Originally developed by our aunt (my dad’s older sister), we’ve since updated it with more details on pressing questions ya’ll have asked over the years: Some commenters have said the turkey legs are too salty—how much salt is optimal in the brine? Can I make these in the oven if I don’t have a charcoal grill or smoker? What if I’m making more or fewer turkey legs than the recipe calls for?...

There are many different varieties of mustard greens. The variety we use in this recipe is the Chinese mustard greens—called xuelihong in Chinese (雪里红). While we were lucky enough to find fresh xuelihong at our Chinese supermarket, we more often enjoy mustard greens pickled. You’ve probably seen it either in a can or a vacuum-packed pouch.

If you’ve ever been to a Chinese grocery store, you’ve probably seen big, brown, hairy, vaguely coconut-ish tubers shelved somewhere near the carrots and sweet potatoes.

You can find food there from almost every Latin American cuisine, and I still go to Union City’s Cuba Bakery whenever I can to get Cuban sandwiches–the kind of authentic creations that grease up the paper bag they come in. I hadn’t really been thinking about those awesome sandwiches in a while, however, until I saw the movie Chef recently. As far as I’m concerned, the Cuban Sandwich was the real star of that movie – the main character opens up a lunch truck that serves Cubanos and fried plantains… Check out our simple but much needed Tostones recipe to accompany this delicious Cubano....
But Chinatowns across America are struggling. While many businesses suffered during the pandemic, some of the hardest hit were the restaurants and local businesses in Chinatowns across the country. Over 150 storefronts and restaurants—many of them small, family-run businesses—have closed over the last two and a half years in Manhattan’s Chinatown alone.
