Lion’s Head Meatballs over Rice

In this traditional Chinese dish, generously portioned meatballs (huge!) are distinctly seasoned with dried shrimp, browned in oil with garlic and ginger, and then simmered in broth with Napa cabbage leaves, which when wilted, drape like manes over the “lion’s head”.

Serving Suggestions: Serve over steamed pearl or brown rice.

Lecsó

In this Hungarian dish popular throughout Central Europe, sausage chunks are simmered with sautéed bell peppers and onions in a tomato-paprika sauce. Its quirky but delightful signature lies in the eggs that are then gently scrambled into the goulash.

Serving Suggestions: Serve over thick slices of boiled Yukon Gold potatoes, with a side of sweet-and-sour cucumbers to provide contrasting refreshment.

Potstickers

Seasoned pork and cabbage filling is enveloped decoratively in Chinese water dough, and alternately fried and steamed in pan. The resulting stuffed dumpling is simultaneously crisp, chewy, and moist. It is accompanied by soy dipping sauce seasoned to your liking, and when served as an entrée, a side of blanched sesame bean sprouts.
