The sun is out. It\u2019s time for the annual switch to iced coffee, or to buy Lambrusco and make a spritz. Summer is nigh! But, OK, let\u2019s still take a beat to revel in spring. Many of the recipes below are gloriously green, and all are just the right heft for this in-between moment. Best of all, they are legitimately easy to make. Here are five dishes to cook this week.<\/p>\n

1. Glazed Tofu With Chile and Star Anise<\/h3>\n

This sauce — a dark, star anise-spiced caramel intermingled with rice wine, soy sauce, ginger and scallions \u2014 builds sweet, acidic and umami notes as it coats and infuses tofu. Sichuan hui guo rou, or twice-cooked pork, inspired the technique which is used here with tofu: The blocks are first seared whole, then torn into bite-size pieces and returned to the pan, where the craggy edges absorb the sauce. Additions from your pantry, such as a spoonful of doubanjiang, or fermented broad bean paste, fermented black beans or chile oil can invite deeper, more complex flavors. Serve warm with steamed rice and stir-fried greens.<\/i><\/p>\n
