Some of what you'll find inside
Chocolate Pastry Puffs
These breakfast treats are similar to pain au chocolat (“PAHN oh shock-uh-LAH”), a flaky French pastry with a chocolate center, but they’re much simpler to make! We start with store-bought puff pastry, which is made of superthin layers of dough and butter. It puffs up in the oven as the water in the butter heats up and escapes as steam.
Garlic-Sesame Nori Chips
To make our nori chips crispy and sturdy, we fold each sheet in half before baking, using water to stick the folded sheet together. Painting each nori sheet with toasted sesame oil adds even more chip-like crunch and helps the sesame seed mixture stick.
Kimchi-Miso Ramen
Dried ramen noodles are usually sold with a packet of salty (but not very flavorful) seasoning. To amp up the flavor in our ramen, we toss the packet and add two special ingredients instead: miso and kimchi. You can take your soup to the next level with toppings such as cooked corn kernels, thinly sliced scallions, bean sprouts, shredded nori, hard-cooked eggs, sriracha, chili crisp, and chili-garlic sauce.
Oven-Baked Chicken with Teriyaki Sauce
Traditional teriyaki chicken is grilled or broiled, but in this recipe, we moved the chicken from the grill to the oven, making things a little safer while still creating juicy meat with crispy, caramelized edges. The simple sauce full of bold flavor in this recipe is based on Chef Toshi Kasahara’s version of traditional Japanese chicken teriyaki, which he serves at Toshi’s Teriyaki Grill in Mill Creek, Washington.
Garlic Bread
Combining the powers of two ingredients—fresh garlic and garlic powder—gives this garlic bread the most garlicky flavor possible. Garlic, plus a smidge of salt, pepper, and sugar, is mixed with softened butter that's smeared over a whole loaf of soft Italian bread that gets crispy in the oven, and delivers plenty of garlic flavor with every bite.
Red Velvet Cupcakes
To give these moist cupcakes their brilliant red color, we use some cakey chemistry. Cocoa powder contains molecules called anthocyanins (“ann-though-SIGH-ah-nins”). When anthocyanins interact with acids—in this recipe, buttermilk and vinegar—they turn red (don’t worry, you won’t taste the vinegar!). That chemical reaction produces a faint red color in these cupcakes, which we boost with a bit of red food coloring. Top these colorful cupcakes with cream cheese frosting, and enjoy!
