Chinese Wide Noodles with Barbecue Pork and Dried Mushrooms is a Chinese comfort-food favorite. This quick version of char siu pork amps up pork tenderloin with a marinade of sweet-salty hoisin sauce and aromatic five-spice powder. Then slivers of this meat meld with meaty wood ear mushrooms among chewy noodles bathed in a salty-sweet sauce.
I leave you with this creamy cheesy not-so-waistline friendly mashed potato casserole. Bacon, gouda, sour cream... I probably don't need to tell you that it's heavenly.
Note: I prefer using Carnaroli rice for its slightly longer grains and firmer texture. Feel free to use any risotto-style rice like Arborio or Vailone Nano. About the author: J. Kenji Lopez-Alt is the Chief Creative...
Mexican food was never a regular part of my life until Ben also became a regular. See, my family's choice restaurant and food was Italian as I was growing up.
This came from my mind when I was a student at The Culinary Institute of America. We had to create a menu item based on where we lived. Since I am from New England I created this burger with ingredients that you can find or originate in New England. This was a hit at both the CIA and at the restaurant I worked at. - Chef Jason
A perennial party favorite, cocktail sausages become extra special with a jerk-seasoned pineapple glaze. Make them as hot (or not) as you like with bottled hot pepper sauce.
