Christmas/Winter

Bring bold Asian flavors to your holiday table! From miso ginger braised short ribs and roasted Cornish hens to miso butter baked trout and festive veggie sides, these dishes add a cozy, flavor-packed touch to classic Christmas dinners.

Christmas is a fun time to share a wide mix of dishes — from cozy, comforting mains to crispy mini bites and sweet little treats like Chinese almond cookies. Whether you’re hosting a big family dinner or keeping things simple at home, these recipes bring together the flavors I love for the holidays: warm, savory, a little festive, and always delicious.

It’s a great way to show off your favorite dishes and fill the table with a balance of savory, sweet, and everything in between.
