The original Peachy Chicken recipe has been printed on the back of the Heinz Malt Vinegar bottle for many years. Peaches paired with chicken just go together extremely well. The chicken cooked in peach sauce just melts in your mouth and the sauce itself has a sweet & sour flavor that is just amazing.
Malt vinegar transforms simple baked chicken into something incredibly special! Made from malted grains of barley, malt vinegar has a tart flavor and can help to enhance the flavors of other foods it is paired with. It is best known for topping fish and chips.
Malt vinegar is produced from the same grains that are used for making beer, and so it has a similar lemony, nutty, and caramel flavor profile as malted ale. It can range in color from light to dark brown while some distilled varieties are clear.
Usually found in condiment or bakery aisles at the grocery store, it’s become a culinary mainstay in British and Canadian cuisines.

Recipe Notes
• If malt vinegar is not available, try using apple cider vinegar as a substitute.
Egg roll soup is a modern culinary creation that reimagines the flavors of a traditional Chinese American egg roll in a deconstructed, liquid form, aiming to capture the flavor profile of the fried appetizer (typically cabbage, carrots, and pork or sausage) without the labor-intensive wrapping and deep-frying process.
The North American egg roll itself was invented in New York City in the early 1930s as a variation of traditional Chinese spring rolls. While some traditional, Chinese-influenced soups use similar ingredients (like egg drop soup), egg roll soup specifically mimics the savory, cabbage-heavy filling of the North American-born fried egg roll.
The soup gained popularity in the 2010s as part of the ‘deconstructed’ food movement and the rise of specialty diets like Paleo, Keto, and Whole30. Just as modern egg rolls often contain no egg in the filling, egg roll soup rarely includes eggs, instead focusing on the savory-umami profile created by sesame oil, garlic, and ginger. To mimic the crunch of the missing wrapper, many versions are topped with fried wonton strips or crispy noodles.

Instructions
In a large pot, heat vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the ground pork (or chicken) & cook until browned, breaking it up with a spoon.
Add the onion, garlic & grated ginger to the pot. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, until fragrant & the onion is softened.
Stir in the shredded cabbage & carrots, cooking for an additional 2 minutes until the vegetables begin to soften.
Pour in the chicken broth, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil & black pepper. Bring the soup to a simmer over medium heat.
If desired, add red pepper flakes for a spicy kick. Simmer the soup for 10-15 minutes until the vegetables are tender & flavors are well combined.
Serve hot, garnished with sliced green onions.
Of course, you can eat casseroles all year long, but they hold a special spot in our hearts when the crisp days of fall roll around. A longtime staple in North America’s cuisine, these baked concoctions appear at family reunions, holiday gatherings, potlucks, and more.
In terms of comfort food, casseroles are high on the list of our favorite autumn dishes. Double points if they have a good amount of cheese, and triple points if they also contain veggies. There are plenty more reasons to love them. They’re hearty, super-easy to prepare, the perfect dish for freezing and keeping in stock as well as being adjustable to whatever size you need.
This chicken zucchini bake is a great combination of cheesy chicken and vegetables that can be baked individually or as one casserole.

Despite the similarities in Asian cuisines, there are marked differences. Korean cuisine reflects a complex interaction of the natural environment and different cultural trends.
Korean food is bold, unique and well worth exploring. Strangely enough, it never has achieved the stature of Chinese food in North America and in recent years has been overtaken by Thai and Vietnamese.
Korean cuisine is largely based on meat, rice, vegetables and seafood. Dairy is fairly absent from the traditional diet.
The key ingredients needed in Korean cooking are garlic, fresh ginger, green onions, sesame seeds and oil, rice vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, dried red chilies and hoisin sauce. Each contributes to the oriental rule of five flavors: sweet, hot, sour, salty and bitter. Traditionally, Koreans also have tried to adhere to an arrangement of five colors in their meals: red, yellow, green, white and black.
Balancing flavor is both science and an art. The five taste elements build our overall perception of flavor. When each element is perfectly balanced, not only on the plate, but across the entire meal, its just amazing!
