advice for fall planting in Southern US

I would be interested in your recommendations for Asian vegetables that are suited for fall -winter growing in central North Carolina. It's too hot here for summer cultivation, and spring is very risky, (very short spring) so I'd like to try fall.

Our earliest frost is 15 October. January gets to low 20s or teens, but I can provide some cover for something like a cold frame. I would be using a raised bed on the south side of the house.

I am particularly interested in the following, but I solicit suggestions, in particular varieties that do well in a long fall that starts out pretty hot. I am prepared to germinate indoors, to have a cooler-than-outside temperature for germination. So, included in my request for advice, is how cool does it need to be when I set them out?
