Details here: http://rasamalaysia.com/ginger-and-scallion-fish-recipe/2/. We increased the fish from 10 oz to 1.5 lbs (24 oz), which made the ingredient measurements a little challenging. (May 2017)
Korean spicy beef and radish soup

Chinese braised daikon with minced chicken
We tried this Omnivore Cookbook recipe: http://omnivorescookbook.com/braised-daikon/ We peeled one large daikon (approx. 2 lb) and cut it into jewel-shaped 2 inch diagonal chunks.

Lemon snack cake
Recipe here: http://www.onebrownmom.com/2015/01/lemon-snack-cake-with-variations.html?m=1 To increase the lemon flavor, we added the juice and zest of one lemon to the icing, in addition to the lemon zest added to the batter. We were low on powdered sugar, so the icing was thinner than normal, leading it to soak into the cake. Still very tasty. (Apr. 2017)
