5 chinese corn recipes

Cantonese roast duck rubbed with hoisin, five spice, sherry, and brown bean sauce, then slow-roasted until the skin turns lacquered and crackling. A Chinatown classic at home.

Homemade Chinese baked pork buns (Cha Siu Bao) stuffed with savory barbecued pork in a sweet, glossy bread dough. Golden, pillowy, and packed with hoisin-ginger flavor in every bite.

Crispy deep-fried tofu triangles stuffed with curried tofu, mushrooms, and ginger in wonton wrappers. A fusion appetizer that's part samosa, part wonton, and totally addictive. Makes 30.

Peanuts are a symbol of longevity in Chinese culture. Feel free to vary the basic recipe by experimenting with different combinations of spices.

Fresh corn in a shatteringly light tempura batter, deep-fried until golden and lacy. Served with tentsuyu dipping sauce and grated daikon for a crisp Japanese-style appetizer.
