Dinner

A stir-fry is a simple and versatile dish that can be made with any number of veggies. Prep everything in advance—once you start, it comes together quickly.

Dumplings are a perfect dish to make when you have extra hands around to fill and pinch. Ground pork is a common protein for jiaozi, but you could use ground turkey, shrimp or tofu, too.

After a quick dip in boiling water, tender-crisp green beans are drenched in nutty brown butter and topped with toasted almonds.

Tender-crisp green beans get a major flavour upgrade with the addition of nutty, garlicky pesto (homemade or store-bought).

Five-spice powder, lime juice and brown sugar add sweet and spicy kick to grilled chicken breasts.
