Green Beans with Toasted Sesame Seeds
Beans with Toasted Sesame Seeds
Adapted from The Art of Chinese Cooking by Eileen Yin-Fei Lo
This is a great quick and easy stir-fry recipe. The green beans are just cooked, so they are bright green, crisp on the outside, yet chewy. The scallion oil and the shallots give a delicious sweetness to the dish. The toasted sesame seeds add a wonderful nutty flavor. Serve it with stir-fried rice for a complete meal.

Adapted from – Mastering the Art of Chinese Cooking by Eileen Yin-Fei Lo
Fried rice is a great way to use leftovers and is a relatively quick and easy dish to make. I’ll make extra rice when making a stir-fry or other dish, so I have some to make fried rice. Feel free to add in any quick cooking vegetable you have on hand. Cook the vegetable first and reserve to add into the dish later. Also, feel free to add in any pre-cooked leftover meat to the dish. It all comes together quickly, so have all your ingredients ready to go!

Pork Lettuce Cup
Adapted from Williams-Sonoma Kitchen
I saw this recipe in a Williams-Sonoma catalog, and since I was already planning on cooking pork loin, I roasted extra to use for this recipe later in the week. It was nice to have the pork already cooked. I just needed to season and reheat the pork. If you don’t have any precooked pork, starting from scratch is easy too, it just takes a bit of time to roast. So it’s great for a weekend meal.
