Asian style offers many good dishes. A Chinese dish called Dong Po has ginger, anise, black sauce, chicken stock, and wine. Rice is a good side dish. There is also a salted vegetable version with tomatoes, garlic, and soy sauce. There are numerous other traditionally Asian recipes that show how to cook this well.
