The Oregonian in 60 seconds: Dim Sum, pudding cake and eating for health

table with dim sum and soy sauce bottles on it
Love the flavors and options at your local Dim Sum restaurant, but can't stand the crowds and noise? Try these recipes in order to replicate some of your favorites at home. They've got preparation advice and recipes for 5-Spice Barbeque Pork Ribs, Spicy Minced Chicken and Water Chestnut Lettuce Wraps, Steamed Buns With Barbecued Pork (Char Siu Hum Bao), Cheater's Pot Stickers With Hot Sour Dipping Sauce and (my favorite) Chinese Broccoli With Oyster Sauce.

Pudding cakes are the perfect dessert for those times when you want to impress your friends and family. Two desserts in one, they are far easier to create than it appears. Try the Coconut-Lemon Pudding Cakes, the Hazelnut-Mocha Pudding Cakes or the (sounds amazing) Muscovado Sugar & Rum Pudding Cakes.

Trying to balance good flavor with healthful, easy to prepare foods? Maybe you should cook up some mushrooms? And then use them as part of this Farfalle in a Broth of Wild Mushrooms and Browned Shallots.

If the state of the world has you down these days, spend just a few minutes in the kitchen sprucing up prepared foods for a quick and comforting meal.

Tip of the Day

It sits alone and untouched at the end of a long buffet table -- a bowl full of apples and bananas, maybe a seedy orange tossed in as an afterthought. Don't let your fruit salad meet this awful fate, spruce it up instead!
