This is one of those times when just a few ingredients pay out big, resulting in a rice dish that bursts with garlic flavor. This recipe is from Melissa Miranda, the chef-owner of Seattle’s Musang, a Filipinx community space and restaurant.

Recipe notes

Scallion-Speckled Rice

Scallion-infused oil, or pa gireum in Korean, is a fragrant way to upgrade a pot of rice.

Spicy Eggplant Frittata

Silky Japanese eggplant and fiery serrano chile unite in this no-fuss frittata that’s brunch-ready, dinner-worthy, and wildly good.

Chickpeas With 40 Garlic Cloves

Braising canned chickpeas in chicken stock and olive oil makes them unbelievably tender and buttery. This is worth the effort of peeling 40 cloves of garlic.

Quick Butter-Braised Tomatoes and Dumplings

Store-bought dumplings, fresh tomatoes, butter, and soy sauce simmer away for dinner in a flash.

Corn Furikake Fried Rice

The first thing you should make with sweet summer corn.

Silken Tofu With Black Bean Garlic Sauce

A homemade black bean sauce is better than anything you can find in the grocery store. Plus, the 15-minute dinner you can make with it.

Sweet and Spicy Zucchini

A punchy vinaigrette of preserved lemon and hot chile animates seared zucchini. A simple solution for summer's most prolific vegetable.

Spanish Shrimp and Rice with Saffron Mayo

Use the dregs of that jar of marinara in your fridge to cook rice and shrimp in this one-skillet weeknight dinner.
