Spinach fettuccini with golden chanterelles and lacinato kale looks like a restaurant plate and behaves like a weeknight dinner — 30 minutes, one big pan. Chanterelles need almost nothing: hot oil, a little thyme and shallot, restraint. The starchy pasta water turns...
Vegetarian kimchi fried rice — kimchi bokkeumbap — is a 30-minute weeknight rescue built on day-old rice, pressed tofu, and a jar of kimchi. The trick is a hot pan and cold rice. Everything else is flexible, which is exactly what a Wednesday needs. A 30-Minute Wonder...
