Ingredients
SAUCE
  • 1 cup water (240 mL)
  • ½ cup soy sauce (120 mL)
  • ¼ cup sesame oil (60 mL)
  • 6 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
  • ¼ cup brown sugar (55 g)
  • 2 tablespoons sriracha
  • ¼ cup rice wine vinegar (60 mL)
  • ⅓ cup scallions, sliced (35 g)
WRAPS
  • 14 oz tofu, 1 package (395 g)
  • 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  • 1 medium yellow onion, diced
  • 2 ½ cups mushroom, chopped, such as shiitake (185 g)
  • 1 tablespoon garlic, minced
  • 8 oz water chestnuts, 1 can, sliced, drained and finely chopped (225 g)
  • ⅓ cup scallions, sliced (50 g)
  • ½ cup canola oil (120 mL)
  • 7 oz rice noodle (200 g)
  • 1 head iceberg lettuce
Instructions
  1. Remove the tofu from its packaging and drain. Wrap tofu in a kitchen towel and find a heavy object to place on top of tofu, leave it there for 10-20 minutes, until tofu feels more tender.
  2. Make the sauce: In a medium bowl, combine the water, soy sauce, sesame oil, garlic, ginger, sriracha, brown sugar, rice wine vinegar, and scallions, and stir. Set ½ cup (120 ml) of the sauce aside.
  3. Crumble the tofu into the marinade, cover, and refrigerate for 1 hour.
  4. In a medium wok or skillet over medium heat, add the sesame oil and onion, and cook 3 minutes, until onions are translucent. Add the mushrooms and garlic and cook for about 5 minutes, or until the mushrooms are tender.
  5. Add the marinated tofu to the pan and cook until the majority of marinade cooks off. Add the water chestnuts and scallions. Pour in the reserved sauce. Toss to coat and cook until just heated through. Transfer the tofu mixture to a medium bowl.
  6. Heat the canola oil in the same pan over high heat until a drop of water sizzles when flicked onto the oil. Fry the rice noodles for about 30 seconds, until puffed up. Transfer the fried noodles to paper towels to drain.
  7. Slice the core off the head of lettuce and separate into individual leaves.
  8. Serve with leaves of lettuce, rice noodles, and drizzle remaining sauce over top.
  9. Enjoy!

Crispy Peppercorn Chicken Wings

Crispy Peppercorn Chicken Wings
These super-flavorful, no-fry chicken wings turn out best when they’re seasoned ahead of time. You can do this as little as 1 hour in advance, but letting them hang out with salt and those spices overnight is a complete game changer.
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Main dish
Ingredients
  • 2 tablespoons black peppercorns
  • 2 tablespoons Diamond Crystal or 1 tablespoon Morton kosher salt
  • 1 tablespoon ground coriander
  • 1 tablespoon ground cumin
  • 1½ teaspoons garam masala or Chinese five-spice powder
  • ½ teaspoon baking soda
  • ½ teaspoon sugar
  • 3 pounds chicken wings, flats and drumettes separated, patted dry with paper towels
  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 scallions
  • 1 lime
Instructions
  1. Place peppercorns in the center of a large rimmed baking sheet. Crush peppercorns with bottom of a saucepan, working a few peppercorns at a time and pressing down firmly until you can hear and feel the crunch of peppercorns breaking apart. Transfer to a large bowl.
  2. Cover sheet you just used with a double layer of foil; set aside.
  3. Add salt, coriander, cumin, garam masala, baking soda, and sugar to bowl with peppercorns and mix with your hands to make sure all spices are intermingled.
  4. Add chicken wings and oil and toss with your hands until wings are evenly coated.
  5. Arrange wings on prepared sheet, spacing evenly apart. Chill, uncovered, at least 1 hour and up to 1 day.
  6. Remove wings from refrigerator and let sit until they’ve lost the chill of the fridge and are as close to room temperature as possible, at least 15 minutes. Meanwhile, place racks in the top third and center of oven; preheat to 425°. You’re going to bake and then broil the wings so they get extra crispy. If your broiler is in a drawer beneath your oven, ignore the part about the top rack.
  7. Bake wings on center rack, removing sheet halfway through and turning wings over with a pair of tongs, until browned and crisp in spots and cooked through, 30–40 minutes.
  8. Remove baking sheet from oven and turn on broiler; let heat at least 5 minutes. Broil wings on top rack (or in drawer) until browned and crisp all over and nubs on ends of drumettes are just a little charred, 3–4 minutes. Remove from oven and turn wings again.
  9. Broil until second side looks as crisp and lightly charred as the first, about 3 minutes. Let rest about 5 minutes.
  10. While the wings are resting, thinly slice scallions and cut lime into wedges.
  11. Arrange wings on a platter and scatter scallions over. Serve with lime wedges alongside.

Cheddar-Crusted & Bacon Broccoli Quiche
Cheddar-Crusted & Bacon Broccoli Quiche
Author:
Cuisine: American
Recipe type: Main dish
Ingredients
  • 2 ½ cups shredded cheddar cheese, divided (250 g)
  • 1 cup unsalted butter, 2 sticks, room temperature (230 g)
  • 2 cups all-purpose flour, plus more for dusting (250 g)
  • 1 tablespoon paprika
  • 1 tablespoon garlic powder
  • 2 ½ teaspoons salt, divided
  • 5 tablespoons ice water
  • 4 strips bacon
  • 2 cups small broccoli floret (300 g)
  • 6 large eggs
  • 1 cup milk (240 mL)
  • ½ teaspoon pepper
SPECIAL EQUIPMENT
  • pie weights, coffee beans, or dried beans
Instructions
  1. Preheat the oven to 350˚F (180˚C).
  2. Add 2 cups (200 g) of cheddar cheese and the butter to a large bowl. Mix to combine with an electric hand mixer or stand mixer.
  3. Add the flour, paprika, garlic powder, and 2 teaspoons salt and mix well. Add 3 tablespoons of ice water and mix. Add the remaining ice water 1 tablespoon at a time. The dough should hold together when pinched, but crumble apart if you break it up in your hand. If it seems too dry, add a bit more ice water.
  4. Transfer the dough to a clean surface and knead with your hands until it comes together. Shape the dough into a disc, then wrap in plastic wrap and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes.
  5. Lightly flour a clean surface and roll out the dough into a circle about ⅛ inch (8 mm) thick. Carefully transfer the crust to a 9½-inch (24-cm) glass pie dish.
  6. Trim the edges (save the trimmings to make crackers!). Poke holes in the bottom of the crust with a fork, then use the tines to crimp the edges. Line the dough with parchment paper and fill with pie weights.
  7. Bake for 30 minutes, until the edges are crisp.
  8. While the crust is baking, prepare the fillings. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, cook the bacon until crisp, 5-7 minutes. Using tongs, remove the bacon from the skillet and let drain on paper towels until cool enough to handle.
  9. Add the broccoli to the skillet and cook until lightly browned, about 5 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat.
  10. Chop the bacon.
  11. Remove the pie weights from the crust, then add the broccoli and chopped bacon to the center. Sprinkle with the remaining shredded cheddar cheese.
  12. In a medium bowl, lightly beat the eggs. Add the milk, remaining ½ teaspoon salt, and the pepper. Whisk to combine.
  13. Pour the egg mixture over the fillings in the crust.
  14. Bake for 35-40 minutes, or until the eggs are set and the top is lightly browned. Cover the edges with tinfoil if they are starting to burn.
  15. Let the quiche cool for 15 minutes before slicing and serving.
  16. Enjoy!
