A simple, creamy baked egg recipe with a limey-hot sauce on top.

A super healthy way to start the day.

Sambal oelek and chili-garlic sauce are similar except the latter has garlic in it. Glad we could help clear that up.

A hearty, healthy recipe that’s halfway done before you even start cooking.

Yes, fried rice for breakfast counts if there's an egg (or 3) in it!

Broccoli and sausage pair up for an indulgent veg-heavy pasta dinner.

Here's how to get that deep caramelization and custardy interior.

Even steaming can overcook chicken. Keep the heat and steam gentle and remove it when it’s just firm and has a bit of spring when pressed.

Salsa cruda tastes best drizzled atop some kind of meat-based antojitos or entrées (such as carnitas), or at least a dish with very robust, “meaty” vegetables, like grilled portobello or king oyster mushrooms. It's a little too raw-tasting to eat on its own with chips.

Look for dandelion greens that aren't much longer than a pencil, with waif-like stems. If you can't find them, swap in chopped chard, or spinach, or whatever greens happen to look best at your market.

If this brings back memories of the “house salad” from that Italian-American restaurant you grew up eating at, then we consider our jobs done.

For a simple, just-the-right-amount-of-salty appetizer, doctor up a tin of anchovies. The acid, heat, and olive oil mellow the anchovies’ flavor, and serving them with a seedy loaf of bread and butter rounds the recipe.

Partially freeze the short ribs before you slice to get really thin cuts.

This tahini dressing recipe goes especially well with bitter greens but can also be paired with sweeter lettuces such as Little Gem or romaine.

The marinated white anchovies make this carrot salad stand out by adding a nice vinegary bite (if you opt for regular anchovies, season with less salt), and those little fishes are good for you, too!

Never cooked cucumbers before? This recipe should convince you to give the method a try, especially when they’re quickly tossed in a hot pan and kept crisp, as they are here.

Lil' Deb's Oasis's take on Peruvian "tiger's milk" features the energizing combo of fresh citrus juice, ginger, and turmeric.

If you want yours soft in the middle, shave a minute or two off the cooking time. 

Think of this as a salad sandwiched between two slices of bread.

Stuck in a salmon rut? We got you. You'll never believe how easy it is to make your own sweet-salty teriyaki sauce at home, and there's no better application for it than this beyond-simple weeknight favorite.

Double the recipe. Triple the recipe. Quadruple the recipe. Whatever. It doesn’t even matter. However many cashews you make, it will never be enough.

Plums are summer’s all-stars. You should eat and cook with them only when they are peaking, plentiful, and widely available in many varieties.

You can use almost any type of plum in this salad recipe, even hybrid ones like Pluots and Peacotums. If it looks like a plum, it probably acts like a plum too.

This sauce tastes like a cross between ranch and Alabama white sauce, which means you can basically put it on anything.
