A quick and easy lobster ceviche. The ultimate refreshing summer appetizer.

Seriously Asian: Thai Curries, Part One: Lobster in Yellow Curry Sauce

[Photographs: Chichi Wang] Taking a hiatus from my usual spoilsport-y self, I caved into the pressure of Halloween and served a menu built around orange foodstuffs. To start, a persimmon and daikon salad. To end, a kabocha cheesecake. The entrée...

Cantonese-Style Lobster With Ginger and Scallions

Large chunks of shell-on lobster stir-fried with scallions, ginger, hot peppers, and yellow chives in a lightly seasoned sauce. It's a mess to eat, but a delicious one.

Spicy Thai-Style Pomelo, Green Bean, and Zucchini Salad

Thai pomelos tend to be dryer and less sweet than their American-available counterparts, but that shouldn't stop you from using them in a Thai-inspired salad nonetheless. Heck, even bitter grapefruit would make a great addition to this salad that combines fiery heat, bitterness, and sweetness in perfect balance.

Spicy Thai Salad With Minced Pork (Larb) From 'Everyday Thai Cooking'

Katie Chin's larb in Everyday Thai Cooking is not a strictly authentic version. Instead of serving a meat-heavy plate with lettuce on the side, she tosses the (pre-ground) cooked pork with greens and a few extra vegetables. The authenticity police may cry foul.

Lobster Cantonese

Classic Mayo-Dressed New England Lobster Rolls

A lobster roll consists of chunks of tender, sweet lobster meat lightly napped in a thin coating of mayonnaise, all stuffed into a top-split, white-bread hot dog bun toasted in butter.

Thai Salad with Chicken and Lime Peanut Dressing

Thai Salad: The other day, I had a mega-craving for Thai food. But, alas, I didn’t have any Thai basil on hand, or rice noodles (because of course, like the uh…non-Thai person that I am, the things that I most associate with Thai cooking are pad gra prow (Thai basil stir-fry) and pad thai).
