Rice & grains

hush puppies

October 4, 2020

Sometimes the simplest recipes are the best balms. Spending more time at home over this last year, we've been cooking nonstop but mostly just the homey, five-ingredient type meals that come together pretty fast and last us for a few nights. Things like fried kimchi and an over-easy egg on rice for lunch (that's right, I'm even at "lazy man's ...

honey sesame corn pudding

November 14, 2019

I am new to corn pudding, but what I lack in history I make up for in fervor. There's a special place in my heart for those dishes that look like sides but are really not so far from dessert, sneaking into the party early (extra marshmallows on the sweet potato casserole, please) and if ever there was one, this is it: The delicate sunshine of ...

stir-fried lettuce bowl with ginger fried rice and egg

July 27, 2019

We have had two big developments of our summer so far. One is that I went back to work (and we can skip discussing that) but the other is much more exciting: We moved! Somehow some people in the world thought that it was okay for this pair of silly babies to actually, honest-to-goodness own a home. Now that we're done screaming in terror over the ...

pork sung no knead bread

May 31, 2019

Well, I had all sorts of plans to post here more often while on magical maternity leave, but those plans seem to have manifested as three months of nothing but snuggling chubby baby cheeks (Clara now giggles sometimes when I do this and it’s the best, thing, ever) and chasing skinny manic toddlers. Oops. And so I’ve been sitting on this recipe ...

jianbing strata

December 21, 2018

There is room yet for cinnamon rolls and cookies and hot chocolate on our Christmas morning breakfast spread, and I have plans aplenty to make all of these between now and Tuesday.  But this strata, a little bit eccentric but a lot a bit amazing, has just muscled its way onto the table.  I vaguely recall first learning of jianbing, the street cart ...

crab fried sticky rice with jalapeño aioli

July 19, 2017

My commute here in LA is almost the same as it was in New York, 40 minutes give or take. The only difference is that I sit my butt in a little Corolla instead of the blue-benched 4/5, and so I can no longer do either of the two things I used to do on my commutes in New York -- sleep, or read, but mostly sleep -- because I would die. For exactly 3 ...

sprouted flour pancakes with vanilla pear compote

February 22, 2017

Even with the advent of a waffle-maker to capture my interest (and my kitchen real estate), I can never go too long without coming back to pancakes. They’re happy food — from my dad and boxed pancake mix on the weekends, flicking the skillet to flip them in mid-air, to a beach retreat in college where a classmate showed me that, forget blueberries, ...

molly’s all of the alliums fried rice

September 21, 2016

I think fried rice may have been one of the first things I learned from my mother and grandmother in the kitchen.  I imagine it must be like Sunday gravy in that every family has their own little way of doing things, though I don't know that ours was so much a heirloom recipe as just an easy, quick, and comforting way to get food on the table:  for ...

tomato-braised eggs and creamy baked polenta

September 7, 2016

Earlier this summer, I spent a few glorious hours in Venice at The Tasting Kitchen in what felt like an endless parade of dream brunch fare. Before this I'd never had any kind of chef's menu or omakase-type meal, but a group of us opted for their tasting menu (because that seemed like what you should choose at a restaurant similarly named) and it ...
