We serve these Chinese fried spareribs as an appetizer, finger food, or as one of several main dishes in a family-style Chinese meal. I like to make a double batch for Super Bowl parties, because they’re phenomenal with an ice cold beer. The only problem is that as soon as these little fried pork ribs hit the table, they disappear! I can’t tell you how many times I’ve stood at the stove and couldn’t seem to fry them fast enough!...
Regardless of the occasion, this is the perfect seafood dish to celebrate your special occasion. As for us, we’re planning our Chinese New Year menu.

My mother used the same stuffing for tofu and peppers, but the stuffing can vary greatly depending upon where you have it or who prepares it. Generally, it will have one (or some combination) of three ingredients: ground shrimp, fish, or pork. For this recipe, I used shrimp for a lighter texture and also because…shrimp is awesome. If you do use pork, I suggest using a fattier ground pork for better flavor and texture....
These Chinese Zucchini Pancakes (AKA, 糊塌子, hu tazi) are something I ate when I was little. Or at least, my mother made something very similar. I used to roll them up like cigars to eat them, and I preferred them cold because then the pancakes become extra chewy after they’ve been cooled. (“Chewiness” just might be the holy grail of Chinese food textures.) At a time when having special foods like candy and even meat were a rare occasion, this ordinary zucchini pancake could be a real delight....

The first time I had this rice was at a Japanese restaurant in Philadelphia. My professor was paying for lunch for a group of students, which means, hey–SPRINGING for the $15 crab fried rice. At first I wasn’t really impressed by it. It was definitely good, but only later when I ate the leftovers with chili oil did I truly appreciate the flavors. So, as we do with many dishes on this here blog, we definitely recommend liberal amounts of chili oil on the side....

How to Make Crispy Tofu The secret to making crispy tofu without deep-frying is simply to pan-fry in a good nonstick or well-seasoned cast iron pan. You’ll use a fraction of the oil, but still end up with a crispy result. I dredge the tofu in a simple mixture of cornstarch and a little salt. It’s important to dredge the tofu quickly, and to put it directly into the pan of hot oil as you dredge it....

We served pitchers of these frozen peach daiquiris at a recent BBQ, and they were a hit with everyone! Something about a daiquiri just makes things festive, and something about perfect peaches makes summer great. If you have kids around or folks who don’t drink, just leave out the rum for virgin frozen daiquiris. Taking Full Advantage of Peach Season We recommend using yellow peaches, as they are much more fragrant than white peaches....
Serve this with mashed potatoes and a fresh side salad for a perfect meal. What Is Ham Loaf? Ham loaf is made like a traditional meatloaf but tastes much different. It uses a combination of ground ham, ground pork and traditional meatloaf ingredients like eggs and bread crumbs. It’s a great way to use up that leftover ham you aren’t sure what to do with! Ham: I use leftover ham for this recipe and give it a couple of pulses in a food processor....
