Orange Chicken

Orange Chicken

A traditional dish from Chinese-American restaurants, orange chicken consists of crispy fried chicken mixed in a tangy, sticky citrus sauce. But, others would argue that if you've just ever ordered it for takeout or delivery, you've been losing out.

There is much to be said for the delicate balance of orange chicken prepared in the style of takeout when it is first removed from the pan. You simultaneously experience the crunch and the savoriness. But after 30 minutes, forget it. Just out of the pan, it tastes so much better. Thankfully, it's simpler than you may imagine to bring the staple of Chinese takeaway home.

Creamy Chicken Congee topped with Bacon

Add bones for the most delicious congee. It's a cost-effective and environmentally friendly method of cooking, but I use it because the chicken congee I make with the bones is far superior. Congee can be made with just water and rice; nevertheless, many traditional meals around the world use the time-honored method of adding bones to dishes that don't necessarily call for them.

Sesame Ginger Garlic Chicken

In the past, I had conflicting emotions regarding skinless, boneless chicken breast. I'm aware that many people consider it to be the simplest, most approachable cut of chicken to prepare, but I've witnessed it go horribly wrong far too often to concur. It is challenging to cook properly because of the irregular thickness and shape; by the time the thickest part's core is fully done, the other portions are overcooked. Additionally, without the bones to protect it from direct heat and the skin to keep it moist as it cooks, the meat is extremely susceptible to drying out. But you can easily overcome the drawbacks of skinless, boneless chicken breasts. Bring them to a flat, even thickness by pounding. It becomes a "paillard" once it has been pounded. It cooks amazingly.

Serve with roasted sweet potatoes and zucchini on the side for welcome pops of color.

Bubble Tea

Catching up with loved ones and listening to our favorite music while we chewed on our tapioca pearls. Much has changed since I was first introduced to bubble tea, but my love for bubble tea has not. The traditional milk tea is my favorite. The sweet, creamy beverage of strong tea, milk and those addictive tapioca pearls is something I crave so frequently. Have you got a favorite flavor of bubble tea?

Beef Stew Plus Corn

I was taken aback when corn on the cob was included among the ingredients in a chicken stew recipe. Why not try it with my beef stew, I reasoned? I'm pleased I gave it a shot. You ought to do the same. That adds some great flavor.
