Nabeyaki Udon Soup with Chicken, Spinach, and Mushrooms

Ingredients:
1/2 cup dried sardines (about 1 ounce), or 1 (5") piece dried kombu
5 ounces mature spinach (about 3/4 bunch), trimmed
3/4 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more
1/2 cup snow peas
2 boneless, skinless chicken thighs (about 8 ounces), cut into 1" pieces
7 ounces thinly sliced shiitake, shimeji, or enoki mushrooms, roots trimmed
2 (1/2-ounce) pieces fried tofu (aburaage), cut into 1/4" slices (optional)
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon mirin
8 ounces udon noodles
1/2 cup sliced scallions
1 1/2 ounces Japanese fish cake, thinly sliced (optional)
2 large eggs

Instructions:
Place sardines or kombu in a large Dutch oven or donabe, fill with 6 cups water, and set aside at least 15 minutes or up to 1 hour.
Meanwhile, cook spinach in a medium pot of boiling salted water until just cooked through, about 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer to paper towels. Gently squeeze water from spinach, then transfer to a cutting board and cut into 2" slices. Transfer to a plate. Return liquid to a boil, add snow peas, and cook until just cooked through, about 1 minute. Drain and transfer to plate with spinach. Wipe out pot and reserve.
Bring sardine liquid to a simmer over medium-high heat. Using slotted spoon, discard sardines, then reduce heat to medium. Add chicken and simmer until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add mushrooms, tofu (if using), soy sauce, mirin, and remaining 3/4 tsp. salt. Cook, stirring, until mushrooms are tender, 3–5 minutes.
Meanwhile, cook udon in reserved pot 2 minutes less than package directions.
Bring chicken mixture to a simmer. Drain noodles and add immediately to pot. Add spinach, snow peas, scallions, and fish cake (if using), arranging each into sections and leaving an opening for egg.
Gently beat eggs in a small bowl with a whisk or chopsticks. Pour into broth and cook until just set, about 2 minutes.
Serve soup immediately in pot tableside, portioning into individual bowls.
Figs-in-a-Blanket with Goat Cheese

Arrange racks in upper and lower thirds of oven; preheat to 400°F. Line 2 rimmed baking sheets with parchment paper.
Stir vinegar, honey, red pepper flakes, salt, pepper, and 1 cup water in a medium pot. Add figs and bring to a boil. Reduce heat, bring to a simmer, and cook, stirring occasionally, until figs are softened and liquid has almost evaporated and is a syrupy consistency, 7–10 minutes. Transfer figs to a plate; let cool.
Beat egg with 1 Tbsp. water in a small bowl. If using a 14-ounce package with 1 sheet of pastry, roll pastry to an 18x12" rectangle on a lightly floured surface. If using a 17-ounce package with 2 sheets of pastry, roll each sheet to a 12x9" rectangle. Cut pastry along the 12" side into 12 (1-inch-wide) strips. Cut each strip crosswise into pieces about 4 1/2" long. You should have 48 (4 1/2x1") strips pastry.
Scoop a heaping 1/2 tsp. cheese and press into cut side of 1 fig half. Place fig half in the center of 1 pastry strip. Brush 1 end of pastry with egg wash and roll to enclose. Transfer seam side down to prepared sheet. Repeat with remaining cheese, figs, and pastry. Brush top of each pastry with egg wash and sprinkle with seeds, if using. Bake pastries, rotating and switching sheets top to bottom halfway through, until golden brown and puffed, 15–18 minutes.
Figs can be cooked 2 days ahead; cover and chill.

Soy Sauce Chicken

Ingredients:
1 (3 1/4-lb/1.5-kg) whole chicken
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
2 cups (16 fl oz/475 ml) vegetable oil
1/2 cup (4 fl oz/120 ml) light soy sauce
4 oz/120 g rock sugar
2 star anise
3/4 oz/20 g ginger (about 1-inch/2.5-cm-length piece), sliced
Steamed rice
to serve

