▲ 5. Korean BBQ short ribs 

Short ribs are a cut of beef taken from the brisket, chuck, plate, or rib areas of beef cattle. They consist of a short portion of the rib bone and the surrounding meat, which varies in thickness.

Short ribs generally require long periods of cooking in order to break down the connective tissues in the meat and make the meat tender. Methods of preparation include braising, stewing, and sous-vide. Short ribs may also be barbecued, a popular method that subjects the beef to high heat in a relatively short period of time.

GalbiGalbi (Korean: 갈비), kalbi, galbi-gui(갈비구이), or grilled ribs is a type of gui (grilled dish) in Korean cuisine. "Galbi" is the Korean word for "rib", and the dish is usually made with beef short ribs.

Galbi is served raw, then cooked on tabletop grills usually by the diners themselves. The dish may be marinated in a sweet and savory sauce usually containing soy sauce, garlic, and sugar. Both non-marinated and marinated galbi are often featured in Korean barbecue.

Ingredients: Beef short ribs, onion,  garlic, salt, black pepper, sugar, Canola Oil
Sauce: Golden Dragon Teriyaki sauce, Lee Kam Kee Korean BBQ sauce, honeybeef stock, corn starch, water
Garnish: Tomato, cucumber






▲ 6. Chinese mustard greens Chicken Soup + Shrimp Roe Noodles

Brassica juncea, commonly brown mustard, Chinese mustard, Indian mustard, Korean green mustard, leaf mustard, Oriental mustard and vegetable mustard, is a species of mustard plant.

Mustard greens benefits include supporting liver function, balancing cholesterol, supporting eye and skin health,  helping lower cholesterol and supporting heart health.

Asian mustard greens are most often stir-fried or pickled (pickled mustard). A Southeast Asian dish called asam gai choy or kiam chai boey is often made with leftovers from a large meal. It involves stewing mustard greens with tamarind, dried chillies and leftover meat on the bone. Brassica juncea is also known as gai choi, siu gai choi, xiao jie cai, baby mustard, Chinese leaf mustard or mostaza.

Shrimp roe noodles or shrimp noodles are a variety of Chinese noodle popular in Hong Kong and Guangdong. One of the special characteristic that distinguish this noodle from the many other varieties of Chinese noodle is the salty shrimp roe forming tiny black spots on strips of the noodles.

Because this noodle has some taste of its own, the most common method of cooking is directly boiling the noodles. Soy sauce or additional flavorings can still be added. Depending on the noodle brand, the black dots may disappear after cooking.

▲ 7. Honey Garlic Grilled Cod Fish
 
Cod (pl.: cod) is the common name for the demersal fish genus Gadus, belonging to the family Gadidae.
The three most common species of cod are the Atlantic cod (Gadus morhua), which lives in the colder waters and deeper sea regions throughout the North Atlantic; the Pacific cod (Gadus macrocephalus), which is found in both eastern and western regions of the northern Pacific; and Greenland cod (Gadus ogac Richardson).

Gadiformes, also called the Anacanthini, are an order of ray-finned fish that include the cod, hakes, pollock, haddock, burbot, rocklings and moras, many of which are food fish of major commercial value.

Cod is a low-fat source of protein, making it an excellent choice for people who would like to reduce their fat intake and improve their heart health. Cod also contains a significant amount of iodine, which is an important mineral for thyroid function.
Cod is a good source of omega-3 and omega-6 fatty acids. It is also rich in vitamins B3, B12 and B6, niacin, as well as vitamins E, A, and C, and minerals like phosphorus.

Cod can be steamed, grilled,  pan fried and baked.

Gai lan, kai-lan, Chinese broccoli, or Chinese kale (Brassica oleracea var. alboglabra) is a leafy vegetable with thick, flat, glossy blue-green leaves with thick stems, and florets similar to (but much smaller than) broccoli.

Kai-lan like many vegetables are nutrient dense and contains a variety of healthy nutrients including vitamin A and C. These nutrients act as antioxidants that can protect your body against oxidative damage, may help to boost the immune system and reduce risk for certain cancers.

The stems and leaves of gai lan are eaten widely in Chinese cuisine; common preparations include gai lan stir-fried with ginger and garlic, and boiled or steamed and served with oyster sauce. It is also common in Vietnamese, Burmese and Thai cuisine.
