Recipe: Sweet and Sour Pork
This sweet and sour pork recipe is adapted from Phoenix Claws and Jade Trees, a Chinese cookbook organized by cooking method (in this case, velveting and deep frying). I’ve added some of my favorite ingredients from takeout food to what … Continue reading
Recipe: Sichuan Eggplant with Garlic
Here’s the Sichuan Eggplant with Garlic recipe I used for my Douban Jiang taste test. It’s adapted from a similar prep on the Steamy Kitchen blog. Serves 4 as a main dish, 6 as a side. Ingredients: 2 lbs Asian eggplant … Continue reading

When windfall apples are all over your yard and you have a gallon of maple syrup in the pantry, you make Maple Apple Butter. The long caramelization plus the mystery spice (it’s cardamon) produce a grown-up cousin to applesauce. Spread … Continue reading

Recipe: No-No Caesar Dressing
Awhile back we took on the challenge of getting rid of the egg in caesar dressing to make it safe on long picnic days. Now we’re going further and getting rid of the anchovies for those who hate our favorite … Continue reading
Recipe: Halal Guys White Sauce
After all the speculation (and intentional misdirection) Halal Guys White Sauce proved surprisingly easy to copycat. It’s just mayonnaise with a bit of extra tartness and ground black pepper. Makes 1 cup. Ingredients: 1 c mayonnaise (I use Hellman’s/Best Foods) … Continue reading
