This month, please welcome back Aaron Hutcherson and his meal plans! Aaron is a regular contributor here on Simply Recipes and the blogger behind The Hungry Hutch.

For the most part, this week’s recipes lean towards Asian ingredients and dishes. There’s miso—a salty and savory Japanese fermented soybean paste usually found in the refrigerated section of the grocery store—in one preparation, ginger flavors a sauce to go with pork chops in another dish, a quick steak stir fry, and pad Thai you don’t have to get delivered.

Also, this is usually the time of the year when many of the end-of-year holiday parties start to happen. So whether you’re hosting one this year or want to be an extra helpful guest, then this recipe for honey mulled wine is sure to put everyone in a festive spirit.
