Chinese food minus the takeout menu? It’s possible to produce satisfying results that keep sodium and calories in check. This recipe calls for tofu that’s patted dry and sprinkled with cornstarch before baking, so it gets brown and crispy without deep frying. Serve over brown rice or cauliflower rice for a low carb meal.
Classic fried rice gets a twist in this recipe: we’re swapping in red quinoa, whose hearty texture complements a flavorful combination of sautéed cabbage, carrots, and shishito peppers. The velvety smooth yolk of a fried egg adds an extra layer of rich, savory flavor.

This Asian-style chicken gets a bright lift from wintry citrus in two ways: first, in a coating of togarashi seasoning (which includes dried orange peel) and then from the fresh orange juice we’re using to glaze the chicken in the pan while it cooks.
Togarashi (a favorite Japanese seasoning that highlights poppy seeds, dried orange peel, and more) makes for a zesty coating on flaky tilapia—perfectly matched by a bed of vegetables cooked with a savory-sweet sauce of miso paste, honey, and sesame oil.
