Ingredients 12 ounces thin fresh noodles, like lo mein or tagliarini 2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil 12 ounces boneless, skinless chicken thighs, cut into ¼-inch-thick, bite-size slices 1 tablespoon finely shredded ginger 1 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon Chinese rice wine or dry sherry 1 teaspoon cornstarch 1 teaspoon plus 1 tablespoon soy sauce Salt ¼ teaspoon ground white pepper 2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil ¼ teaspoon red pepper flakes 5 ounces (about 3 cups) thinly sliced Napa cabbage 4 ounces (about 2 cups) fresh shiitake mushrooms, stems removed, caps thinly sliced ½ cup finely shredded scallions Preparation Step 1 Bring a medium saucepan of water to boil over high heat and cook noodles until just done, 3 to 5 minutes, stirring to prevent sticking. Drain in a colander and rinse with cold water until cool, then shake well to remove water. Return noodles to pot, add sesame oil, and toss. Step 2 Put chicken in a shallow bowl and add ginger, one teaspoon rice wine, cornstarch, one teaspoon soy sauce, ¼ teaspoon salt and pepper. Mix gently to combine. In a small bowl, combine remaining one tablespoon rice wine and one tablespoon soy sauce. Step 3 Heat a wok over high heat until a bead of water evaporates almost on contact. Swirl in one tablespoon peanut oil, add red pepper flakes and stir-fry 10 seconds using a metal spatula. Push pepper flakes aside and add chicken, spreading in a single layer to maximize contact with the wok. Let cook undisturbed one minute, until chicken begins to sear. Step 4 Stir-fry chicken and pepper flakes together, tossing in the wok, for a minute or 2 until just done. Remove to a bowl. Add cabbage and mushrooms and stir-fry one minute until just wilted but not cooked. Empty into the bowl with chicken. Step 5 Reheat wok, swirl in remaining one tablespoon peanut oil, and add noodles. Stir-fry 30 seconds, moving constantly to heat through. Swirl soy sauce-rice wine mixture and add to wok along with chicken-vegetable mixture and scallions. Sprinkle on ¾ teaspoon salt and stir-fry a minute or 2 until chicken and vegetables are heated through.

Step 2 Add the clam juice and 2 cups water and bring to a boil over high heat. Cover the pot with a lid, adjust the heat to low and simmer until the potatoes are tender, about 10 minutes. Step 3 While the soup is simmering, prepare the crackers: Melt 2 tablespoons of butter in a small saucepan over medium heat. Swirl in the paprika and turn off the heat. Lightly crush the saltines into the saucepan in small bite-size pieces and toss to coat in the seasoned butter. Season with salt and set aside. Step 4 Once the potatoes are tender, stir in the cod and half-and-half, raise the heat to medium, cover and simmer until the cod is cooked through, 3 to 4 minutes.

Add cocoa and superfine sugar, and whisk to blend. In a small bowl, combine sour cream, eggs and vanilla; mix well. Add to Guinness mixture. Add flour and baking soda, and whisk again until smooth. Pour into buttered pan, and bake until risen and firm, 45 minutes to 1 hour. Place pan on a wire rack and cool completely in pan.

Ingredients Salt 2 tablespoons butter 1 small clove garlic, finely chopped 1½ cups heavy cream 1 large egg yolk 1 pound fresh fettuccine 1 cup freshly grated Parmigiano-Reggiano Freshly ground pepper to taste Preparation Bring 6 quarts generously salted water to a boil. While the water heats, melt the butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat. Add garlic; sauté until fragrant and sizzling, about 2 minutes. Whisk the cream with the egg yolk in a bowl until blended; pour into the garlic butter. Reduce heat to medium-low; stir until hot but not boiling. Keep warm over low heat. Meanwhile, cook the pasta, partially covered, until al dente. (The pasta will float when it’s done.) Drain in a colander, shaking out excess water, but reserve a little cooking water. Pour hot pasta into the cream mixture and toss to coat (still over low heat). Add the cheese and keep tossing gently until cream is mostly absorbed. Season with salt and pepper. If sauce is absorbed too much, toss with a little pasta water. Serve in warm bowls. Yield: 6 servings

