Xoi Man Sticky Rice Recipe with Chinese Sausage, Chicken, Shrimp
Xoi man - sticky rice with Chinese sausage, chicken, shrimp and shredded pork was a common dish my mom would make for weekend picnics at the park or as a side dishes to barbecues. "Man" means salty in Vietnamese but in this context it's more like savory to distinguishing it from the many sweet sticky rice recipes--as this is a hearty meal all in one composed of sticky rice,

Xoi Bap Sticky Rice with Hominy and Mung beans
Xoi bap is a sweet and savory sticky rice that we love to eat. In the street corners of Vietnam, students and workers alike, scurry to grab a hot serving of xoi bap wrapped in banana leaves before rushing off to school or work. Unwrapping the banana leaves reveal a great mixture of sticky rice, subtly sweet hominy (bap means corn), mung beans, topped with fried shallots and sugar. Both sweet and savory, we think it's not just for great for breakfast but good anytime of day. In this case, the banana leaves are used more as a serving vessel and not essential to the recipe.
Banh Day Recipe Vietnamese Sticky Rice Cake
Banh day (pronounced yầy) is a very simple and traditional rice cake with a great story. Vietnamese legend has it that the wise King Hung Vuong the VI had a competition to decide which one of his 22 sons was going to succeed him on the throne. The competition was to find the most tasty dish in the country and serve it to the King during the last day of the lunar month. The person with the tastiest dish would inherit the throne (Top Chef eat your heart out). So each prince went off and scoured the land and seas in search of rare delicacies to make that perfect dish. The exception was one prince name Lang Lieu (Tiet Lieu).
Cha Lua Vietnamese Ham Recipe
Cha lua or gio lua (Vietnamese ham/sausage) is another common item on the traditional Tet menu. As we mention, Tet is a time for families to come together and celebrate the new year with a fresh start. But it's also a time to remember and honor the past. During Tet, cha lua is frequently used as an offering to relatives that have passed and placed before the ancestral alter in each home. And of course since it's a filling for the traditional new year snack banh day (sticky rice cakes), you can't have a shortage of cha lua around the house during Tet.
Banh Cuon Vietnamese Steam Rice Rolls
Banh Cuon (Vietnamese Steamed Rice Rolls/Crepes) is the perfect holiday detox food. After the last Thanksgiving holiday back in Detroit, Michigan we needed something light, delicate, and yet flavorful to detox after our feast. So when my mom asked us what wanted to eat the weekend after thanksgiving dinner, we immediately requested some banh cuon. Banh cuon is a very light crepe often with ground pork, minced wood ear mushroom, and onions and eaten with Vietnamese ham (cha lua), steamed beansprouts, and cucumbers. Another variation arising from a village in Northern Vietnam famous for their banh cuon is called banh cuon "Thanh Tri" a style where the crepe is not rolled but kept in sheets without any filling, and sprinkled with fried onions.

How to Make Kim Chi
Of the countless varieties of kim chi that are made in Korea, by far the most common and celebrated version is made with Napa cabbage.
Kim chi that's made with cabbage is loaded with indole-3-carbinol (I3C), a compound that is well recognized as a powerful cancer-fighting compound. Numerous studies indicate that I3C can offer protection against many different types of cancer and may even stop the growth of existing tumors.
You could hop on over to a local Korean market to buy a bottle of kim chi, but it may not be as healthy as you'd like, since most commercially prepared varieties are made with white sugar and shrimp.
To make healthy kim chi that still has lots of flavor and health-promoting compounds, start with a whole head of fresh Napa cabbage:

How to Make Pumpkin Puree
Next time you reach out for that can of pumpkin puree in your market – “STOP”! Why waste money (and probably nutrition) with a canned pumpkin when you can make the real thing in 30-45 minutes at home without any major effort. Its so simple and fresh tasting that you would sure think twice the next time you even hear the word “canned”! The taste of your baked goods or any other recipe just becomes so much better by using home made pumpkin puree. The recipe is so simple that it would be a shame not to try it at least once!
