Mille-Feuille Nabe (Japanese Cabbage and Pork Hot Pot) with napa cabbage, pork belly and dashi — Japan recipe

Mille-Feuille Nabe (Japanese Cabbage and Pork Hot Pot)

Mille-feuille nabe borrows its name from the French pastry of a thousand leaves, but here the layers are napa cabbage and paper-thin pork belly, packed upright into a pot so the cut edges spiral outwards like a flower. A clear dashi broth is poured over and everything simmers for twenty minutes until the cabbage collapses into sweetness and the pork melts. It looks like far more work than it is, and the leftover broth makes the best bowl of udon you'll have all winter.

Dumpling Bake with Coconut Curry

The dumpling bake is a modern American shortcut that earned its reputation honestly: a coconut and red curry sauce whisked straight into the baking dish, a bag of frozen dumplings set into it, foil on top, and half an hour later a pan of tender dumplings sitting in a silky, spoonable broth. Nothing is fried, nothing is folded, and the dumplings absorb the curry as they steam. Finished with chili crisp and coriander, it tastes far more deliberate than the effort it takes.

Sichuan Kung Pao Chicken with chicken thighs, Chinkiang vinegar and dried red chillies — China recipe

Meat Dishes

Sichuan Kung Pao Chicken

Sichuan kung pao chicken is a fast stir-fry of tender chicken cubes, dried chillies and crisp peanuts. Chinkiang vinegar gives the thin glaze a dark, sharp edge, while Sichuan pepper leaves a brief citrusy tingle. It should taste lively rather than syrupy, with the peanuts added late enough to stay crisp.

Palak Paneer

Palak paneer pairs soft cubes of fresh cheese with a smooth North Indian spinach gravy. The sauce should taste green and gently spiced, not bitter or overloaded with cream; hot roti or cumin rice is all it needs.

Pork and Cabbage Dumplings (Chinese Jiaozi)

These northern Chinese jiaozi have thin, pleasantly chewy skins and a juicy pork filling threaded with sweet Napa cabbage. Salting and squeezing the cabbage keeps the filling moist without flooding the wrappers. Make them for Lunar New Year, or settle in for an unhurried weekend folding session.

Chicken Karaage with chicken, soy sauce and ginger — Japan recipe

🇯🇵JapanMedium

Meat Dishes

Chicken Karaage

Japan's much-loved fried chicken: bite-sized thigh pieces marinated in soy, ginger, garlic, and sake, dredged in potato starch, and double-fried to a pale, craggy, glass-crisp shell. The potato starch and the two-stage fry are what set it apart from any other fried chicken, and a squeeze of lemon at the table is all it needs.

Kürbissuppe (German Pumpkin Soup) with pumpkin, onion and garlic — Germany recipe

Soups

Kürbissuppe (German Pumpkin Soup)

Kürbissuppe is the pumpkin soup Germans cook from late September through November, built on Hokkaido squash, onion, ginger and a little cream. The Hokkaido goes into the pot unpeeled: its skin is thin, cooks away completely in twenty minutes and carries a good share of the colour and of the chestnut taste that separates this from a soup made with peeled butternut. The cubes are browned in butter first, otherwise the sweetness has nothing underneath it. It gets finished at the table with toasted seeds and a spoonful of dark green pumpkin seed oil.

Gyudon (Japanese Beef Rice Bowl) with beef, onion and dashi — Japan recipe

Gyudon (Japanese Beef Rice Bowl)

Gyudon (gyūdon, 牛丼, literally "beef bowl") is a Japanese rice bowl of thinly sliced beef and onion simmered in a sweet-savoury broth of dashi, soy sauce, mirin and a little sake. It's the dish fast-food chains like Yoshinoya built their business on, and it's just as good made at home. The onion goes in first until soft, the beef follows for a couple of minutes, then the whole lot goes over hot rice. The only thing that really matters is the beef: it has to be sliced almost transparently thin, which is why the freezer is your friend here.