Instructions:
Air-dry the chicken in the refrigerator for 30 minutes. Rub the dark soy sauce all over the chicken and air-dry for another hour.
Heat the oil in a wok or large saucepan to 300°F/150°C, or until a cube of bread browns in 1 1/2 minutes. Carefully add the chicken and use a slotted spoon to gently roll it in the hot oil for 3–4 minutes until the skin is golden. Carefully remove the chicken from the oil and drain in a colander.
Pour out most of the oil, leaving about 2 tablespoons in the wok. Add the light soy sauce, rock sugar, star anise, ginger, and 3 cups (25 fl oz/ 750 ml) water. Bring to a boil over high heat, reduce to low heat, and simmer. Put the chicken, breast side down, into the wok and cook for 18 minutes, basting with the sauce as it cooks. Turn the chicken over, cook for another 18 minutes, and baste occasionally. Turn chicken again with the breast facing down and cook for another 5 minutes, or until cooked through.
Carefully transfer the chicken to a colander to drain and set aside to cool. Cut into pieces.
Heat the sauce in the wok over high heat and boil for 3–4 minutes until reduced to 1/2 cup (4 fl oz/ 120 ml). Pour the sauce over the chicken, then serve with rice.
Shrimp Poached in Coconut Milk With Fresh Herbs (Yerra Moolee)

Ingredients:
2 pounds shrimp, preferably large to medium (about 28–32 shrimp per pound)
7 tablespoons light vegetable oil
2 cups finely chopped onions
2 teaspoons minced garlic
1 1/2 tablespoons ground or crushed fresh ginger root
2 green chilies, or more, to taste, seeded and minced
1/4 teaspoon turmeric
2 tablespoons ground coriander
3 cups coconut milk
1 1/2 teaspoons Kosher salt
2 tablespoons minced fresh cilantro (or substitute 1 tablespoon dry cilantro leaves)

Instructions:
Shell and devein shrimp. Wash them thoroughly, and set aside.
Heat the oil in a large heavy-bottomed pan, and add onions. Over high heat, fry the onions until they turn golden brown (about 10 minutes) , stirring constantly to prevent burning. Reduce heat to medium, add garlic, ginger, and chilies, and fry for an additional 2 minutes. Add turmeric and coriander, stir rapidly for 15 seconds, and add coconut milk and salt. Cook the sauce, uncovered, until it thickens (about 10 minutes). Stir frequently to ensure that the sauce does not stick and burn.
Add shrimp, mix, reduce heat to medium-low, and simmer, covered, for 5–7 minutes, or until the shrimp is cooked through. Do not overcook the shrimp, or they will become tough and chewy. Check for salt, stir in minced cilantro leaves, and serve.
Cumin-Scented Potatoes With Tomatoes (Ghurma Aloo)

Ingredients:
1 1/2 pounds russet or Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, and submerged in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning
2 tablespoons canola oil
1 tablespoon cumin seeds
1 small red onion, cut in half lengthwise and then into 1/2-inch cubes
1 teaspoon ground turmeric
2 teaspoons coarse kosher or sea salt
1 teaspoon cayenne (ground red pepper)
1 medium-size tomato, cored and cut into 1-inch cubes
2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro leaves and tender stems

Instructions:
Drain the potatoes and pat them dry.
Heat the oil in a medium-size saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the cumin seeds and cook until they sizzle, turn reddish brown, and are fragrant, 5 to 10 seconds. Add the potatoes, onion, and turmeric, and stir-fry until the potatoes and onion are lightly browned around the edges, 4 to 6 minutes.
Sprinkle in the salt and cayenne, and stir once or twice. Pour in 1 cup water and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pan, and cook, stirring occasionally, until the potatoes are almost fall-apart tender, 18 to 20 minutes.
Stir in the tomato and cilantro, and cover the pan. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the tomato is warmed through, about 2 minutes. Then serve.
Paneer and Broccoli Masala

Ingredients:
2 tbsp vegetable oil, plus extra if needed
1 pack paneer, around 8 oz, cut into large bite-size pieces
20 fresh curry leaves (optional)
2 tsp black mustard seeds
1 tsp cumin seeds
1 tsp ground turmeric
1 onion, finely diced
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 tbsp peeled and finely chopped fresh ginger
2 fresh red chiles, 1 finely sliced, 1 slit down the middle but left whole

2 tsp ground coriander
1 3/4 cups coconut milk
4 oz (about 1 3/4 cups) broccoli florets
1 tbsp tamarind paste, or to taste
Sea salt, to taste
Sugar, to taste
Small handful of cilantro
to garnish

