Asian-inspired weeknight meals and noodle dishes

Hundreds of recipes by Marcus Lee – Asian-inspired noodles, rice bowls and quick dinners.

Profile:

Marcus Lee's recipes center on Asian-inspired home cooking: garlic stir-fries, sesame soba, shrimp lo mein, fried rice, Korean-style steak rice bowls and soothing chicken congee. Most of his work sits in Global Flavors, with a solid share of dinners that come together in 15 to 30 minutes, filed under Quick & Easy Meals.

The recipes lean on pantry staples such as soy sauce, sesame oil, rice, noodles, ginger and scallions, so a single shopping trip covers several dishes. Steps are kept short, times are stated plainly in the title and method, and many dishes cook in one pan to keep cleanup low.

Alongside the savory dinners, Marcus also covers Japanese-style sweets and snacks, including mochi ice cream, matcha cake, mango sago and crispy dashi tofu, plus technique-focused pieces like cooking rice properly or mixing a light tempura batter. Browse his recipes for noodle nights, rice bowls and fuss-free ways to bring more variety to the weekly menu.
