VIETNAMESE BO LA LOT

VIETNAMESE BO LA LOT by Linda Tay Esposito

This is a very tasty Vietnamese appetizer and part of the famous "bo 7 mon" Vietnamese menu of eating 7 different types of beef dishes. Beef 7 ways. No holy cow here. The skewers of little green parcels of beef make a lovely presentation. La lot is a type of Asian herb - a large shiny heart-shaped leaf which gives a peppery,…

MALAYSIAN CURRY POWDER

MALAYSIAN CURRY POWDER by Linda Tay Esposito

I re-created this recipe based on the memory of smell (oui, Rémy!) of the aroma in my late grandmother's house as she roasted curry powder. My grandmother roasted curry powder in a wok 1-yard in diameter, over a charcoal stove, and had all of us - her grandkids - tightly packed the spice mix into recycled glass ketchup bottles which…

NASI KUNING - TUMERIC YELLOW RICE

NASI KUNING - TUMERIC YELLOW RICE by Linda Tay Esposito

The Nasi Kuning is molded into a cone shape and sits in the middle of a beautiful sea of spicy dishes in the Indonesian Nasi Tumpeng celebratory banquet. Tho' the yellow mountain comes from a mythical Hindu mountain, the predominantly Muslim Javanese still serves the rice this way. Nasi Kuning is a good accompaniment to any…

PADANG EGGPLANT

PADANG EGGPLANT by Linda Tay Esposito

Also known as "Terong Belado" this is a yummy and beautiful dish. The juxtaposition of the fiery red of the sambal with the brilliant purple of the eggplant is a feast for the eyes as well. The sambal can be used as a condiment for lots of other dishes. Try it with grilled salmon, or a bowl of laksa.

SAMBAL & CUCUMBER FINGER SANDWICHES

SAMBAL & CUCUMBER FINGER SANDWICHES by Linda Tay Esposito

The British have their dainty cucumber sandwich....eaten with raised pinkies. Malaysia, a former British colony, added a little a lot of spice to the cucumber sandwich, and came up with the sambal sandwich. We made this sandwich in our Asian Mini Sandwiches class at Whole Foods recently and it was a hit! The butter softens the spice…

Caramelized Soy and Lemongrass Spareribs

Caramelized Soy and Lemongrass Spareribs by Henry Moline

I like this Vietnamese-inspired recipe because the Caramelized Lemongrass Marinade combines sweet and salty flavors with lemongrass. The sugar is first caramelized, which gives the ribs a nice crust. This marinade is well suited to both smoking and grilling. Serve these ribs with Chinese Coleslaw and Curried Potato Wedges or jasmine…

YU SANG - CHINESE NEW YEAR SALAD

YU SANG - CHINESE NEW YEAR SALAD by Linda Tay Esposito

When Chinese New Year comes around in Malaysia and Singapore, one cannot escape the symbolic dish of Yu Sang. When I was a corporate banker in Kuala Lumpur (in my previous life), we would take our customers out for Yu Sang lunch, and Yu Sang dinner during CNY. If it was served for breakfast, we would have taken them out for Yu Sang…