Instructions:
Gently heat the oil in a saucepan and fry the paneer until it’s golden brown on all sides. Remove from the pan and set aside for later.
Throw the curry leaves (if using) into the pan to crisp up. Take them out and reserve for sprinkling over at the end.
Add a little more oil to the pan if you need to and toss in the mustard and cumin seeds. Once they start sizzling, stir in the turmeric and onion. Allow to soften for a few minutes before stirring in the garlic, ginger and chiles. After a further minute, stir in the tomato paste, garam masala and coriander.
Add a splash of water to the pan and pour in the coconut milk. Bring to a simmer and toss in the broccoli and fried paneer. Stir through the tamarind and simmer for 5 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning with salt and sugar. Garnish with the crispy curry leaves and the fresh cilantro before serving with some steamed basmati to mop up the sauce.
Miso-Tahini Squash Soup with Brown Rice

Ingredients:
1 1/2 cups short-grain brown rice
2 tablespoons virgin coconut oil, melted, divided
1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more
1 (1 1/2") piece ginger, peeled, finely grated
4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
5 cups homemade or store-bought low-sodium vegetable broth
1 small kabocha squash (about 2 pounds), peeled, cut into 1/2" chunks, or 1 small butternut squash (about 2 pounds), peeled, cut into 1/2" chunks
1 1/2 cups thinly sliced Tuscan kale
5 tablespoons white miso paste
1/4 cup tahini
1 tablespoon sesame oil
2 scallions, white and pale-green parts only, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
Toasted nori and hot chili oil (for serving; optional)

Instructions:
Mix rice, 1 Tbsp. coconut oil, a pinch of salt, and 5 cups water in a medium heavy saucepan. Cover and bring to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer until rice is al dente, about 25 minutes. Drain; set aside.
Meanwhile, heat remaining 1 Tbsp. coconut oil in a large pot over medium. Add ginger and garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until fragrant and just starting to brown, about 1 minute. Add broth, scraping the bottom of the pot with a wooden spoon to release garlic mixture, and bring to a simmer. Add squash and simmer 8 minutes. Add kale and cook, stirring, until vegetables are cooked through, 3–5 minutes.
Whisk miso, tahini, sesame oil, and 1 tsp. salt in a medium bowl. Add 1/2 cup hot water and whisk until very smooth. When vegetables are cooked through, remove pot from heat and gently stir in tahini mixture (overheating tahini will cause it to separate). Season to taste, then immediately divide among bowls with brown rice. Top with scallions, sesame seeds, nori, and chili oil.
Soup can be made 2 days ahead; chill in a resealable container. Reheat gently over low to avoid tahini from separating.

Heat 2 Tbsp. oil in a large skillet over medium; cook shallot until just softened and golden, about 2 minutes. Add tomatoes with their juices, 1/4 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper, and 1/4 cup water. Increase heat to high, bring to a boil, and cook until sauce thickens slightly, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to low, add beans and 1/4 cup Roasted Garlic Herb Sauce, and cook, stirring, until warmed through, 1–2 minutes. Taste and adjust salt if needed, then divide bean mixture between 2 large, shallow bowls.
Wipe out skillet. Heat remaining 1 Tbsp. oil in skillet over medium-high. Add shrimp and remaining 1/4 tsp. salt and 1/4 tsp. pepper.

Japanese-Style Curry (Karei Raisu)

Ingredients:
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced into half moons
1 pound boneless fatty beef (such as chuck, short rib, or belly), cut into 3/4-inch pieces
1/2 pound carrots (about 2 medium), peeled and roughly chopped into irregular 3/4-inch pieces
1/2 pound russet potato (about 1 small), peeled and roughly chopped into irregular 3/4-inch pieces
5 ounces medium-hot Vermont Curry (7 pieces; see Note)
1 teaspoon kosher salt
6 cups cooked short- grain white rice
hot

