| Easy, flexible, versatile. No images? Click here  Easy, Flavorful Grain SaladsWe rely heavily on grain and rice salads in the wintertime, packing them with the filling, nutrient-dense ingredients they need to become a hearty meal. But then again, the prospect of a dish that requires just one round of cooking, yet can last for days in the refrigerator, is pretty enticing when the temperature starts to rise. Because grain salads are so flexible, you can do a lot of improvising, too, using them as vehicles for whatever tasty in-season produce you happen to have picked up recently. And, at the end of the day, they're just plain easy, a feature we can appreciate all year long. Asparagus and peas with farro, cucumber and tomato with quinoa, and mango and avocado with black rice are just a few of the fresh, seasonally appropriate combinations you'll find in the recipes listed below. If you need a recap of various grains and how to use them, check our comprehensive guide to whole grains here.

Hot and numbing shredded lamb noodle soup
| No images? Click here  Hot and Numbing Shredded Lamb Noodle Soup Lamb soup is a common dish in Central China, traditionally served with bread. This is a funky but streamlined take on that soup—and a good way to enjoy some hand-pulled noodles. Using a pressure cooker speeds the process up considerably, and generates a deeply flavorful broth. And the best part? You can use all that tender, collagen-rich lamb to make a tasty and rich shredded meat topping that’s heavy on cumin, dried chilies, and a touch of mala flavor. The kitchen essential  Fine-Mesh Strainer A fine mesh strainer makes for a clear broth with maximum flavor. More noodle soup recipes!

The best way to grate cheese for pasta
| Box Grater or The Microplane? No images? Click here   The Best Way to Grate Cheese for Pasta Need finely grated cheese for pasta? We look at how much using a Microplane or a box grater matters when it comes to mass, taste, aroma, and making a good sauce. Do your own testing!  Oxo's box grater is a lot sharper than many of the box graters we've used before. Its fine teeth aren't quite as speedy as a Microplane, but they're not nearly as terrible as those dull, old punch-out rasps we've long ago given up on.  In our test, the Microplane rained down fluffy tufts of finely shaven cheese, and it did it so effortlessly. Even better, half the cheese didn't remain glued to the grater, never to be recovered.
