#Comfort

Chicken fried rice — separate, chewy grains of day-old rice wok-tossed with egg, chicken and scallion in savory soy. The takeout comfort classic, with the secret to non-mushy rice.

Egg foo young — the Chinese-American takeout omelet: fluffy egg patties studded with shrimp, sprouts and scallion, smothered in a glossy savory brown gravy. Better than delivery, 30 minutes.

Malatang — the beloved Chinese street soup where skewers of meat, tofu, veggies and noodles simmer in a spicy, numbing mala broth. Build-your-own comfort in a bowl, easier than hot pot.
