Season a whole chicken and air fry for about an hour. Voila… crispy skin, juicy meat, perfect. Why I LOVE Whole Chicken in the Air Fryer Oven roast chicken is a go to meal, and it’s even easier in the air fryer. This is hands down my favorite air fryer meal, it comes out with extra-crisp skin and is very juicy & fall off the bone tender. Using the air fryer to cook any cut of chicken is so easy....

This wet market has really gotten a lot bigger and better since we’ve gotten here. They moved the meat vendors and fish mongers to a newly expanded section, increased the number of vegetable sellers to keep prices reasonable, and added new vendors selling freshly-made dumplings, kimchi and other pickles, assorted braised meats, and fresh, flaky shaobing (烧饼). Smog aside, our wet market is definitely a big plus to living in Beijing....

Posted Apr 28, 2016, Updated Jul 17, 2024 Have you ever hit recipe gold? I mean, you’ve created something and think, “this is so good it could be used as currency.” Thats how I feel about these Fudgy Paleo Brownies. They are fudgy, gooey, irresistibly chocolatey. These paleo brownies are insanely delicious and are gluten-free, dairy-free, paleo and vegan! Plus, they come together in 15 (yes, fifteen) minutes flat! This paleo brownie recipe was born out of my desire to make super fudgy paleo brownies that didn’t call for melted chocolate....

Using Silken Tofu This braised tofu made with silken tofu is similar to our traditional Hong Shao Tofu, but that version of the dish is made with a medium or soft tofu. Read more about the various types of tofu on our tofu ingredients page. Silken tofu is the most delicate of all tofu types and breaks up easily, so the added step of deep frying it puts a thin crust around the exterior that helps it hold up in a gentle stir fry....
What more? They are pretty firm truffles and do not melt in the summer heat and taste equally great at room temperature. This makes it perfect to take away to a potluck. What are Brigadeiro Truffles? Brigadeiro truffles are a Brazilian sweet made with just 3 ingredients that are sweetened condensed milk, cocoa powder, and butter. Its origin is around world war 2 when there was a shortage of sugar in Brazil while sweetened condensed milk was available so the dessert came into being....
Bitter Melon is a superfood—one of the healthiest vegetables (fruits?) you can eat! Pork mellows out its strong flavor, and as we head into fall, this is the perfect transitional soup. This is our second bitter melon recipe this summer. The fact Sarah had two bowls of this soup in one sitting is a true testament to how delicious it really is. Cooking With What We Have on Hand With all the food we’ve been making for the cookbook photoshoots lately, I had some leftover rib bones trimmed from a few large slabs of pork belly....
Two Kinds of Ginger Scallion Oil You may be familiar with our cooked ginger scallion oil (with chilies) that relies on hot oil to achieve a deep ginger scallion flavor. It has become a staple condiment for many of you! This version, however, is more traditional. It represents the epitome of Cantonese cooking: pure flavors, simple preparation, and very little added spice or seasoning. It consists of raw ginger, raw scallion, oil, and salt....
Now, understand that although I was practically raised on this stuff like most children were raised on dinosaur chicken nuggets, I came to the party with absolutely no knowledge of how to actually make this Cantonese classic roast pork belly. But don’t worry…although I happen to be writing this Chinese crispy roast pork belly recipe, I had a lot of help from the parents on this one. We did our research (this YouTube video played a big part in our success), and the results were pretty on point....
Making a cheese ball recipe is easy and best when made ahead of time. This is perfect for any party! Store Bought Just Does Not Compare Cheese balls have been a classic appetizer at parties for as long as I can remember! I always tend to move towards the savory snacks at a party and cheese is at the top of my list.

Chalk it up to our Chinese upbringing that tended to be devoid of most junk foods, and an overall desire to save money on the part of our mom. Case in point: Cheetos at the school lunch bargaining table were tantamount to gold ingots for us, and we would (often in vain) try to trade our peach yogurt for just a handful. Dark times, folks. Dark times. Every so often, though, my mother would cave at the grocery store, and Sarah and I would immediately jump for the most coveted of grocery store junk foods: frozen dinners....

Now you can make chicken street tacos right at home for an easy, fresh and delicious meal! What is a Street Taco? A street taco is a very basic taco filled with grilled meat, often beef, chicken, pork, or sometimes shrimp or fish. Both the flavors and the ingredients tend to be simple, clean and fresh! The meat mixture is scooped into a soft corn tortilla and served with onions, cilantro, and pico de gallo (or your favorite fresh toppings)....
The Magic of Fermented Black Beans This no-brainer, everyday stir-fry is elevated with the addition of black beans, and the always necessary duo of ginger and garlic. These ingredients are pretty easy to get and pretty cheap to stock your pantry with. Black beans in particular can be purchased from your Asian grocery store at around $2/pound!

What’s different about Chinese boiled peanuts? Like the boiled peanuts you might find down south at roadside stands and convenience stores, this boiled peanut recipe is easy––using fresh raw peanuts, water, and salt. However, the Chinese version also calls for a few aromatics for extra flavor: Sichuan peppercorns, a cinnamon stick, bay leaves, and star anise. You can get adventurous and add other flavors like garlic, dry chili peppers, or even lemongrass!...
Yep, that’s right–Chinese Spaghetti Bolognese. The name popped into my head as I was making this dish for the family. It’s ground beef in a silky Chinese-style brown sauce with plenty of delicious Asian flavors. Cooked until fragrant, mixed with green peas, and tossed with your favorite pasta, it’s similar to a traditional beef “Yook Soong,” but instead of serving it over rice, it’s tossed with spaghetti! (Of course, I’m definitely using the term “bolognese” here very loosely....
