Yesterday I invited my sister over for dinner because I decided that we were going to try and master one of my mom's classic dishes. It's best described as stir fried beef with gravy and vegetables, but we lovingly call it "na ge niu rou" (which literally translates to "that cow meat").
Now, my mom has made this dish (or a variation of this dish) a thousand times and you'd think that I'd have tried cooking it by now.

A stir-fry packed full of Asian flavors is an awesome throw together meal that can be ready in about twenty minutes. Not only is it perfect for those nights when you want to eat healthy and quickly, but it's also great for an impromptu dinner party that can be prepared in less than an hour. Steam up a batch of white rice, purchase spring rolls from your favorite Chinese restaurant, and pour an easy to find light, fruity Pinot Noir.

As much as I love talking and thinking about Thanksgiving, sometimes it's nice to take a quick break from the all-American feast and enjoy a simple Asian-inspired meal.
In this recipe, shrimp is combined with a gingery soy sauce, chunks of red pepper, and slivers of green onions. Served on a bed of rice, it makes for a light and flavorful alternative to the season's plethora of comfort foods.

In an article last week, the New York Times takes a good look at green peppers and why they've fallen out of favor compared to other bell varieties. Though its opponents often describe the pepper as overly aggressive, vegetal, and bitter, it has its longtime fans, too, who believe the green ones have a grassy, versatile taste.
