This easy to make this green bean and potato sautéed dish which goes best with Indian breads or rice.  When shopping for fresh green beans, look for the bright green and crisp, firm ones rather than the softer, flimsy ones. The best ones will make a snapping noise when broken in half.  For Thanksgiving, instead of the common green bean casserole, this is a great substitute for something different, much more delicious, nutritious, and less fattening.

Brussels Sprouts have made quite a comeback on the American table, especially around the Thanksgiving holiday. For this recipe, I like to use dry-cured Chinese Bacon for its smoky essence and rich meat flavor. The addition of fish sauce and clover honey might sound insane but their sweet and salty characteristics marry very well. Using the same cooking technique for pan-fried dumplings, these Brussels Sprouts are crisp on the outside and soft and tender on the inside. The best part: you only need five ingredients and less than 20 minutes from start to finish. It’s the perfect side dish to make any time of the year.

Instead of frying the wings, I like baking them instead as it’s easier and less messy. I dare not mention “baking is healthier too!” as wings are fattening no matter how you cook ‘em. I buy the chicken wings whole, cut them apart and freeze the tips for stock.

Sticky Rice Stuffing

I love Thanksgiving. During my childhood, my parents would celebrate by cooking a feast that included American classics such as roasted turkey, candied sweet potatoes and flaky biscuits. Because we only had one small oven, mom and dad would prepare the rest of the side dishes on the stove top, including a Chinese favorite, sticky rice.

Thanksgiving Sweet Rice Stuffing

Posted on 03. Sun, 2010 by grace in GF-Adaptable, Holidays, Thanksgiving

Turkey is stuffed with glutinous (also known as sweet rice), Chinese sausage and black mushroom in this recipe. The rice stuffing is delicious and a very satisfying alternative to the heavy bread stuffing usually served. Enjoy the holiday feasting, knowing that you are nourishing your body at the same time.
