Asian Thanksgiving

Bring bold Asian flavors to your holiday table! From roasted Cornish hens and Thai-spiced Dutch oven whole chicken to miso butter baked trout and festive veggie sides, these dishes add a cozy, flavor-packed twist to traditional Thanksgiving favorites.

Even though I grew up in Taiwan, I’ve spent most of my life in the U.S., and these are the kinds of dishes I love to cook for my family during the holidays. They’re my way of blending familiar Thanksgiving comfort with the flavors I grew up with — full of umami, color, and warmth. Each recipe is deeply personal, rooted in Asian ingredients and seasonings, but reimagined for the modern American table.
