Todd Richards\u2019 version stars the obligatory ham hock but is loaded with so much flavor that the hock can be omitted without the dish missing a flavor beat.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"section-kimchi-and-ketchup-fried-rice\"><span>Kimchi and Ketchup Fried Rice<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"4dfd6011-b3fa-49c6-a99f-c95a51cd08fd\">Once you start being accustomed to cooking fried rice, there is a roteness to the move. You will generally reach for the same aromatics and additions, whether those be ginger and egg, or ham and green onions. It is then a treat to quiver the familiar, and <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/tastecooking.com\/recipes\/kimchi-ketchup-fried-rice\/\" target=\"_blank\" data-url=\"https:\/\/tastecooking.com\/recipes\/kimchi-ketchup-fried-rice\/\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\"><u>this fried rice<\/u><\/a> remains simple to execute.

Unless, of course, you were always adding those all along.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"section-perfect-poached-eggs\"><span>Perfect Poached Eggs<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"b5a9f8e3-24a1-4d60-804b-2c001e512169\">So simple as to barely be a recipe, Mei Lin\u2019s <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/shorts\/C4H0dyQCi2E?si=L8wLGXRHRstCTVA0\" target=\"_blank\" data-url=\"https:\/\/youtube.com\/shorts\/C4H0dyQCi2E?si=L8wLGXRHRstCTVA0\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\"><u>game-changing technique<\/u><\/a> for poached eggs guarantees intact whites and runny yolks. You simply combine two parts water to one part vinegar. Then, about 30 minutes before you\u2019re going to serve your eggs, crack however many eggs you are going to cook into the water-vinegar bath. The outside of the eggs essentially cure, tightening the whites. When you poach the eggs, the whites don\u2019t spread into wandering filaments. Brunch, you\u2019re welcome.<\/p>\n<h3 id=\"section-totchos-tater-tot-nachos\"><span>Totchos (Tater Tot Nachos)<\/span><\/h3>\n<p id=\"4a4f9034-486e-46dd-ad2f-54afeab35175\">Nachos are superb; <a data-analytics-id=\"inline-link\" href=\"https:\/\/www.seriouseats.com\/totchos-tater-tots-nachos-cheese-sauce-tomato-salsa-chorizo-pickled-jalapenos\" target=\"_blank\" data-url=\"https:\/\/www.seriouseats.com\/totchos-tater-tots-nachos-cheese-sauce-tomato-salsa-chorizo-pickled-jalapenos\" referrerpolicy=\"no-referrer-when-downgrade\" data-hl-processed=\"none\" data-mrf-recirculation=\"inline-link\"><u>totchos<\/u><\/a> are just a whole other delight unto themselves.