Ingredients For the Filling ½ cup/113 grams unsalted butter, very soft, plus more for greasing the pan ½ packed cup/110 grams light brown sugar 1½ teaspoons cinnamon ¾ cup/90 grams chopped pecans, toasted (see Tip) For the Rolls 2 cups/256 grams all-purpose flour, plus more for work surface 1 tablespoon baking powder 1 teaspoon fine salt ¼ teaspoon baking soda ¼ cup/54 grams canola oil ¾ cup/180 grams buttermilk For the Glaze 4 ounces/113 grams cream cheese, very soft 1 cup/102 grams confectioners’ sugar, sifted if lumpy 1 teaspoon whole milk or heavy cream ½ teaspoon vanilla extract Heat oven to 400 degrees. Lightly grease a 9-inch round cake pan. Make the filling: In a medium bowl, using a flexible spatula or wooden spoon, mix butter, brown sugar and cinnamon until smooth, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the pecans. Set aside. Make the rolls: In a large bowl, whisk together the flour, baking powder, salt and baking soda. Add the oil and, using a flexible spatula or wooden spoon, mix until incorporated. (It might be a little lumpy. That’s OK!) Stir in the buttermilk until just blended. Gather the dough into a ball and knead on a lightly floured surface until smooth, about 1 minute. Roll out the dough into a 15-by-8-inch rectangle. Gently spread the filling evenly over the dough, leaving a ¼-inch border all around. Starting from one of the long sides, roll up the dough into a tight cylinder. Rotate the roll so that the seam is against the work surface. Using a serrated knife, cut the roll crosswise into eight equal slices. Transfer the rolls to the prepared pan, spacing them evenly. Bake for 20 to 25 minutes, or until golden. While the rolls bake, make the glaze: In a medium bowl, using a rubber spatula or wooden spoon, beat the cream cheese until smooth, 1 to 2 minutes. Add the confectioners’ sugar and beat well. Add the milk and vanilla, and beat until smooth and creamy. Set aside. Remove the rolls from the oven and allow to cool for 3 to 4 minutes before coating with the glaze. Serve warm. Tips To toast the pecans, place on a baking sheet in a 350-degree oven for 6 to 8 minutes, or until lightly browned and fragrant. Rolls are best baked immediately, but if you must, you can wrap with plastic wrap and refrigerate overnight, then let come to room temperature before baking. They won't puff up quite as beautifully, but they'll still be tasty. You can freeze baked rolls for up to 3 months. Similar Recipes Yield: 8 servings

Ingredients Kosher salt 12 ounces short pasta, such as shells, wagon wheels or rigatoni 2 packed cups parsley, leaves and tender stems 10 anchovy fillets, preferably packed in olive oil (one 2-ounce tin) 1 small bunch scallions, white and green parts, chopped 2 tablespoons capers, drained (optional) 3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil, plus more for drizzling 4 garlic cloves, finely grated or minced to a paste 1(1-pound) bunch broccoli rabe, trimmed and chopped into 1-inch pieces ½ cup chopped fresh tomato (plum, cherry or grape work well) 2 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into pieces ¾ teaspoon grated lemon zest Pinch of red-pepper flakes Freshly ground black pepper Ricotta, for serving (optional) Preparation Bring a large pot of heavily salted water to a boil. Cook pasta according to package instructions until 1 minute shy of al dente. Use a coffee cup or measuring cup to save some pasta water, then drain pasta. While the pasta cooks, coarsely chop the parsley, 6 anchovy fillets, scallions, capers (if using) and a pinch of salt. You can chop it all together on a cutting board, or pulse everything briefly together in the food processor; just make sure to keep it coarse. Heat a large skillet over medium. Add oil, remaining 4 anchovies and half the garlic, and let cook, stirring, until anchovies start to dissolve, about 1 minute. Stir in broccoli rabe, tomato, about two-thirds of the parsley mixture and a pinch of salt to the pan. Sauté until the rabe is tender, 5 to 8 minutes, adding splashes of pasta water as the pan dries out. Taste and season with more salt if necessary. Add pasta to pan along with butter, lemon zest, remaining garlic and red-pepper flakes. Toss until the butter melts and the pasta is combined with the vegetables, adding more pasta water if the mixture seems dry. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Divide pasta among bowls and sprinkle with remaining parsley mixture. Drizzle with olive oil, and serve with ricotta, if you like.
