Stir-fried curry green beans with black eyed peasI love it when I stumble on a recipe that puts together ingredients I love, but wouldn't have thought of combining, and then far exceeds my expectations. This recipe, which I adapted from a new book we bought called Tangy, Tart, Hot & Sweet by Padma Lakshimi, really shines. She encourages the use of chinese long beans instead of… |

Eggplant DonburiAs a Japanese american, I have a soft spot for donburi (Japanese term for just about anything served over rice). Our kids love it too. We mix up a warm bowl of brown and white rice and cover it with something warm, salty, sweet, and occasionally a bit spicy. This is rib sticking good, and best served in fall, winter or the early… |

Fried Rice with TempehThis is a delicious and healthy way to have fried rice. The tempeh provides a salty nuttiness similar to adding bacon, but with healthy goodness too. We tend to throw in whatever we have on hand, and the recipe below sort of demonstrates that. Using this method and sauce, you can add just about anything to the fried rice and it… |

Seitan and Apple Stir Fry with Soba NoodlesThis is a very satisfying dish with something for everyone. It incorporates fruit, veggies and "pasta" along with terrific flavorings and a "meat substitute" that even the carnivortes in the family will love. |

Crunchy Long Beans With Sesame SeedsThis is just a simple vegetable dish I'd discovered during my last Shopping & Dining Trip in Bangkok. I was spell-bound the minute I took a bite into this dish at a Thai-Chinese Restaurant near Conrad Bangkok. Interestingly, it's spicy, very spicy & terribly salty. They've added peppercorns, dried chilli & something I've never… |

Squash In A Spice Paste Done Pronto!This has been one hell of a week, one of those 7 day stretches that includes everything on lifes' smorgey...except dental. Of course the week's not over yet. It's been a week of some nerves, some loss, some traveling, some stress and the general sense of just being unable to catch up. That said, I can't wait for Monday to start the… |

Stir-Fried Broccoli with Chili-Garlic SauceMy father-in-law has become an amazing cook, and he made this as part of our Easter lunch this year with the fabulous pork tenderloin recipe (see linked below). This version isn't gloppy with extra sauce like you find in many Chinese take out places. It's very flavorful but also relatively light and healthful. He made a TON of it,… |

Mushroom Medley and Baby Bok Choy w/ Black Bean Sauce and Soba NoodlesIf you love mushrooms as much as I do, this one is for you. It is a fairly light and healthy vegetarian stir-fry dish, which can easily be made vegan by using vegetable broth instead of chicken broth. I used the veggie broth and it turned out great.… |
