Lolah's Chicken Adobo

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

"My Filipino Mom taught me how to make this traditional dish following the recipe her mother taught her," says foodelicious. "And though I've made a couple of changes, I guarantee they're Mom-approved. 'Lolah' is 'Grandma' in the Philippines, in case you were wondering. Serve over steamed rice."

Slow Cooker Carolina BBQ

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

"Miss the tarheel tradition of a pig pickin'? Then find yourself a crockpot, a big pork shoulder, some cider vinegar, and get cooking!" says coolmonkshoes. "While ground and crushed red pepper will provide the basic heat -- go the extra mile and find some Texas Pete (or Trappey's) pepper sauce to bring the taste of Carolina to your kitchen."

Sweet Korean Crispy Chicken

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Crispy-crunchy chicken pieces are double deep fried and served in a sweet, tangy, and spicy sauce, topped with crunchy peanuts. "This sauce is really excellent," says Tracy T. "I have tried other sauces, but the balance of flavors in this combination seems just right. Don't be afraid of the chili paste. It is warm but flavorful."

Chef John's Cincinnati-Style Chili

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

"You'll love this chili if you tend to like foods from the Middle East, the Mediterranean, Greek food, or Indian food, because of the spices and flavor profile," says Chef John. "If you finish this dish off with some diced onions and grated Cheddar cheese like I did, you'll be enjoying what they call in Cincinnati a 'Four-Way,' because of the four components, but feel free to serve as you like."

Grandma Nena's Lumpia and Pancit

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

"This is my grandma's lumpia and pancit that she has been making since before the family moved to the U.S. when my dad was a child," says LANIBIRD. "She serves her lumpia with a garlic and vinegar dipping sauce. It's very pungent, but oh so tasty. You can make a large batch of the lumpia and freeze it, so you can fry up some when ever you crave it! Spring roll wrappers are the best to use, they are thinner and lighter than egg roll wrappers."
