Slow Cooker Taiwanese Beef Noodle Soup - Woks of Life

 

As we cook through January, we are highlighting all of the whole spices collecting in our cabinets. This Taiwanese Beef Noodle soup uses a satchel of nine favorites and was a perfect dinner during Portland’s first snowy week, just days before the start of Lunar New Year.

Roasted Potatoes

We learned how to do these potatoes when we lived in the UK. The outside gets beautifully browned and crispy, while the inside stays fluffy.
Beef Standing Rib Roast

This is a virtually fool-proof way to prepare a stunning beef rib roast for a British Winter Feast. We learned this technique when we lived in England and especially love the crispy outside and tender and flavorful inner cuts.
Ginger Spiced Yule Log

Ginger Spiced Yule Log

Norway is actually the birthplace of the Yule Log, designed as a way to celebrate the solstice. This technique for sponge cakes is so much less intimidating than it looks and can be filled with so many different flavors!

Spanakopita Triangles | Feta, Spinach, and Tzatziki Spice Blend

A delicious bite of flaky phyllo filled with creamy, garlicky spinach and feta deliciousness. Including SKORDO Tzatziki Spice Blend elevates the flavor with premium garlic, dill, onion, and lemon zest. We love serving these for holiday parties - there are never any left! 
Spice-Infused Couscous with Baharat Candied Pistachios, Fall Vegetables and Sumac Dressing

Spice-Infused Couscous with Baharat Candied Pistachios, Fall Vegetables and Sumac Dressing

A stunning dish with flavors as captivating as the colors of the season. Here we perfumed the couscous with warm, whole spices, roasted the vegetables to heighten their natural sweetness, and balanced those flavors with bright sumac and lemon dressing and sweet-warm-salty Baharat spiced pistachios. We tossed it all together with arugula create a beautifully bright salad, perfect for crispy fall weather.

Karonis Family Greek Chicken (Chicken Kapama)

This flavorful chicken braise combines cinnamon with a hearty tomato sauce to create a comforting and aromatic Greek dish.  Use some of the sauce to flavor some orzo and you’ve got a tasty side that nicely complements the chicken.  And as a bonus, your kitchen will smell amazing!
Vegan Mushroom Dumplings

Vegan Mushroom Dumplings

Dumplings, Potstickers, Wontons- the choice of wrapper, cooking technique, filling, and folding style determine what's what but they are truly all delicious!  Dried mushroom blends are perfect for this recipe. Our Asian Sesame Tuna Rub is the perfect complimentary seasoning for a dipping sauce and if you're feeling ambitious- Bowls & Broths offers a series of dumplings wrapper recipes and techniques.

Mushroom Risotto

Mushroom Risotto

Dried mushroom blends allow for gourmet mushroom meals any time of year. For this risotto we used a blend of dried morels, boletes, oyster mushrooms, chanterelles and lobster mushrooms. Paired with our salt-free Poultry Seasoning, we were able to balance the sodium content from the cheese and enjoy cozy fall flavors.
