A quintessential cha chaan teng (Hong Kong-style diner) dish, baked pork chop rice is comfort food at its finest. Simple fried rice, flavorfully marinated pork chops, and a soy-sauce-and-ketchup-spiked tomato sauce are layered under a blanket of burnished melted cheese. This recipe comes from chef Laurence Louie of Rubato, a Hong Kong-style café in Quincy, MA-one of our Best New Restaurants of 2023.

This corn cheese ciabatta is exactly what it sounds like: garlic bread meets Korean corn cheese! There are three different components to build strong, bold garlic flavors: roasted garlic paste, minced raw garlic, and garlic powder. Roasted garlic paste has a subtle sweetness, while the minced raw garlic has a more pungent, pronounced garlic taste. Then, garlic powder glues all the other garlic flavors together.

Achiote (also known as annatto) gives the spice blend that flavors, and colors, this pilaf a beautiful ochre hue and a distinctive earthy taste. Make sure to buy it powdered, as the whole seeds are very hard and can be difficult to break down at home. Paired with garlic and onion powders, dried oregano, and just a hit of crushed chili powder or flakes, the mix yields a seasoned rice that goes well with just about everything.
