To create perfectly browned and crisp mushrooms, a combination of steaming and searing is helpful. First, steam the sliced mushrooms in a covered pot to forcefully remove their water and prevent them from soaking up fat. (Soggy and greasy mushrooms, begone.) Then, add the butter and let the mushrooms sear, stirring only occasionally, until crusty, then pour in a little water or wine to pick up the flavorful browned bits in the pot. Serve wherever you’d like a hit of savoriness: alongside air-fryer steak or congee, or in omelets or quesadillas. Refrigerate for up to 4 days, or freeze for up to 6 months. (There’s no need to thaw before warming.)

Steaming a whole fish is an excellent, and speedy, way to cook. The fish here, dabbed with ginger and a few other aromatics, is transformed by the process, and delivers a sweet, near-melting succulence. The pan juices are the only sauce necessary. A traditional bamboo steamer is great to have, but any sizable steamer will work, or you can rig up a steamer using a large pot. Make sure that the makeshift rack sits an inch or so above the boiling water, and that the pot has a lid.

Make some instant ramen. Slide an egg into the hot broth, then some butter. Crown the steaming noodles with slices of American cheese. Scatter a bunch of toasted sesame seeds and chopped scallions across the top, if you want to. Hardly a recipe! But for the chef Roy Choi, who gave it to The Times in 2014, doctored instant ramen is a taste of Korean-American straight-from-the-bag soul food. The butter, egg and cheese help coat the ramen noodles and deepen their flavor. “It’s our snack, it’s our peanut butter and jelly sandwich, it’s our bowl of cereal,” Mr. Choi said. “It’s something that has been a part of my life forever.”
