These chicken wonton tacos are similar to those at Applebees. I loved the ones at Applebees and decided to attempt a home version. Light and tasty, they make a great appetizer or a quick and easy main dish. Kids love them! Finally, a dish that makes use of ground chicken but is not so far-fetched. I bake the wonton wrappers to save time and eliminate most of the fat. I am extremely pleased with this healthier version. Top tacos with cilantro, red onion, or sweet onion, if desired. Serve lime wedges on the side.

TikTok Salmon Bowl
Last night's leftovers become lunch-time magic with this TikTok-inspired Salmon Bowl created by Emily Mariko. A quick trip in the microwave reheats the salmon and rice (you'll love the accompanying ice cube trick), then it's all about the toppings! Soy sauce, sriracha and Kewpie mayonnaise get mixed in for a perfectly spicy sauce. Pair it with umami-rich nori and kimchi, and you've got an epic lunch.
Authentic Chinese Egg Rolls (from a Chinese person)
This egg rolls recipe came from my mom who is the best cook ever — and I am a picky eater! If I like this, then you will. This is very authentic because my family is Chinese and I am too. This recipe is at least 300 years old in the Ling family.
Lumpia (Shanghai Version)
Lumpia Shanghai is a smaller, meatier type of egg roll that we Filipinos are very proud of! You could use pork, beef, or both. It's a very easy and yummy recipe that's great as finger food. We serve these spring rolls with sweet and sour sauce, soy sauce with lemon, or banana ketchup.
