Pineapple Chiffon Pie
As far as I’m concerned, this pie is what canned crushed pineapple was born to do! The filling is a dream, with bits of pineapple suspended in a cloud-like custard.
Kau Yuke (Steamed Pot Roast of Pork)
Simple Takuwan
Takuwan (takuan) is pickled daikon, a type of tsukemono, or preserved vegetable. In our house, we called tsukemono, “ko-ko.” Mom would serve just a tiny portion of ko-ko, nestled up against the rice, with every dinner. Here’s a recipe for this ko-ko that is usually bright yellow, but if you are wary of food coloring, you are welcome to leave it out.
