In the Kitchen With: Melissa Clark’s Sticky Tamarind Chicken – Design*Sponge

Food writer and cookbook author Melissa Clark’s name is synonymous with easy-to-make, delicious food, in my book. When I heard the news that Melissa’s new book, Dinner, would be coming out this year, I was counting down the days until its release. Upon opening the book, I was immediately drawn to the Sticky Tamarind Chicken with Crisp Lettuce recipe because it includes many of the flavors I so love in Asian food. If you don’t already keep fish sauce, tamarind paste, and sesame oil in your pantry, now’s the time to start! This incredibly easy recipe comes together in 40 minutes, including cooking time. A perfect recipe to add to your arsenal! —Kristina
