Spiced Butternut-Sweet Potato Bowl

Roasted butternut squash and sweet potato together, ground turkey with warm autumn spices, cottage cheese, avocado, and hot honey. The gentlest bowl in this series. Sweet potato holds its shape and caramelizes at the edges; squash softens into something almost melting. Together they make a base that is richer and more layered than either one alone.

Stuffed Fish (Gefilte Fish)

An Ashkenazi Jewish classic — whole fish is cut into steaks, the flesh is ground with onion and bread to make a tender stuffing, then the pieces are gently simmered in aromatic broth until the cooking liquid sets into a golden jelly. Best served cold with horseradish. Plan ahead: after cooking it needs a night in the fridge for the broth to set.

Sukiyaki (Japanese Beef Hot Pot) with beef, tofu and leek — Japan recipe
🇯🇵JapanMedium
Meat Dishes

Sukiyaki (Japanese Beef Hot Pot)

Sukiyaki (すき焼き, 寿喜烧 in Chinese) is a Japanese one-pot dish in which thin slices of marbled beef, tofu, negi, mushrooms and shungiku simmer in a sweet-salty sauce of soy sauce, mirin, sake and sugar called warishita, and every bite is dipped in beaten raw egg. At home you don't need a tabletop burner: a wide, deep skillet on the stove does the job, cooked in two rounds. This is the Kanto style, where the sauce is mixed in advance; the Kansai way of seasoning the beef directly in the pan is explained in the author's note. Prep and cooking together take about 35 minutes.
