Hi Reader,
Are you always on the lookout for a recipe that introduces you to a new ingredient or takes your taste buds somewhere you've never been? Same. That's why I'm starting something new.
Every week, I'm going to round up some of my favorite recent recipes from bloggers I love and admire, all celebrating the incredible diversity of global cooking. This week's theme: recipes perfect for a weeknight dinner.
We've got Korean, Chinese, Japanese, Italian, and Filipino — here's what's on the menu:
🥩 Hoisin Beef with Gochujang Sauce — ground beef in a rich hoisin sauce, finished with a fiery, sweet gochujang drizzle. Korean and Chinese flavors colliding in the best possible way.
🥦 Instant Pot Beef and Broccoli from The Foreign Fork — the classic Chinese-American takeout dish, made at home with that rich, savory sauce we all crave.
🥬 Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps from Delicious Meets Healthy — spicy, fresh, and packed with flavor. Neli's version is loaded with bold ingredients that make every bite pop.
🍝 Pasta e Piselli from Cooking with Mamma C — Italian home cooking at its most comforting. Mamma C's one-pot pasta with peas is a Neapolitan classic worth knowing.
🍱 Teriyaki Chicken and Rice Bowls from Everyday Eileen — homemade teriyaki sauce, tender chicken, fresh vegetables over rice. Everything you love about Japanese teriyaki, in bowl form.
🍖 Salt and Pepper Pork Chops from Kawaling Pinoy — crispy, golden, and insanely flavorful. Lalaine's Filipino take on this Chinese restaurant classic is the kind of recipe you'll make on repeat.
I hope this gives you some serious dinner inspiration this week. I'd love to hear which one you try first — hit reply and let me know!
Happy cooking,
Robin
