Often listed as Egg Drop Soup in Chinese restaurants, this dishs poetic name of Egg Flower Soup celebrates the way eggs "blossom" as they are stirred gently into simmering stock. If you use canned broth or frozen chicken stock, this soup makes a perfect busy-night dish. If you make chicken stock, this dish showcases its deep flavor with delicious simplicity. Either way, Egg Flower Soup rounds out any rice-centered meal, and it can be served in big bowls over rice as a one-dish dinner. Plan to stir in the eggs just before serving for the most wonderful texture and beauty.

Consider pho, a small word for a big bowl of noodles in soup. The soup is clear delicate, and redolent of cinnamon, star anise, and ginger. The noodles swirl just below the surface of the steaming broth, barely visible beneath slices of beef, slivers of onion, and a tumble of crisp bean sprouts. A miniscule mountain of aromatic herbs, big green slices of chili, and a chunk of lime attend the bowl, for seasoning everything just so. Pho gives nourishment and pleasure to anyone who sits down to enjoy a bowl. For Vietnamese people far from home, eating pho can set things right, restore the spirit, touch the heart. Pho is a small word for a big, steaming, herb-laden bowl of comfort food. This recipe provides a blueprint for a streamlined home version of pho. It involves a few steps, but none of them is difficult, and with good company and several pairs of hands, everything can be ready in under an hour. Pho takes a little more time than some dishes, but it gives you a memorable, delicious reward.

This classic Chinese dish is enjoyed throughout Asia, both in fine restaurants and in simple cafs. The standard vegetable used is a sturdy member of the cabbage family known as gai Ian in Cantonese dialect and jie Ian in Mandarin. I love this version using broccoli, which is easy to find, simple to trim, and cooks faster than gai Ian.
