Sea buckthorn berries are a unique-tasting fruit. They are tart and sweet all at once and remind me of citrus . . . and candy! They offer a ton of vitamin C and thus pair well with the spinach in this recipe for maximum iron absorption.

The rice keeps the cake together wonderfully. The mixed coconut flakes loosen up the dough a bit and the orange and mango give these Coconut Rice Cakes With Mango Sauce by Melanie Kröpfl a fruity, sweet and sour note.

7. Spicy Peanut Noodles

We’ve been obsessed with knife-cut noodles ever since being introduced to them through social media. Maybe you’ve seen videos of chefs effortlessly slicing noodles off a big block of dough directly into a pot of boiling water. These Spicy Peanut Noodles by Tiffani Thompson and Larone Thompson are prized for their texture, which is chewy but soft. When shopping for them in markets or online, look for dao xiao mian, knife-cut noodles or knife-shaved noodles. Adding peanut butter to this noodle recipe results in a dish that is creamy, crispy, tangy and spicy. In this case, the chili crisp is not optional! If you want to dial up the heat even more, swap the regular sesame oil for sesame chili oil.

8. Garlic-Chili Noodles

This Garlic-Chili Noodles by Tiffani Thompson and Larone Thompson is all about the chili oil, that fire engine–red elixir that’s a permanent fixture on the tables of every Sichuan restaurant. You could certainly buy a jar of it, but making it at home is surprisingly simple and the results are worth it. This chili oil is bold, fragrant and balanced—hot, but not blow-your-top hot. One of the best ways to enjoy freshly made Sichuan chili oil is, naturally, over noodles, in this case those great knife-cut wheat noodles from China. All it takes is some sliced scallions and cilantro (if you prefer) to complete the dish. If you find that you enjoy the chili oil as much as we do, consider making a double or triple batch to keep on hand; it lasts for weeks at room temperature.
