Asian Food Recipes.

I've been cooking Asian food my whole life. Born in a Korean household, raised eating Chinese and Japanese, cooking in Seattle kitchens for twenty years. These are the recipes I actually make at home on weeknights. No fluff, no shortcuts that ruin the dish.

Start with: Chili Crispy Pork Noodles, Lazy Pad See Ew, Viet-Style Crispy Pork Noodles

The Honey Crunch Chicken Salad

Caramelized Onions
Basics · 25 min

Caramelized Onions

Deeply browned, jammy caramelized onions with under 30 minutes of cook time, instead of the hour-plus that standard recipes take. A microwave-first trick does the heavy lifting.

Pickles · 15 min

Costco Chicken at Home
