Pork

Red Cooked Pork (Hong Shao Rou)

This takes some time, but is well worth it. You can serve this as-is with rice, but I like to then stir fry it over high heat to re-crisp it. Add some fresh cabbage or spinach, scallions, and red bell pepper (the crunchy vegetables are a nice contrast to the fatty pork).

Spicy Meatball Bahn Mi

This hot sandwich comes together quickly and makes a satisfying, summery weeknight supper.

Tacos al Pastor

These delicious tacos have an interesting history — the product of Lebanese migration into Latin America in the 19th century, it’s essentially shawarma gone to ground in Mexico.
