Jan 6, 2025 | thespruceeats.com | Nicole Hopper |Sharon Hsu

How many varieties of curry have you experienced? From Indian and Thai to Japanese, Malaysian, and Caribbean, the world offers a wide range of delicious regional versions. Personally, I've enjoyed about four types and the thought of all these untasted curries out there is truly amazing to me. While making homemade curry paste may seem daunting due to its complex blend of flavors, not to worry! This recipe relies on store-bought red curry paste for its flavor.

This Buffalo Chicken Pizza is Everything You Love About Wings, Minus the Bones

Jan 6, 2025 | thespruceeats.com | Nicole Hopper |Sharon Hsu

A few of my husband’s closest friends are those he met during his time at Buffalo University. Because of the fond memories he made there and the irresistible tanginess of Buffalo sauce, it’s become a tradition for us to have some variation of Buffalo chicken incorporated into our major holiday get-togethers. Just the thought of that iconic flavor makes my taste buds tingle. Buffalo chicken is a dish of deep-fried chicken wings coated in a mild, tangy hot sauce such as Frank’s RedHot.
The Air Fryer Is the Best Way To Cook Broccoli, Period

Jan 6, 2025 | thespruceeats.com | Julia Levy |Sharon Hsu

I take back all the mean things I said about air fryers before I owned one. Initially, I believed they were bulky and overhyped, but having now experienced how convenient they are, I can't imagine my life without one. Take, for example, these broccoli florets. With an air fryer, they’re ready in 15 minutes and achieve a delightful crispiness. If you were using an oven to do the same thing, it would still be preheating. For best results, lay the cut broccoli in a single layer.
