Soba With Green Tea Broth, Tempeh, and Spring Vegetables

Like seaweed-steeped dashi, the base for this soup comes together in minutes. Then you use the gingery, tea-flavored liquid to cook soba noodles, adding both body and a hint of buckwheat to the broth. Tempeh is a fermented soybean cake with a multi-faceted, tangy taste. The best way (we think) to enjoy it is crumbled and crisped a little, so it lends oomph without heft, which makes this recipe a good example of how you might substitute a small quantity of ground meat to eat slightly more omnivorously.

The No-Knead Bread Duo Answers Your Baking Questions

Mark and renowned bread baker Jim Lahey get so many individual messages about baking that they figured they should team up and try to answer as many as they possibly could — so they put out a call on Instagram. Here are all the answers to all your questions about baking bread (or pizza). 

Meatballs, 3 Ways

Here meatballs get three cocktail-party treatments, none of them Swedish. The main recipe — an Italian version, polpette are made with a load of fresh parmesan and milk-soaked bread. The second adds almonds for a tapas-style meatball. The third is Vietnamese influenced, with rice and pork. All three can be mixed and rolled in advance, then simmered, baked, pan-roasted, or grilled, and take just minutes to cook.

Other meat you can use: ground pork, lamb, veal, turkey, chicken, or duck (or a combination).

Caramelized Spiced Nuts

Sugar and bit of spice make these only slightly more involved than plain roasted nuts, and even more addictive. Use all one kind of nut or a combination. Add seeds to the mix if you like; sunflower, pumpkin, and sesame seeds all add flavor and texture.

Chicken Teriyaki

Caramelized and sweet; no wonder many Americans love it. Serve with plain short-grain brown or white rice. Other proteins you can use: boneless turkey thighs, pork chops, tuna steaks, sirloin steaks.

Chicken Roulades with Goat Cheese and Asparagus

The French—and fancy—word is roulade, and it describes a practical way to assemble and cook multiple ingredients simultaneously. The presentation is always impressive. Use the leftovers for sandwiches.
