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

Crispy Parmesan Cauliflower Steaks with Creamy Miso Sauce
Vegetables · 20 min

Crispy Parmesan Cauliflower Steaks with Creamy Miso Sauce

A cauliflower steak with a shatter-crispy parmesan crust and a soft, creamy middle, served with a cool miso lemon cream sauce. The secret is a quick microwave par-cook, then a mayo-glued panko and parmesan crust that fries up golden. Serves 2 to 3, plus florets.

Korean BBQ Short Ribs (Galbi)
Mains · 15 min

Korean BBQ Short Ribs (Galbi)

LA-style galbi with a blended marinade, done two ways: the sweet-savory classic and a spicy gochujang version. Kiwi tenderizes in minutes, Coke gives the glossy char, and it grills in about two minutes a side.

Watermelon Milkshake
Watermelon

Watermelon Milkshake

Frozen watermelon blended with a little cream and condensed milk into a shake that tastes like summer. Fruity, creamy, and stupid easy, four ingredients and a blender.

High-Protein Ranch
Ranch

High-Protein Ranch

Just about 40 calories a serving, this creamy ranch has a fraction of the fat and triple the protein of the store-bought stuff, and it still tastes like the real thing. It is blended from cottage cheese instead of mayo.

BBQ · 45 min

Foolproof: Hot Dogs & Sausages

Four cookout-stealing dogs done right: a Chicago dog, a coney chili dog, an elote dog, and a beer-poached brat. The snap, the sauces, and the one safety rule.

Foolproof: BBQ Chicken

Juicy, crispy dark-meat barbecue chicken, three ways. A baking soda brine for the juiciest meat, cooked hot for crackly skin, and three killer sauces.

Foolproof: Burger
Burgers · 30 min

Foolproof: Burger

Three burgers, one set of rules. A crispy smash with grilled onions, a thick pub burger cooked pink, and a molten juicy lucy, with the science in the tips.

Foolproof: Smoked Pulled Pork
BBQ · 660 min

Foolproof: Smoked Pulled Pork

The most forgiving barbecue you can make. One cheap cut feeds a crowd, you cook it to feel, and a half cup of tallow takes it to restaurant-level.

Foolproof: Crispy Chicken Wings
BBQ · 75 min

Foolproof: Crispy Chicken Wings

America's favorite game-day food, backed by science. One number, one secret ingredient, and three ways to cook them so they come out crispy and juicy every time.

Foolproof: Smoked Brisket

Corn Cooked in the Husk (3 Ways)
Sides

Corn Cooked in the Husk (3 Ways)

Three ways to cook corn in its own husk so it steams in its own juice and stays sweet and tender. Microwave it in minutes, roast it hands-off in the oven, or grill it for char. Finish it elote style with butter, chili, cotija, and lime.

Kung Pao Chicken
Chicken · 8 min

Kung Pao Chicken

Glossy, sweet-savory takeout-style Kung Pao chicken with blistered dried chilies, crunchy peppers, and roasted peanuts. The velveting trick keeps the chicken silky and tender every single time.
