    Almost any grilled, fried, or stir-fried mainย dishย may star in southern Vietnamese riceย noodle salads, which are generically calledย bรบn ("boon"), the name of the capellini-size round riceย noodles that define the dish. In Vietnam, they are sold fresh and dried. Abroad, most people use dried noodles purchased at Asian markets, though you can now buy them at regular supermarkets too. Bรบnย bowlย salads come together easily,ย so keep theย noodles in your pantry (seeย below for buying tips).

    Whereas many people love a chewy open crumb in their bread nowadays, many Asian folks enjoy the soft pillowy gentleness of yeasted breads.

You can make them at home with little effort and the result of your effort will be ethereal.

    โ€œWho are these freezer people?โ€ I used to ask myself. Theyโ€™re the ones who would tell me they would freeze the 2 gallons (8L) of whey leftover from making cheese. Theyโ€™re the people who have room in their freezer for turkey carcasses that theyโ€™re saving to make stock. Others put their summer bounty of tomato sauces in there, plus pesto, three-layer cakes, casserole dishes of lasagna and macaroni and cheese, pound cakes and assorted cookie doughs.

    Every cook needs easy, 15 minute vegetable sides in their back pockets. I have many that feature cabbage -- salads, soup garnishes, and stir-fries. This Chinese cabbage just entered my life by way of Betty Liu's cookbook, The Chinese Way, which was published in 2024 by Voracious/Little Brown. Betty focuses on core Chinese culinary values by drawing a through line from traditional recipes to modern riffs.
