6. Thai Pork Stew with Parsnips
In Thailand, this type of sweet pork stew often includes hard-cooked eggs and bamboo shoots. Here we bring it home with our own northern root vegetable, parsnips. If fish sauce is unavailable, you can use light soy sauce.
7. Sautéed Chicken with Parsley
Parsley is used almost as a vegetable in this tasty dish. Serve with plain rice, bulgur or rice pilaf.
8. Steamed Chayote Squash
Pear-shaped chayote squash was initially cultivated in ancient Mexico and from there spread throughout the Caribbean region, where it's known as cho-cho in anglophone areas and christophene in francophone ones. From Mexico, the Spanish brought it to the Philippines, where it remains popular; and from there it spread to China and Southeast Asia.
9. Garlic Sautéed Brussels Sprouts
Stalks of brussels sprouts standing upright against the barren ground of an early winter vegetable garden are a wondrous sight. These delectable members of the cabbage family get sweeter and tastier in the cold after a frost. But some people find their flavour a bit too strong. These recipes just might convince the skeptics that brussels sprouts are indeed a vegetable worthy of praise.
10. Chaozhou-Style Steamed Fish
Chaozhou is a region in the same Guangdong (Canton) province as Hong Kong, but with its own distinct language and culture. At Chaozhou-style restaurants in Hong Kong, a whole fish would be steamed, but fillets work well; pickerel, salmon, flounder, cod and other types of fish can be cooked in this method. Dried tangerine peel is available at Chinese grocers. Be sure to cut all of the ingredients into a fine julienne.
