Bonus - the recipe is remarkably hard to mess up. I remember the people I ate with and the times we spent together. I fondly remember the distinctly different spices and aromas of the cooking in my Mother’s house in Pakistan - a distinctly sweeter and nuttier taste to the vegetables, a fragrance of ghee richer than I’ve ever smelt outside of the country and a chewier texture of the meat....

Below we talk about the ins and outs of cooking with red wine and its importance in developing the flavor of a dish. The Best Red Wines for Cooking Red wine has long been recorded in history as not only being served with food but as an important part of the cooking process. In general, only cook with a wine you would drink. The lighter and medium reds for most recipes will result in dishes that are rich and deep in savory flavor....

Shepherd’s purse is a wild vegetable that’s kind of shaped a little like dandelion greens. They have a wonderful, delicate flavor, and they’re often used in this Shanghai-style stir-fried rice cake dish. The people of Shanghai love Shepherd’s Purse. We use it to make wontons, dumplings, soups, buns and stir-fried Shanghai rice cake (or nian gao), of course. Okay, here comes the bad news: I’ve never seen fresh shepherd’s purse in the US....
The original Shrimp and Broccoli is made with a white sauce with garlic, but the vast majority of people modified the order: “make it with brown sauce!” After making it a few times this past week, I can see why. Nobody can resist that richly-flavored dark brown sauce over their steamy white rice. How Do You Prepare Shrimp and Broccoli? A good Shrimp and Broccoli stir-fry is much easier than you think!...
Chinese chefs also use this ingredient in more subtle ways, which we’ll discuss below. (Though red Sichuan peppercorns are most common, there is also a green variety. Take a peek at our article on green Sichuan peppercorns to learn more about them.) What Are Sichuan Peppercorns? How Do They Taste? Red Sichuan peppercorns are the reddish-pink berries of the prickly-ash tree, with small, dark seeds and a bright, citrus-y aroma....
Wonton Soup is something that seems familiar to a lot of us. Take the wonton soup from your local takeout place…$2.25 for the small, $4.25 for the large. The most dipped-into pot in the Chinese buffet line. Those giant rubbery yellow dumplings that take at least three bites to tackle. While I do have a soft spot in my heart for those giant rubbery takeout wontons (like the guilty pleasure of a fast food cheeseburger), there’s nothing like the wonton soup recipe my mom has been making––and that we’ve been eating––for decades....

These steamed scallops were served with a salty-sweet soy sauce and caramelized minced garlic over glass noodles on the half shell and were so delicious. They cost about 13 RMB (about 2 bucks a piece) and you had to buy at least 3, which was no sweat, even if I was the only one eating them! Things to Know When Buying Scallops Fresh sea scallops were available in many wet markets around Beijing, where you could not only buy them, but have the fish mongers shuck them for you....
We haven’t had a good black bean recipe yet either so this should cover at least two omissions in our recipe collection. We used manila clams for this recipe, which were quite small (about 25 to 30 per pound) but are beautiful and sweet.
