Recipes

Sesame Garlic Asparagus

Toss asparagus with a garlicky vinaigrette before roasting this tender vegetable to bump up the overall flavor a few notches. For the best flavor and nutrition, broil the asparagus stalks until they’re crisp-tender, but still vibrant in color.

Chinese Eggplant with Ginger Sauce

With its smooth, glossy skin and meaty texture, eggplant is used in cooking preparations worldwide. Stop in China for an aromatic eggplant side dish simmered in a fresh ginger sauce.
