Tahini-Crusted Roasted Cauliflower with Sichuan Sauce

November 23, 2019 by Kristin Satterlee Leave a Comment

Ichuan cauliflower with rice, spinach, and red pepper

So the next week I brought home another head of cauliflower and got to work. With both Milk Street’s tahini-raosted cauliflower recipe and Fuchsia Dunlop’s recipe for the amazingly delicious “Xie Laoban’s Dan Dan Noodles” in front of me, I set about moving the flavors of the latter into the technique of the former.

Easy Creamy Chicken Curry Rice Bowl

August 30, 2016 by Kristin Satterlee Leave a Comment

This delicious recipe is one that I’ve been making so long (and that is so easy) I could almost do it in my sleep. It’s perfect weeknight fare: By far the most challenging part is picking the meat off the rotisserie chicken you grabbed at the store on the way home. Or maybe stopping at…

Japchae (Korean Glass Noodles)

May 12, 2016 by Kristin Satterlee Leave a Comment

As I have mentioned before, I absolutely love Korean food. It’s famous for its heat and funk, but it has a deliciously sweet and mild side too. No dish exemplifies this side better than Japchae, stir-fried glass noodles.

Homemade Moo Shu Pancakes

March 10, 2016 by Kristin Satterlee 15 Comments

I don’t eat Moo Shu Pork – or vegetables, or chicken – very often anymore. Which is a shame, because Moo Shu is a tremendously fun thing to eat. We just so rarely eat out anymore at the kind of Chinese restaurant that serves it. (Chinese restaurants of any stripe are not the most common…

Japanese Fried Rice Omelet (Omurice)

November 5, 2015 by Kristin Satterlee Leave a Comment

When I pulled out my copy of Lucky Peach’s 101 Asian Recipes the other night, I intended to make the Malaysian “Economy Noodles” as I said I would at the end of my cookbook review. However, I ran into a problem: My enormous tub of Asian noodles (I have a similar one of European-style pasta)…

Homemade Thai Yellow Curry Paste, plus Chicken or Tofu in Yellow Curry

May 12, 2015 by Kristin Satterlee Leave a Comment

My friend Michelena makes incredible Mexican mole, from scratch. Friends beg her for jars of the thick, luscious sauce. (Well, I did, anyway.) The process takes her two days.

Sichuan Hot-and-Numbing (Ma La) Chile Oil

April 29, 2015 by Kristin Satterlee Leave a Comment

Until the last decade, the classic Sichuan flavor combination ma la (numbing and hot) was hard to come by in the United States. Sichuan peppercorns, the only common source of the numbing, tingly sensation called ma in Chinese, were banned from import to the US because they could transmit a kind of citrus canker. Fortunately,…

Salmon Rice Bowl with Soy-Wasabi Sauce (Sake-Don)

April 10, 2015 by Kristin Satterlee 5 Comments

My recent obsession with Kokoro Japanese Restaurant finally bled over into my own kitchen. I wanted more Japanese food, but I wanted it to be as quick and simple as it was delicious. Paging through my copy of Japanese Soul Cooking, I saw a gorgeous picture of a bowl of vibrant red tuna slices brushed…

Spam Ramen, or Rescuing a Terrible Recipe

November 5, 2014 by Kristin Satterlee 2 Comments

Cooking has been my passion since college. For more than twenty years I’ve spent a huge amount of my time reading cookbooks, trying recipes, learning methods, combining ingredients. I’ve gotten good at tasting “in my head,” having a pretty good idea of what a recipe will taste like before I try it. Usually I can…
