Okinawan Sweet Fritters by Tamara Daugherty

I grew up loving this delicate treat, both from the market in Okinawa (watching elderly women fry these up in giant cast iron pots) and made at home by my "Oba-ason" (Okinawan grandmother)". I use to wait for these little doughnuts to float on top in her pot over a wood-fed fire. (we never had a stove). Similar to the American version…

SHANGHAINESE LION’S HEAD by Linda Tay Esposito

They call it Lion's Head because the meatballs are ye big with manes of soft, tender napa cabbage...looking like a lion. Seriously, in Shanghai, the meatballs are the size of a tennis ball - let's call that a quarter pounder meatball. Slowly braise or steam to get a tender, melt-in-your-mouth meatballs. If you have a small…

Curried Chow Mein Noodle, Pea, Shrimp & Cashew Salad by Bob Vincent

This is a quick and easy dish to make. It is adapted from a recipe that appeared in Bon Appetit Magazine's "Too Busy To Cook" section in 1981. They published two hardbound books with recipes from "Too Busy To Cook." One in 1981 and the second volume in 1988. I added water chesnuts; increased the amount cashews and mayonnaise,…

Galbi Tang (Beef Short Ribs Soup) by jason kim

We made another slow-simmering beef soup last night called galbitang, which includes beef short ribs, Korean radish (moo), and glass noodles (dangmyun). Actually we were missing some breakfast items for the kids (no milk & juice) so it was out of default that we made this dish. This hearty soup is similar to seollongtang (a…

Orange Portabella and Spinach Rice Bowl by Sean Kervin

While living in Japan, I fell in love with the simplicity of the Japanese Rice Bowl. Nothing too complex - it is simply a bowl of Jasmine rice with beef or chicken, some sauce, and if you're lucky, you sometimes get sea weed or a fried egg on top. I have since bastardized the concept - but the foundation of some rice, in a bowl,…

Pineapple Beef Stir Fry by Hungry Jenny

Pineapple in a stir fry is fantastic because all the lovely juice spreads out and soaks through the rest of the dish! http://hungryjenny.blogspot.com/2010/04/three-things-to-do-with-beef.html

Asian Chicken & Rice Noodle Salad by Bob Vincent

This is a nice change of pace main dish salad. It is adapted from a recent recipe in Fine Cooking magazine. I added several additional ingredients and changed the formula for the dressing as well. The spinach, water chestnuts, cilantro, cashews, peanut oil, tangerine juice and rice wine vinegar were not included in the original.…

Kung Pao Chicken by Wayne Ehlers

This recipe is much closer to how Kung Pao chicken is done in China. I don't know why restaurants here in the United States try to "Americanize" it, because most who try this version forget about the others.

World Class Tomato Salad For A World Cup Final Match by kathy gori

All Saturday before the World Cup was to be played I had Tapas on my mind. Maybe it was Spain being in the finals, maybe it was that psychic octopus from the German zoo. Who knows why one gets tapas on the brain, but there they were. So did that make me go on a quest for tapas? No. It did make me go looking for a recipe for that days'…

ROASTED RED SNAPPER UPRIGHT WITH GARLIC, GINGER AND CILANTRO MARINADE by Cecelia Heer

Whole red snapper is first marinated with a combination of lime juice, garlic, ginger and cilantro; then roasted, upright, in an oven. The key here is to keep the fish standing upright (sort of like the “chicken standing” type recipes out there)
