This vegan eggplant dish comes from Hunan, a landlocked province in southern China in the middle reaches of the Yangtze watershed. Their cuisine is known for its spicy flavors and fresh aromas. You can’t ask for a better compliment to eggplants’ mild and water-rich flavors than the warm, spicy sauce packed with umami. It’s very satisfying as an appetizer, side, or with rice to make a main dish.
Shumai are traditional dumplings often served as part of dim sum. They’re part of Cantonese cuisine from the Guangdong province of China, a southeastern coastal region. There are many variations of shumai, both in China and around the world. This version uses a combination of pork and shrimp, as well as shiitake mushrooms, water chestnuts, scallions, and seasoning. You can buy dumpling wrappers or make your own, as this recipe instructs. Making wrappers might seem intimidating, but it’s actually pretty easy and satisfying. This recipe makes 24 shumai.
For lovers of cucumbers and pickles, this fresh salad can’t be beat! In Denmark, these cucumbers can be enjoyed alone, on rugbrødsmadder (traditional open-faced sandwiches), or on Danish hot dogs. They have a crisp texture and a sweet and mildly spiced flavor. Delicious!
Rice pilaf is a traditional rice cooking method where the grains are sautéed with other ingredients and cooked with broth. Wild rice is a grain that is a close cousin to domesticated rice, but not the same thing. It comes from four types of grass that grow in shallow water. Traditionally, they were harvested by indigenous people in North America and, to a lesser extent, in China. The grain is very similar to long-grain rice in texture, but it has a vegetal flavor that pairs well with mushrooms and other fall favorites.
This delicious potato dish is just as creamy as the traditional version but entirely plant-based. The cream sauce is made with roasted leeks, imparting a delightful flavor that perfectly complements the potatoes.

This summer salad incorporates many of the season’s best flavors, with sweet corn and strawberries, savory basil, fresh tomatoes, and arugula for a little kick. The queso fresco is a mild but salty cheese, almost like a combination of feta and mozzarella. You can also use cotija cheese for a slightly more robust flavor.
Mayak eggs are an effortless Korean dish that packs a flavor punch! Sweet, salty, and a little spicy, they go especially well with a bowl of hot rice. The eggs are soft-boiled, so they have a wonderful jammy texture.
