Lacquered Sesame Chicken Bowls with Asian Pear

January 25, 2021 No Comments

Have you ever fallen hard for a recipe? You know, a dish that you cannot stop making? I recently fell for a new one and in the year that I’ve known it, I’ve made it six times. And for me, that’s saying a lot. I generally only make recipes once before moving on. I get distracted so easily when it comes to food. I’m not particularly good at following recipes either, I can’t help but riff. Yet another side effect of my short culinary attention span. But last year I made Pups with Chopsticks’ Peking Chicken recipe and I was instantly smitten. I didn’t even pause to riff. I just made it. But then I made it again and again and finally the riffing started. These Lacquered Sesame Chicken Bowls with Asian Pear are the result of that riffing.

As a child of the 90s, I remember a time when pizza wasn’t taken seriously. When it was perfectly normal and not at all neglectful to be served a frozen pizza for dinner. A time before my brain knew words like “00 flour” or “Neopolitan style”. An era of unlimited toppings and crusts stuffed with any unholy thing a fast-food chain could dream up. Pizza was an uncomplicated crowd-pleaser, the taste of childhood, and a meal available in a head-spinning number of formats – personal, pan, and pocket just to name a few. Pizza wasn’t sacred, pizza was fun. And that is exactly the mood I was trying to capture with this Veggie Deluxe Baguette Pizza.

Since the beginning of January, I’ve found myself reaching for lighter things. Not necessarily diet food but certainly more fruit and vegetables than I was consuming in December. After a parade of Thanksgiving indulgences, Halloween candy splurges, and a deluge of Holiday treats, my tastebuds are screaming for a refresh. Not because I want to find my way into a pair of my high school jeans. It’s more a desire to shock my system and wake myself up from a sluggish parade of potatoes, pasta, and bread. If you share these sentiments in any small way, these Braised Tofu Fresh Rolls are for you.

Does anyone need a break? I know we just had a break but I swear this first week and a half of 2021 has felt like a whole dang year. I don’t think I need to tell you what events I’m referring to and I don’t think it would serve any larger purpose to mention them. So instead I’m going to talk about how my outrage and fear gave way to extreme tiredness, which led to this breezy no-cook meal that is not terrible for you. Sometimes eating your feelings can involve vegetables and these Tofu Salad Bowls are proof of that.
