Classic Indonesian Fried Rice

By Wendy Hutton, Southeast Asia’s Best Recipes

Fried rice is a common breakfast throughout Indonesia. It is often very simple—cooked rice tossed with a seasoning paste of chili and a dash of sweet soy sauce—or can be more substantial, like this recipe, which adds beef instead of the pork often used in non-Muslim parts of Southeast Asia.

Japanese Beef Curry from Scratch

By Harris Salat, The Japanese Food Report and The Japanese Grill

This beef curry is much more flavorful and appealing than curries made from prepackaged mixes. It freezes well, so make a big batch. A scale with metric measurements is needed for this recipe.

Caramelized Soy and Lemongrass Spareribs

By Alex Skaria, The Asian Barbecue Book: From Teriyaki to Tandoori.

This Vietnamese-inspired recipe combines sweet and salty flavors with lemongrass. The carmelized sugar gives the ribs a nice crust. This marinade is well suited to both smoking and grilling. Serve these ribs with Chinese Coleslaw and Curried Potato Wedges or jasmine rice.

Lamb Kebabs

For these kebabs, small chunks of lamb are skewered on bamboo sticks and baked in an oven. When the weather is pleasant, you can cook these lamb kebabs on an outdoor grill. In this recipe, I use boneless leg of lamb, but if you prefer goat meat, which is more common in India, you may use that instead.

Hanoi Beef Noodle Soup (Pho Bo)

By Periplus Editors, Vietnamese Cooking Made Easy: Simple, Flavorful and Quick Meals

This may well be considered Vietnam’s national dish. The Vietnamese eat it at any time of the day, but it is especially popular as a breakfast food. What makes this soup so convenient is that you can cook it ahead of time, storing the stock in one container and the remaining ingredients in another.
