No dumplings are formed in the making of this soup…but your mouth won’t know the difference. Leave pleating practice for another day: Here the wrappers—sliced into pieces—eat like noodles when cooked until tender in the hot broth, alongside savory pork and just-wilted cabbage. A dipping-sauce-style combination of soy sauce, vinegar, and chili crisp provides a punchy finishing drizzle.

Recipe notes

Chicken and Cabbage Stir-Fry

Juicy ground chicken and charred cabbage are the stars of this family-friendly meal.

Gingery Pork Stuffed Tomatoes

We reimagined pork dumplings as a filling for juicy stuffed tomatoes.

Silken Tofu With Black Bean Garlic Sauce

A homemade black bean sauce is better than anything you can find in the grocery store. Plus, the 15-minute dinner you can make with it.

Baan Mae’s Thom Khem Thaohu

Slowly caramelized sugar, sweet lychees, warming spices, and fiery ginger create the perfect base for tofu to simmer in.

Pad Kra Pao

This fast stir-fry dish pairs minced pork and fragrant basil with hot Thai chiles and a crispy fried egg.

Oyakodon

This classic Japanese comfort food is a combination of chicken and egg (oyako means “parent and child”) simmered in sweet-savory broth and served over rice.

Cod With Chorizo, Greens, and Chickpeas

In this one-pan dinner, flaky cod is finished in a chorizo-spiked sauce, alongside wilty greens and chickpeas—some tender, some crispy.

Green Pasta e Fagioli

This riff on the Italian classic comfort food gets its verdant color from kale two ways: blended into the base, and wilted among the pasts and white beans.
