Sweet and Spicy Pork and Napa Cabbage Stir-Fry with Spicy Noodles

110

The Thai sweet chili sauce gives this dish a sweet and spicy flavor that my kids love. You can adjust the heat level by adding more or less of the sauce or adding additional red pepper flakes, if you like it really hot.

Korean Kimchi

My mother and I made this a tradition after our cousin taught us how to make it. This authentic dish is served over rice with every meal in Korea. This can be altered for a spicier version. Use a glass container and wax paper as this will discolor plastic and rust metal.

Traditional Kimchi

If you love authentic Korean cuisine, you'll want to try your hand at creating your own kimchi; it's not as complicated or time-consuming as you might think. Kimchi is a fermented dish, the more it ages the better it tastes, likewise with the sugar. Use a persimmon in place of the apple, if you prefer. If you want to serve it the very next day, don't refrigerate.

"Million Dollar" Chinese Cabbage Salad

This recipe is always a hit...with kids too! I used to call it my 'Million Dollar Salad' because buying the sesame seeds was so expensive. Now I buy the sesame seeds in bulk at a health food store and it's much more affordable.

Lion's Head Meatballs

People throw out the term "melt-in-your-mouth" pretty casually, but these meatballs really are. Some people think the name comes from their large size, while others believe eating these gives you the strength of a lion, but the actual answer is not quite as mythical. The look of this crinkled-up napa cabbage reminded the inventors of this dish of a lion's mane.

Stir-Fried Taiwanese Cabbage

Taiwanese cabbage is sweeter and more tender than normal white cabbage and cooks very quickly. It's the perfect side dish for so many entrees, and not just Asian.

Jicama, Carrot, and Green Apple Slaw

Flavorful take on an old bbq standby. Other seasonings can be added as well, depending on preference. I find that chili powder adds a nice kick. Serve right after tossing if you prefer a nice crunchy slaw or let marinade in the fridge for an hour before dishing up. Great with grilled veggies, Mexican style corn on the cob, and smoked chicken breast.

By SerenaBloom

Sauteed Napa Cabbage

This is a great way to prepare napa cabbage. It is sauteed with onion and spices like ginger, cumin, and parsley and flavored with sake.

Tangy Thai Cabbage Salad

I found a basic recipe for a Thai cabbage slaw, and I added a few tweaks of my own to give it a crunchier texture and a little more zip! It goes well with grilled meats and seafood on a hot day.

Cranberry Almond Crunch Slaw

Sour cream or plain yogurt replaces mayonnaise in a light creamy dressing for this updated take on traditional coleslaw.

Kimchi Corned Beef

Instead of the same old corned beef and cabbage recipe every year, try this new and exciting Korean twist on the St. Patrick's Day staple. The spicy fermented cabbage adds a lot of extra savoriness, not only to the meat, but even more so to the vegetables. The potatoes especially soak up a surprising amount of flavor, and may be my favorite part of the whole dish. Garnish with sliced green onions.

Meat Lovers' Vegan Potstickers

I'm a meateater, but my girlfriend is vegan, so I created this recipe as something we could enjoy together. Using a meat substitute and bold flavors, even the most carnivorous of your guests won't guess these pot stickers are meatless, let alone vegan.

Kale, Cabbage, and Brussels Sprout Salad

Hale and hearty, this kale salad is a powerhouse of nutrients that is very easy to eat! The salad bursts with the flavor of mandarin oranges, sweet and tart strawberries, and has a pleasant poppy seed dressing. When mangoes are in season, you can substitute them for the mandarin oranges or walnuts and pomegranates, toasted cashews or walnuts, and apples in the fall for different flavors. The possibilities are endless!

Japanese Udon Vegetable Soup

I love soup in those large authentic pho bowls (54 ounce). The key to any soup is the stock, and the beginning of any great soup is its base and what you like to do to doctor it up with. Making this soup is a lot easier than you probably think it's going to be. Once you have a broth, then most of the work is preparing the vegetables to be a garnish for your soup.

By James

Vegan Kimchi

I love kimchi but am not a big fan of those that use fish sauce. So after trying several kinds and spending over $10 a pint at our local farmers' markets, I came up with my own vegan version which costs less and is great to share with family and friends. After fermentation, it can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 6 months, and will get stronger and spicier as it sits. Mine never lasts that long!
