Avgolemono

Drescription

A Greek soup made with lemon, egg, chicken, and orzo. Creamy without cream, tangy, and comforting—great for cold days or when feeling under the weather.

Ingredients

1 3/4 quarts chicken broth 1/2 cup uncooked orzo pasta 3 eggs
1 lemon, juiced
1 tablespoon cold water salt and pepper to taste

Directions

Pour the chicken broth into a large saucepan, and bring it to the boil. Add the pasta and cook for 5 minutes.
Beat the eggs until frothy, then add the lemon juice and 1 tablespoons of cold water. Slowly stir in a ladleful of the hot chicken stock, then add one or two more. Be careful not to scramble the eggs!
Return this mixture to the pan, off the heat, and stir well. Season with salt and pepper and serve at once, garnished with lemon slices. Do not let the soup boil once the eggs have been added or it will curdle!

Chicken

Avocado Ranch Chicken Salad

Avocado makes an exceptionally creamy and healthful dressing for this chicken salad. A bit of ranch dressing with pickled jalapeño adds a tangy spin to the lunchtime classic. Serve it on a slice of whole-wheat toast for an open-face sandwich or in a lettuce cup for a low-carb lunch.

Korean Fried Chicken

This Korean fried chicken recipe is officially my favorite. I've had every style of fried chicken known to man, so I've always considered myself an expert. No other method I've come across has the same combination of tender, juicy, flavorful chicken and plate-scratching crispiness as this recipe does. It's simply a must-try!

Vegetarian Mapo Tofu

Vegetarian Mapo Tofu is a spicy, savory Sichuan-style dish made with soft tofu, fermented chili bean paste (doubanjiang), garlic, and mushrooms or plant-based protein instead of meat. It’s bold, comforting, and full of umami flavor.
