Shortcut Dumpling Soup

Shortcut Dumpling Soup

You'll be amazed what a quick simmer with fresh ginger and scallions will do for boxed chicken broth. Throw in frozen pot stickers (Chinese dumplings), edamame and red cabbage for a nutritious dinner that's ready in 30 minutes.Shortcut Dumpling Soup

Pork Ramen

Pork Ramen

The raging ramen restaurant fad has taught us that this centuries-old Japanese dish has approximately nothing to do with dorm-room fare. Our version features succulent pork shoulder, poached egg, bok choy, enoki mushrooms, crisp nori (seaweed) and a splash of chili oil. (Try doing all that in a Styrofoam cup.)Pork Ramen

Pad Thai Soup

Pad Thai Soup

We reimagined the traditionally sticky noodle stir-fry as a speedy soup. Peanuts, cilantro, lime zest and tangy tamarind fruit lend spot-on takeout flavor to rice noodles, chicken and zucchini.Pad Thai Soup

Spicy Shrimp Tom-Yum

Spicy Shrimp Tom-Yum

This classic Thai soup usually starts with simmering shrimp shells to make stock. We opted for a shortcut, adding tomato, mushroom and shrimp to boxed seafood stock that we flavored with lemongrass and galangal (a knobby cousin to ginger).Spicy Shrimp Tom-Yum

Originally sold as street food in China, this spicy dish features ground pork, lo mein noodles and a dark broth flavored with five-spice powder, black bean paste and black vinegar. We added snow peas and Chinese broccoli for color and nutrition.Szechuan Dan Dan

Fusion Bowl with Tofu and Soft-Cooked Egg

Fusion Bowl with Tofu and Soft-Cooked Egg

Carrot matchsticks, shiitake mushrooms and tender Napa cabbage hide in a tangle of chewy udon noodles. The tofu acts like a sponge, soaking up a sweet-and-spicy honey-Sriracha marinade.Fusion Bowl with Tofu and Soft-Cooked Egg
