Handpicked traditional recipes from around the world
Classic Russian Borscht
A hearty and iconic Russian beet soup, featuring tender beef, vibrant beets, shredded cabbage, and potatoes, simmered in a rich broth and traditionally served with a dollop of sour cream. This soup is even better the next day!
Nasi Goreng
Indonesia's beloved national fried rice, characterized by its smoky, sweet, and savory profile derived from kecap manis (sweet soy sauce) and terasi (shrimp paste). This recipe is elevated with tender chicken or shrimp and crowned with a perfectly fried egg and crispy fried shallots.
Gyoza
Authentic Japanese pan-fried dumplings (gyoza) featuring a savory and juicy filling of ground pork, finely chopped napa cabbage, and aromatic seasonings, all encased in delicate wrappers. They are expertly pan-fried to achieve a delightful contrast: a crispy, golden-brown bottom and a tender, steamed top. Perfect as an appetizer or a light meal.
Arroz Marinero Ecuatoriano
Arroz Marinero is a vibrant and flavorful Ecuadorian rice dish packed with a variety of fresh seafood. Cooked in a savory broth infused with aromatic vegetables and spices, it's a coastal delicacy that brings the taste of the ocean to your plate.
Yakitori
Classic Japanese yakitori featuring tender, bite-sized pieces of chicken thigh and skin, grilled to perfection and brushed with a rich, sweet-savory tare sauce. Traditionally cooked over binchลtan charcoal for a distinct smoky flavor.
Bรกnh Xรจo
Crispy, savory turmeric-infused crepes filled with succulent shrimp, tender pork, and fresh bean sprouts. Named for the characteristic 'sizzle' sound they make when cooking, Bรกnh Xรจo is a delightful and interactive street food experience.
