Chef John's Hot and Sour Soup
This hot and sour soup is almost always served as an appetizer in a Chinese restaurant. Yes, it's hot, and yes, it's sour, but it's also so much more, and other than a little bit of slicing and dicing, this is relatively quick and easy to make. Add some pork to this, or some little fun-sized meatballs for a fantastic meal. Serve with extra sliced green onions on top.
Spicy Persimmon Chutney
This persimmon chutney is a tangy relish that's a nice variation on cranberry sauce.
Microwave Quesadilla
Quesadillas are a favorite with my family. With 3 grandkids away at college, this is an easy and economical recipe that they can make at their dorms. You can swap corn tortillas for the flour tortillas and any cheese that you like.
