Make Ahead
Soy and Sesame Short Ribs
Inoue loves to use this marinade on any cut of beef (hanger is another favorite), chicken wings, or pork ribs.
Sesame-Salt Dipping Sauce
Solar salt is coarse and crunchy and keeps its shape; Asian markets stock it, but kosher salt is fine, too.
Cilantro-Parsley Chutney
This sauce goes with pretty much any grilled meat; stir leftovers into yogurt to make a dip.
Spicy Scallion and Onion Salad
Toss together just before serving to prevent wilting.
Peach Mustard
Where a chutney and mustard sauce overlap. Choose a very ripe– even bruised–peach for easy peeling.
Grilled Rib Eye with Paprika Vinaigrette
Smoky, sweet, crusty, and beefy, with charred bones to gnaw on: If this isn't a perfect steak, we don't know what is.
Pink Pickled Turnips
The turnips will taste great after just one week in the pickling liquid, but for that full-on saturated pink hue, let them sit for two full weeks.
Concord Grape Sorbet With Rosemary And Black Pepper
Rosemary, both herbal and floral, elevates the flavor of the Concord grape, while black pepper adds spiciness.
Summer Berry-Coconut Milk Ice Pops
The jammy mash-up of berries with coconut milk and cardamom makes these pops just rich enough-and irresistible.
Carrot Salad with Yogurt and Coriander
The carrots are shocked in ice water after shaving to give them a wavy shape and slightly soften their crunch.
Corned Beef Hash with Eggs
For a hash with crisp texture, fold in the browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
Bacon-Wrapped Trout
The bacon wrap is a genius way to secure flavorful fresh herbs inside the fish.
Peanut Maple Fudge Bars
Bar-shaped desserts abound in the Midwest. This version is particularly rich.
Fried Chicken
An overnight soak in buttermilk and a few key spices makes for the most flavorful, tender fried chicken.
Spicy Rhode Island Calamari
Rhode Island-style calamari, which is served with hot cherry peppers, is a local favorite. Look for medium-size fresh or frozen squid (about eight to a pound) for frying.
Beet Cured Lox
A touch of horseradish gives this cured salmon recipe warmth and a bit of bite, while the beets give it earthy sweetness and vibrant color.
