Using a rice cooker for paella would certainly deviate from the dish’s authenticity (we’re already expecting cries of outrage in the comments. Have at it!), but it would certainly make that ultimate one-pot meal so much simpler. No more soggy rice or blackened rice bottoms. In Chinese, this technique is called men fan (焖饭). Recipes like Chicken and Mushroom Clay Pot Rice, Hong Kong Style Clay Pot Rice and Shanghai Cai Fan all use this same technique but could also be turned into rice cooker recipes....

I first tried it in a Japanese restaurant in New Jersey, of all places, when I was still in high school and didn’t like sushi (gasp!). Eschewing all of the raw fish on the menu, I chose a “soy sauce butter spaghetti,” which I had absolutely no expectations for (how good could it be…?), and it Blew. My. Mind. Of course at the time, I didn’t have a food blog and my thoughts generally didn’t stray too far from history tests and yearbook deadlines (dark days…), but it’s now time to share it with the world....

Like Peach Cobbler, this dessert is best served warm and topped with scoops of vanilla ice cream or dollops of whipped cream. Who knew this dessert could be so good! What is Cobbler?

All of our previous trips to Shanghai have been just 3 to 7 days long, so this time Bill and I decided to rent an apartment for two and half months. As you can probably imagine, this stay also includes a lot of eating and testing new recipes and ingredients for The Woks of Life. After all, we can’t forget about our day jobs! After a fitful first night in the city, we were out at the break of dawn looking for a Chinese breakfast, if not, THE Shanghai breakfast that’s been on my mind: da bing (大饼) and you tiao (油条)....

The tart and sweet tomatoes provide the perfect contrast to the marbled, thinly sliced beef. Enoki mushrooms and mung bean vermicelli both add additional textural contrast for a warming, satisfying meal. Is This Technically a “Hot Pot?” Well, technically, it’s a soup, but it would be made even better if you put the pot on an induction or other electric burner and enjoyed it while it was piping hot and bubbling away!...

Traveling Through Food When I was living in China, I got a few changes to travel around the country. I went to places like the Yellow Mountain in Anhui, the Terra Cotta Warriors complex in Xi’An, the enormous bustling city of Shanghai, and the Yungang Grottoes in Shanxi Province. But in the two years that I was living in that part of the world, with its fast food hot pot and air-conditioned subway systems, I never made it to Southeast Asia....
