This is totally cheater-phô and it takes like 20min and uses leftovers and I love it.
It's roughly based on a recipe from Nigel Slater's Eat, but lazier.
Saute together in the bottom of a soup pot:
oil
1T soy sauce
1T fish sauce
1T mirin
1T honey
1c leftover chicken, cut into bites
[Serves 2 people who like large breakfasts]
Big mess of fruit, chopped. Stone fruits, apples, berries, or a mix. Something like:
3 peaches or
4 smaller apples or
2 apples and 1c blackberries or
2 apples and 2 plums
Sauté over medium in a 8-10" skillet with
2-4T butter (more is better, frankly)
(Serves 2 as a big breakfast, or more as a small one.)
Heat a skillet to medium, and fill with
1-2T lard (or oil, or butter, or a mix)
1 small onion, diced
Cook the onion for a little while, then add ~2c total of the following:
Bell peppers, diced
Cooked beans (rattlesnake, jacob's cattle, pinto, etc)
Tomato, diced

Citrus Cardamom Nut cake (gluten-free)
Preheat the oven to 350F. Line a 9x13 pan with parchment. (Or spray-oil, but this is a pretty sticky cake.)
6 egg yolks
3/4c sugar
Put in stand mixer with the whisk and blend for ~10 minutes. They'll get thick and pale and beautiful.
8oz toasted walnuts, almonds, or pecans, ground to a semi-fine consistency (think breadcrumbs, not flour)
1/2t ground cardamom
2.5oz breadcrumbs or gluten-free flour mix (we use Pamela's pancake/waffle mix for this)
1 T oil
4oz lamb/pork/sausage/whatever, ground or finely chopped
1 small onion, sliced
1 chile (optional)
1 lb cabbage, sliced
1/2 t salt
Heat a wok on high, then add the oil, meat, and onion and cook for 1-3 minutes.
Add the chile (if using) and stir-fry for another 30 seconds or so.
Add the cabbage, stir-fry briefly, then add salt and continue to stir-fry

Vietnamese food is delicious.
1/2 onion
2 t sugar
3/4 t black pepper
1 T maple syrup or honey
2.5 T fish sauce (our fave is Golden Boy with the laughing baby on the bottle)
3 T oil (grapeseed, canola, whatev)
Smush all that stuff together. I like to puree it in a mini-processor, but hand-mixed (w/ minced onion) works too.
2 lbs pork shoulder, cut into strips (~ 3 x 1 x 1/4" if you're feeling precise)
