Key Details

Difficulty: Easy

Estimated Calories

Per Serving (as a side): Approximately 120-150 calories.

Ingredients

For the Salad:

1 lb carrots, peeled and coarsely grated

¼ cup raisins or golden raisins

2 tbsp fresh parsley or cilantro, chopped

2 tbsp sliced almonds or toasted pine nuts (optional, for crunch)

For the Dressing:

3 tbsp fresh lemon juice

2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil

1 tsp ground cumin

½ tsp sweet paprika

¼ tsp cayenne pepper or harissa paste (adjust to taste)

1 small garlic clove, minced

½ tsp salt, or to taste

¼ tsp black pepper

1 tsp maple syrup or agave nectar (optional, to balance acidity)

How to Prepare

1. Prepare the Carrots:

The quickest way is to use the grater attachment on your food processor. Alternatively, you can grate the carrots by hand using the large holes of a box grater. Place the grated carrots in a large bowl.

2. Make the Dressing:

In a small bowl or jar, whisk together the lemon juice, olive oil, ground cumin, paprika, cayenne, minced garlic, salt, and pepper. If your lemons are very tart, add the optional maple syrup to balance the flavor.

3. Combine and Marinate:

Pour the dressing over the grated carrots.

Add the raisins and most of the fresh parsley/cilantro.

Toss everything together until the carrots are evenly coated.

Let the salad sit for at least 30 minutes at room temperature to allow the flavors to meld and the carrots to soften slightly. This marinating step is crucial for the best flavor.

4. Serve:

Just before serving, give the salad a final toss. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Transfer to a serving dish and garnish with the remaining fresh herbs and the sliced almonds or pine nuts for a welcome crunch.

Hong Shao Rou

Ingredients

Blanching

1.5 lbs pork belly

3 scallions(white portion)

3 slices ginger

1/4 cup shaoxing wine Cooking

2 tbsp neutral oil

2 tbsp rock sugar

3 scallions(white portion)

3 slices ginger

2 star anise

1 cinnamon stick

2 bay leaves

3 dried chilies

1/4 cup shaoxing wine

3 tbsp light soy sauce

1 tbsp dark soy sauce

2.5 cups water

Instructions

Prep aromatics by slicing ginger and scallions. Save scallions whites for cooking and greens for garnish.

Cut pork belly into 1.5 inch sized chunks.

Add pork belly to a pot along with aromatics and shaoxing wine. Cover with water, bring to a boil, and cook for 5-7 minutes.

Rinse pork belly under cold water to remove any scum.

Heat oil and sugar in a wok on medium heat. Once the sugar caramelizes and becomes an amber color(3-4 minutes), add the pork belly.

Sauté pork belly until golden brown then add aromatics, spices, shaoxing wine, light soy sauce, and dark soy sauce. Pour enough water to barely cover the pork belly, cover with a lid and simmer on low for 1.5 to 2 hours. You know the pork belly is ready when you can easily poke the skin with a chopstick.

Remove the aromatics and spices then raise the heat to medium high to reduce and thicken the sauce(3-4 minutes).

Garnish with a green portion of scallions and serve with a hot bowl of rice.
