meatballs is QUINOA! That helps them stay fluffy, and the hoisin flavors the turkey and helps prevent it from drying out. The glass noodles—made of sweet potato starch—are a great base, and have a nice chewy, springy texture.
