Whether thrown together for a lightning-fast midweek lunch or prepared as the vibrant centerpiece for a dinner gathering, they offer an effortless way to bring bold textures to the table.

The selection below showcases the full breadth of what this versatile ingredient can do across different culinary traditions. Explore comforting wok-tossed classics rich with toasted sesame and crisp vegetables, fiery Thai-style salads loaded with lime juice and herbs, delicate fillings tucked into golden spring rolls, and warming broths that comfort with every spoonful.