Instructions:
Heat the butter and oil in a medium pot over medium-high heat until the butter melts and bubbles. Add the onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until it’s translucent and slightly wilted, about 5 minutes. Add the beef and cook, stirring occasionally, just until the pieces are no longer pink on the outside, about 5 minutes.
Add potatoes and carrots, stir well, and add 7 cups of water. Bring the water to a boil over high heat, skim off any froth that appears on the surface, then reduce the heat to maintain a strong simmer. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the beef is very tender, about 1 hour. Add the curry paste and salt and continue cooking, stirring and scraping the bottom frequently, for 15 minutes more. To store, cool to room temperature and keep in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Divide the rice among shallow bowls, spoon on the curry, and serve immediately.
Double Chocolate Cupcakes With Salted Chia Pudding Frosting

Ingredients:
1 (14-ounce) can full-fat coconut milk
5 Medjool dates, pitted and chopped
1/4–1/2 teaspoon of sea salt
5 tablespoons chia seeds
1 cup unsweetened almond milk
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon flax meal
3 tablespoons water
1 cup chickpea (garbanzo bean) flour
1/2 cup brown rice flour
1/4 cup cocoa powder
1 teaspoon aluminum-free baking powder
1/2 teaspoon baking soda
1/2 teaspoon sea salt
2 teaspoons vanilla extract
1/4 cup real maple syrup
1/4 cup coconut oil, melted
1 cup dairy-free chocolate chips (I like Enjoy Life)
plus more for garnish

Instructions:
Combine the coconut milk, dates, and salt in a blender and blend until the mixture is smooth. This might take a few minutes. If end up with small bits of dates, that's OK. But you don't want to see chunks or even white slivers of the coconut milk. The color should be a very light tan. Taste, and if you want to add more salt, do it now and then blend for a few more seconds (I really like the saltiness a teaspoon brings). Pour the mixture into a medium jar or container with a lid. Stir in the chia seeds. Put the frosting in the fridge, covered, for at least 6 hours (overnight is best).
Preheat the oven to 350ºF. Line a standard cupcake pan with 12 paper liners.
In a small bowl, combine the almond milk and apple cider vinegar. In another small bowl, make a flax egg: Mix the flax meal and water together. Let both the almond milk mixture and the flax egg rest for at least 10 minutes.
In a large bowl, whisk together the flours, cocoa powder, baking powder, baking soda, and salt.
Combine the vanilla, maple syrup, flax egg, and almond milk mixture in a bowl. Add the wet ingredients into the dry and stir to combine. Do not overstir. Pour in the coconut oil and chocolate chips and give it a few more stirs, until just combined.
Fill each cupcake liner with 1/4 cup of the batter. Bake for 18 to 20 minutes or until a fork or toothpick inserted in the center comes out clean.
Let your cupcakes cool on a wire rack if you have one. When they're completely cool, top them with the frosting. Sprinkle a few more chocolate chips on top.
Za'atar Sweet Potatoes and Garlicky Kale

Ingredients:
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
1 tablespoon sumac
2 teaspoons dried thyme
1/4 teaspoon sea salt
2 medium-size sweet potatoes, cut into cubes (about 4 cups)
Olive oil
3 garlic cloves, chopped
1 bunch kale, destemmed and roughly chopped (about 6 cups)
Sea salt

Instructions:
Preheat the oven to 400ºF and line a baking tray with parchment paper.
To make the za'atar, first toast the sesame seeds. In a small dry pan, heat the seeds over medium for 3 to 5 minutes, until they're lightly browned. Stir occasionally, so they don't burn. Let them cool. In a small bowl, combine the sumac, thyme, sesame seeds, and salt.
Fill a medium pot halfway with water and bring it to a boil. Add the sweet potatoes and parboil them (cook them just until they start to soften). This will take 5 to 7 minutes. Drain the potatoes and transfer them to a medium bowl. Toss them with a glug of olive oil and 1 tablespoon of the za'atar seasoning until coated.
Spread the potatoes on the prepared baking sheet and roast them for 10 minutes. Using a spatula, move them around on the baking sheet and continue roasting for another 5 minutes or until they begin to slightly brown.
Mix 1 tablespoon of olive oil into the remaining za'atar and set it aside.
In a large skillet, heat a glug of olive oil over medium. When the pan is hot, add the garlic. Sauté until the garlic becomes fragrant, about a minute. Add the greens and stir until they turn bright green and begin to soften. Add the sweet potatoes and heat everything for a few more minutes.
Top the vegetables with some of the za'atar and oil mixture and serve.
