Cooking is another form of attention — to ingredients, to heat, to time.

Eight minutes, soy sauce, ginger, and hot oil. The simplest things done perfectly.

Lamb, carrot, onion and rice cooked together in one pot. Central Asian comfort food.

Air-dried overnight, honey-glazed, oven-roasted. Crispy skin is the whole point.
Cumin, chili flakes, salt. Nothing more is needed.
Boiled whole, pulled by hand, dipped in garlic and vinegar. Nomadic and primal.
Poached chicken, Sichuan chili oil, numbing peppercorns, sesame paste. Cold and alive.
Cast iron, high heat, butter basting. Medium-rare or nothing.
Doubanjiang, dried chilies, and dark soy. Spicier and more aggressive than Shanghainese.
Su Dongpo's recipe, unchanged for a thousand years. Three hours, Shaoxing wine, patience.
Daikon, beef brisket, spiced broth. Hong Kong winter in a clay pot.
