3 peng recipes

The original General Tso's chicken from Chef Peng: crisp-fried dark-meat chicken tossed in a tangy soy-and-vinegar sauce fired up with dried chilies. Savory and hot, not the sticky-sweet takeout version, and gluten-free with tamari.

Hands-off oven roast beef seared at high heat for one hour, then slow-cooked in the residual heat of a turned-off oven for five hours. Just one ingredient, zero fuss.

Chinese pork balls (gee yok beng) mix ground pork with fresh ginger, scallion, water chestnut, and soy, shaped into balls and deep-fried golden. Tender inside, crisp outside, and endlessly dip-able.
