Breakfast Burrito with eggs, flour tortillas and potatoes — USA recipe

🇺🇸USAMedium

Breakfast and Brunch

Breakfast Burrito

Soft scrambled eggs, browned sausage, crispy potatoes, cheddar cheese, and salsa rolled into a flour tortilla and toasted in a pan until the outside crisps up. The technique is the same every time: cook the potatoes, then the sausage, and scramble the eggs in the fat the sausage leaves behind — it makes the eggs noticeably better. Assemble with restraint, not ambition. Overfilling is the main reason breakfast burritos fall apart. This recipe makes four solid, properly tight burritos and scales up cleanly for meal prep.

Bratwurst with fresh bratwurst, German lager and onion — Germany recipe

🇩🇪GermanyMedium

Meat Dishes

Bratwurst

Bratwurst is a German fresh pork sausage, grilled or pan-fried until the skin is deeply browned and the fat inside sizzles. The method here is the American beer brat from Wisconsin: simmer briefly in beer with onions first, then finish on a hot grill or cast-iron pan to build color and crispness. The beer bath cooks the sausages through gently and infuses flavor without the risk of splitting or drying out. Serve with German mustard, sauerkraut, and crusty bread. Bratwurst is street food, tavern food, market food — always eaten immediately, always hot.

Bún Bò Huế (Spicy Vietnamese Beef and Lemongrass Noodle Soup) with beef shank, lemongrass and mắm ruốc huế — Vietnam recipe

Soups

Bún Bò Huế (Spicy Vietnamese Beef and Lemongrass Noodle Soup)

Bún bò Huế is a fiery red Vietnamese noodle soup from the central city of Huế, the former imperial capital. The broth is built on a long simmer of beef shank, pork ribs, beef bones, lemongrass, charred aromatics, and pineapple, then finished with mắm ruốc (Huế-style fermented shrimp paste) and a separate annatto-lemongrass sate sauce that gives the soup its signature crimson colour and heat. Thick round rice noodles, sliced beef shank, and herbs (Thai basil, Vietnamese coriander, mung bean sprouts, banana blossom) finish the bowl. Compared to phở, bún bò Huế is bolder, spicier, and more aromatic — phở's louder cousin from central Vietnam. Active work 30 minutes, simmer 3.5 hours. Makes 8 generous bowls.

Okroshka with bread kvass, radishes and cucumbers — Russia recipe

🇷🇺RussiaMedium

Soups

Okroshka

Okroshka (окрошка, オクローシカ, 俄式冷汤) is a cold Russian summer soup: finely diced raw cucumber, radish, green onion and dill, boiled potatoes, eggs and beef or boiled sausage, in a tangy base of bread kvass. The name comes from the Russian verb for crumbling, which is the whole technique. It is served with sour cream and a little mustard. With ready-cooked beef or doctor's sausage it takes about 45 minutes; simmering the beef yourself adds about an hour. The chopped mix then needs an hour in the fridge, and all of that can be done the day before.

Banh Cuon (Vietnamese Steamed Rice Rolls) with rice flour, tapioca starch and ground pork — Vietnam recipe

🇻🇳VietnamAdvanced

Breakfast and Brunch

Banh Cuon (Vietnamese Steamed Rice Rolls)

Banh cuon are the silkiest thing in Vietnamese cooking — sheets of rice batter steamed paper-thin, so soft they're almost translucent, wrapped around minced pork and wood ear mushrooms. A northern Vietnamese breakfast staple, they're piled with fried shallots, fresh herbs, blanched bean sprouts, and slices of cha lua, then dipped in nuoc cham, the sweet-sour-salty fish sauce dressing. The tapioca starch in the batter is what gives the wrappers their gentle chew. The batter rests for at least 30 minutes before steaming.

Fabada Asturiana with fabes de la granja, chorizo asturiano and morcilla asturiana — Spain recipe

🇪🇸SpainAdvanced

Soups

Fabada Asturiana

Fabada is the bean stew of Asturias, in northern Spain: large flat white beans called fabes de la granja cooked for hours with the compango, the set of cured pork that flavours the pot. The standard compango is chorizo, cured Asturian blood sausage, salt-cured pork shoulder and cured belly, and the broth thickens on its own from starch released by the beans rather than from any flour or puree. Records of fabes being grown in Asturias go back several centuries, though the dish in its present form is usually dated to the nineteenth century. Two rules separate a good pot from a broken one: the liquid must never reach a rolling boil, and the beans must not be stirred with a spoon. Add the overnight soak to the cooking time.

Feijoada with black beans, carne seca and paio sausage — Brazil recipe

🇧🇷BrazilAdvanced

Meat Dishes

Feijoada

Feijoada is the black bean and pork stew eaten across Brazil, by restaurant custom on Saturdays (and in many places on Wednesdays too), as a full meal with rice, greens and orange on the side. Salt-cured and smoked pork cook slowly with black beans until the beans give up enough starch to turn the liquid into a dark, thick broth. The set of meats matters more than any seasoning: carne seca for salt and depth, smoked ribs for smoke, paio and calabresa for spice and fat. Origin stories tying it to slave quarters and discarded offcuts are widespread but historically contested, since bean and pork stews were already common in Portugal. Bean soaking and desalting the cured meat happen the day before.

Korean Corn Dogs with hot dog sausages, mozzarella and panko breadcrumbs — Korea recipe

Korean Corn Dogs

A Korean corn dog (핫도그, hatdogeu) is a street snack from Korea: a hot dog, a stick of mozzarella or both on a skewer, coated in a thick batter and a shell of panko, deep-fried until crunchy, then dusted with sugar and zig-zagged with ketchup and mustard. Makes 8 corn dogs, 2 per serving. The pull of molten cheese and the sweet-savoury crust are the whole appeal.

Currywurst with bratwurst, tomato paste and curry powder — Germany recipe

Currywurst

Currywurst is Berlin street food: a pork sausage cut into rounds, buried under a hot tomato and curry sauce and dusted with curry powder on top. Herta Heuwer sold the first one at her stand in Charlottenburg in September 1949, and she built the sauce from tomato paste, curry powder and Worcestershire sauce rather than from ready-made ketchup. Berlin serves a skinless boiled sausage, pale and soft, while the Ruhr fries a bratwurst in its casing for the bite; both arrive with fries under ketchup and mayonnaise, ordered as Pommes rot-weiß.

Kartoffelsuppe (German Potato Soup) with potato, leek and carrot — Germany recipe

🇩🇪GermanyAdvanced

Soups

Kartoffelsuppe (German Potato Soup)

Kartoffelsuppe is the everyday German potato soup: floury potatoes cooked down with Suppengrün, the standard bundle of carrot, celery root, leek and parsley sold in every German supermarket, and seasoned with marjoram rather than thyme. Sliced Bockwurst or Wiener sausages go in at the end. The potatoes do the thickening themselves, so there is no flour and no roux; mashing a third of them against the pot gives a body that flour would only make pasty. Thuringia blends the whole pot smooth, Saxony leaves the cubes whole, and this version sits between the two.
