On the days you feel crummy, you won't have the energy to create any elixirs or health-supporting concoctions - which is all the more reason why you should act preemptively. You can prepare an immunity-boosting ginger shot to put back the next time a whisper of any illness strikes by following wellness coach, Miriam Hahn's recipe for ginger root wellness shots. The feel-good recipe requires only two ingredients and can be made ahead of time.

While quick in preparation, this robust one-pot stew from Baan Mae in Washington, DC (one of our Best New Restaurants of 2025), boasts a complex, salty-sweet flavor thanks to a clever combination of caramelized sugar, lychee, warming spices, and fiery ginger. The trick is to fully cook your sugar. Allowing it to properly caramelize is what gives the stew its complex flavor, so be patient and allow it to deepen in color before adding your sauce.
