Have you ever had congee? This silky, savory rice porridge is an everyday breakfast in China — and indeed, in many parts of the world, where it goes by names like jook, khao tom moo, and arroz caldo. Obviously, if you’re not already in the know when it comes to this breakfast, you’d better listen up. You’re in for a real treat.
Desserts that have the ability to come together in a matter of minutes get big points in my book. Sometimes you just need a last-minute dessert. Nothing fancy — just something warm and blissfully satisfying to calm your sweet tooth.
And sometimes the answer lies in your leftover rice from dinner. Don’t be so quick to relegate it to fried rice or fritters — it could be your answer to an easy five-minute dessert for two.
This began pretty harmlessly; my husband told me recently that whatever magic they roll buffalo wings in (basically: a lot of butter and Frank’s hot sauce) was unquestionably one of his favorite flavors on earth. (I put the jar of Nutella in the cabinet on notice.) A few days later, I spotted an ode to buffalo wings in the format of caramel popcorn and sent him the link, joking that I’d probably regret it. I shouldn’t have joked. It quickly became clear that to know that this popcorn existed and to not make was an act of cruelty; why so mean, Deb? Is writing a cookbook, running a website, occasionally cooking dinner and mashing up sweet potatoes for the little sweet potato really a higher kitchen calling than buffalo wing popcorn? And so I made it, but it looked rather sad and lonely in the bowl by itself so then I made some blue cheese dressing on the side with celery to dip into it and, lo, it was wonderful and the story should end here.
But you don’t need me to tell you how to make Buffalo Wing Popcorn, Bon Appetit can do that for me. Instead I’ll tell you what happened next which was that the miso I’d picked up for a different recipe started calling to me and I remembered all of the miso caramel sauces that cropped on menus and recipe pages a couple years ago and had to find out what it would do to caramel corn.

The signs of a good party are as follows: good friends, good drinks, and really (really) good wings. When there’s a whole basket of crispy wings coated with a succulent sweet, savory, or spicy sauce, you can bet no one’s eating just one.
