Lemongrass Chicken
http://www.foodandwine.com/recipes/lemongrass-chicken-october-2007
Chef Way Eric and Sophie Banh marinate the chicken in a mixture of curry and fish sauce for up to 2 hours before stir-frying.
Easy Way A five-minute marinade allows the curry flavor to develop quickly.
Ingredients
2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
3 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tablespoon mild curry powder
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
2 tablespoons plus 1 1/2 teaspoons sugar
1 1/2 pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into 1 1/2-inch pieces
3 tablespoons water
3 tablespoons canola oil
2 fresh lemongrass stalks, tender inner white bulbs only, minced
1 large shallot, thinly sliced
3 serrano chiles, seeded and minced
5 cilantro sprigs
Steamed rice, for serving
Directions
In a bowl, combine the fish sauce, garlic, curry powder, salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons of the sugar. Add the chicken to coat.
In a small skillet, mix the remaining 2 tablespoons of sugar with 1 tablespoon of the water and cook over high heat, stirring, until the sugar is dissolved. Cook without stirring until a deep amber caramel forms, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons of water. Transfer to a very small heatproof bowl.
Heat a wok over high heat. Add the oil and heat until shimmering. Add the lemongrass, shallot and chiles and stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the chicken and caramel and stir-fry over moderate heat until the chicken is cooked through and the sauce is slightly thickened, about 8 minutes. Transfer to a bowl and top with the cilantro. Serve with rice.

Ramen
http://www.japanesecooking101.com/ramen-recipe/
3-4 servings
Ingredients
Salted pork
1 lb pork
1 tsp salt
Soup
6 cups water (1.5L)
50g ginger root
3 cloves garlic
1 bunch green onions
4 Tbsp soy sauce
2 Tbsp sake
1 tsp salt
1 tsp sesame oil
Noodles
9 oz fresh angel hair pasta (225g)
8 cups water (2L)
2 Tbsp baking soda
Topping
boiled egg halves
bean sprouts, blanched briefly
green onions, cut finely
Instructions
Rub salt on pork and let it sit overnight in the fridge.
In a pot, put water, ginger root, garlic green onions and salted pork, and boil at high heat. Skim fat and other floating scums. Then cover, reduce to low heat, and simmer for 1 1/2 to 2 hours. Let the broth and pork cool completely in pot. Strain and save pork. Slice pork and set aside for a topping.
Prepare the rest of the toppings now as well (boiled eggs, blanched bean sprouts, cut green onions), before making the soup and noodles. Once the noodles are cooked, you will need to add the soup and toppings right away or the noodles will get soft, so you won't have time to prepare the toppings at the end.
Boil the broth and add soy sauce, sake, salt and sesame oil. Let it simmer at very low heat until noodles are ready.
In boiling water in a pot, add baking soda (be careful, it may boil over), then add the fresh angel hair pasta. Cook the pasta for 30 seconds, and strain. Immediately divide noodles into bowls and add soup onto noodles. Top with boiled eggs, bean sprouts, green onions and sliced pork.

Notes:
Center cut pork loin roast worked perfectly.
For dry pasta, let pasta cook for 4 minutes before adding baking soda. Add 2 minutes to suggested cooking time.

Sweet Potato Chili
http://allrecipes.com/recipe/sweet-potato-chili/
I used all ground turkey for this recipe and thought it turned out great (albeit, a bit drier). Really hearty and robust meal, and the sweet potato is a nice twist. I didn't cook for as long as the recipe indicated - maybe half an hour on the stove for the vegetables and spices, and then an hour once I added the meat. Still good.
Ingredients
2 sweet potatoes, diced
2 (14.5 ounce) cans diced stewed tomatoes with chili seasonings
1 (8 ounce) can tomato sauce
3/4 cup diced sweet onion
1/2 cup chopped celery
1/2 cup water
1 tablespoon chili powder
1 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 pinch salt
1 pinch ground black pepper
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1 pinch garlic powder
1 pinch onion powder
1/2 pound ground turkey
1/2 pound ground beef
1 (12 ounce) can black beans, drained and rinsed
1 cup corn
Directions
Place sweet potatoes, stewed tomatoes, tomato sauce, onion, celery, water, chili powder, cumin, cinnamon, salt, black pepper, cayenne pepper, garlic powder, and onion powder in a slow cooker. Cook on high, stirring occasionally, for 5 hours.
Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat and stir in ground turkey and ground beef. Cook and stir until meat is crumbly, evenly browned, and no longer pink, 10 to 15 minutes. Drain and discard any excess grease. Add cooked ground turkey, cooked ground beef, black beans, and corn to sweet potato mixture in the slow cooker; cook until flavors have blended, 1 to 2 more hours. Serve warm.

Vegetarian Borscht
http://www.seriouseats.com/recipes/2009/02/dinner-tonight-vegetarian-borscht-recipe.html
This recipe is SO good. However, I felt like it could use more liquid, so 8 cups of stock would be a better ratio. I used chicken broth instead of vegetable broth, apple cider vinegar instead of lemon, no sour cream or parsley, and a bunch of fennel stalks and a couple of bay leaves for extra flavor.
Original Recipe
1 pound beets (beetroot), peeled and cut into matchsticks
2 medium onions, sliced into half-moons
2 large carrots, peeled and cut into matchsticks
3/4 pound white cabbage, cut thinly into shreds
2 tablespoons olive oil
5 cups vegetable stock
Juice of 1/2 a lemon
Salt to taste
Coarsely ground black pepper
Sour cream (optional, omit for vegan soup)
Finely chopped parsley or chives (optional, for garnish)
Procedures
1
Peel and cut the onions, carrots, and beets (alternatively, shred the carrots and beets using the shredding blade of a food processor) and sauté over medium heat in the olive oil with a pinch of salt in a large soup pot. Reserve a small amount of beet to grate and add near the end to enliven the color.
2
In the meantime, bring the vegetable stock to a boil. When the vegetables are soft (about 5 minutes), add the shredded cabbage and the hot stock. Bring to a boil and simmer 15-25 minutes, until the vegetables are tender. With a few minutes left, add the reserved grated beet.
3
Season to taste with salt and pepper, then squeeze in the lemon juice, aiming for a pleasing but subtle sour taste. Serve with freshly grated black pepper, a dollop of sour cream, and chopped parsley, if desired.
