If you have around 45 minutes to spend in the kitchen, Hanoi Beef and Rice Noodle Soup (Pho Bo) might be a great dairy free recipe to try. For $6.28 per serving, you get a main course that serves 6. One serving contains 956 calories, 56g of protein, and 47g of fat. If you have thai chiles, lime wedges, wide rice stick noodles, and a few other ingredients on hand, you can make it. To use up the star anise you could follow this main course with the Mini Star-Anise Scones as a dessert. Autumn will be even more special with this recipe.

Recommended wine: Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, Riesling

Chenin Blanc, Gewurztraminer, and Riesling are great choices for Asian. The best wine for Asian food depends on the cuisine and dish - of course - but these acidic whites pair with a number of traditional meals, spicy or not. The Dry Creek Vineyard Dry Chenin Blanc, Wine with a 5 out of 5 star rating seems like a good match. It costs about 15 dollars per bottle.
