Instant-Pot Vietnamese Chicken Noodle Soup (Pho Ga)

This is one of the best fried chickens ever. From southern Thailand, gai hat yai is known for its crispy skin, great aromatics, and super juicy meat.

Spaghetti is a common variation in modern Thai cooking. It’s so easy to work with and absorbs the garlicky, spicy notes of pad kee mao well.

Leftover rotisserie chicken finds new purpose in this endlessly comforting dish.

The mussels here add their beautiful, briny juices into the curry, which turn this into a stunning and spectacular dish.

Traditionally, this Mexican staple is simmered for hours in an olla, or clay pot. You can achieve a similar result by using canned beans and instant ramen.

This dish is not only a quick meal option but also a practical way to use leftover phở noodles when you’re out of broth.

An ex-boyfriend’s mom—who emigrated from Colombia—made the best meat sauce—she would fry sofrito for the base and simply add cooked ground beef, sazón, and jarred tomato sauce. My version is a bit more bougie—it calls for caramelized tomato paste and white wine—but the result is just as good.
