Quick & Delicious: Dishes Inspired by International Cuisines

Inspired by international cuisines, these dishes are bound to impress even the most well-traveled palate. (And you won’t need to run to the specialty grocery to find the ingredients—they’re available in most well-stocked super­markets.) Once you’ve discovered your favorites, you can use elements of these recipes in different ways: Toss leftover sauce from the Thai chicken into noodles, or serve it as a dipping sauce for dumplings or satays. Use the Indian shrimp marinade to flavor chicken or lamb. Or for a great wrap sandwich, roll up the Yucatán pork and its avocado salad in corn or flour tortillas.
