Falafel
How to make delicious and crispy falafel at home? Chickpea patties are easier to make than you might think. Fry up some falafel with this simple Middle Eastern recipe. This recipe has become our favorite way to make great falafel!
SERVES 20
INGREDIENTS:
1 1/4 cups dried chickpeas
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon ground cumin
1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
1/4 teaspoon cayenne powder
1/2 teaspoon baking powder
1 egg
4 tablespoons water
3 cups vegetable oil for frying
DIRECTIONS:
Place chickpeas in a large bowl and cover with 4 cups water. Cover and set aside to soak overnight.
Drain chickpeas and transfer to food processor along with the garlic. Pulse several times for about a minute until finely chopped, but not too grainy or mushy of a texture. It should just start to hold together.
Remove mixture from processor and mix in a bowl with the salt, spices, baking powder, egg, and water. Cover and refrigerate for 1 hour.
Heat oil to 350°F in a large skillet or heavy-bottomed medium saucepan.
Wet your hands and scoop a tablespoon of the mixture into the palm of your hands to form a ball about the size of a walnut. Also you may use a falafel scooper if you prefer to keep them uniform in size.
Place each falafel on a tray and deep-fry in 2 batches. Do not overcrowd the oil; it will lower the heat! Fry for 5 minutes until browned and cooked through.
Drain on paper towels and serve immediately. Enjoy!
Warm Potato Salad
This classic warm potato salad is a simple but tasty appetizer or side flavored with bacon and fresh parsley. No side dish can be easier or tastier than this!
SERVES 4
INGREDIENTS:
1 pound golden potatoes
4 slice bacon
1/4 cup olive oil
3 cloves garlic, minced
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/4 cup fresh parsley roughly chopped
1 tablespoon lemon zest
Chives for garnish
DIRECTIONS:
Boil the potatoes. Once they are done, drain and let cool.
When the potatoes are close to boiling, cut the bacon and fry it in a large skillet until crispy, about 10 minutes.
Turn the burner off for this step to allow the skillet to cool a bit. Take the bacon out of the skillet and transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.
In the skillet, add the olive oil over medium heat, add cooked potatoes, and cook for about 30 seconds.
Take the skillet off the heat and then add the garlic, cooked bacon, and parsley lemon zest. Toss to coat.
Season with salt and pepper and transfer potato salad to a serving bowl. Top with chives, serve warm, and enjoy.
Pork Gyoza
This pork gyoza recipe with dipping sauce is absolutely amazing! Gyoza are juicy on the inside and crispy on the outside. Skip ordering takeout and make these Japanese pan-fried dumplings that are so easy to make at home!
SERVES 20
INGREDIENTS:
1 package gyoza wrappers
1 pound ground pork
4 green onions chopped finely
Garlic cloves chopped finely
1 teaspoon ginger
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 cup cabbage chopped finely
1 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
DIRECTIONS:
Mix all the filling ingredients into a bowl and mix until well combined.
Open the gyoza wrappers and place a small amount of the pork mixture in the center of the wrapper. Dip your fingers in water and run it around the wrapper's edge so it will stick together. Fold the wrapper in half, forming a half-moon and with your fingers. Then create pleats around the edge to close the gyoza.
On stove top, turn heat to medium low. Place half of the oil in a frying pan. Wait a few seconds until the oil is warm and place the gyozas flat side down. Fry for 3 minutes without moving them.
Pour water into the pan and close it with a lid to steam the gyozas. Cook for 5 minutes until the skin becomes soft and the water is all evaporated.
Remove cover and let any remaining water evaporate. Add the extra oil and let the gyozas fry for 5 minutes. It's important not to try to move them before at least 2 minutes as the bottom may be stuck to the pan and the skin will tear.
Once the gyozas can be removed from pan, let it rest for a couple minutes. Serve with your favorite sauce while gyoza is still nice and warm. Enjoy!
Cream Cheese Rangoon
Cream cheese Rangoon made with a creamy center and crispy exterior! These are the perfect appetizer for your next Chinese takeout meal. They're super simple and quick to make at home, and your whole family will absolutely love this tasty appetizer!
SERVES 24
INGREDIENTS:
24 wonton wrappers
8 ounces cream cheese, softened
3 tablespoons scallions, minced
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
Vegetable oil for frying
DIRECTIONS:
In a small bowl, mix the cream cheese, scallions, garlic powder, and pepper. Mix together.
Preheat oil in a heavy-bottomed pot a couple inches high to 350°F.
Put 1 teaspoon in the middle of a wonton wrapper, and with your finger, add water to the edges. Push the four centers of each side into the middle and press them together.
Once the middle is connected from all four sides, connect the little wings coming out from the middle. Let sit while you make the remaining wontons. When you are ready to fry, begin with the wontons you made first; they'll be the driest.
Carefully place three Rangoons in the hot oil, letting them float around the pot until they are a nice golden brown. Use a spoon or spider to lift them from oil, then let them drain on paper towels.
Let the Rangoons cool for 5–10 minutes and immediately serve with sweet-and-sour dipping sauce. Enjoy!

1 egg
1 tablespoon soy sauce

20 egg roll wrappers
Vegetable oil for frying
DIRECTIONS:
In a medium skillet over medium heat, cook the pork. When it is halfway cooked, add ginger, garlic, and stir to coat the meat evenly. Continue to cook until the pork is no longer pink. Set aside.
In another large heavy pot, heat oil to 375°F or medium-high heat. In a separate bowl, combine the cabbage, carrots, green onions, black pepper, soy sauce, and sesame oil. Mix with pork mixture all together.
Place 1–2 tablespoons of filling about an inch from the point closest to you. Working away from you, fold the wrapper over the filling. Next fold in both
