Pommes Anna Layered Potatoes with Garlic Herb Butter

Pommes Anna (or Potato Anna) is a classic French dish of buttery sliced potatoes stacked into a cake-like form that is baked until tender on the inside and crisp on the edges. The signature presentation of a Pommes Anna is flipped over onto a serving dish where the golden brown bottom becomes the top. You must have a really good non-stick pan or a really well-seasoned cast iron pan to pull it off. Do practice this dish before serving it to guests at a dinner party. Once you can comfortably pull this off, it is a rather satisfying culinary triumph!

Beef Rolls with Enoki and Veggies

My family loves these Beef Rolls with Enoki and Veggies.

They are soo good β€” with all that sauce β€” served on rice! Once the bundles are prepared, they cook in a matter of minutes right in the pan along with the sauce. Faster than the time it takes to cook the rice. Dinner is served!

This SHANGHAI β€œVEGETABLE RICE” is a simple comfort food of my childhood. It is the kind of humble home cooking that I love nd crave.

Growing up, we simply called this β€œchoy faan” or leafy vegetable rice.
