Rice Noodle

This hue beef noodle soup recipe gets a huge boost of flavor from shrimp paste and fish sauce.

There isn't a drop of alcohol in this dish—the name refers to how much you'll want to drink to combat the heat. We suggest a nice cold beer or sparkling wine. This recipe is finished with Thai basil, but you can use sweet basil if that's all you have.

The best thing about this salad is how it comes together in no time at all. Asian rice noodles generally cook more quickly than wheat noodles and with the addition of the precut coleslaw mix the prep time is very minimal.

Tamarind juice concentrate helps gives this riff on the popular Thai stir-fry its tangy flavor.

Flavorful and juicy, chicken thighs can be a thrifty alternative to breast meat. You can often find them in value packs at your local supermarket.

It takes bold flavors to stand up to the smoky richness of grilled beef, and this salad delivers. A tangle of rice-stick noodles cradles Asian greens, apples, and mint, and tender slices of flank steak top things off. The finishing touch? A drizzle of sweet dressing tangy with fish sauce and fiery with red-pepper flakes.
