Bird Flu Curry Powder
This is an adaption of a Malay Chinese spice recipe which is “guaranteed” to keep the Bird Flu away from those who use it. I doubt it works but it is sure mighty tasty. Good for poultry and fish dishes.
Stir-Fried Chinese Vegetables
Prepare everything ahead of time. Found this recipe on Wolfgang Puck’s web site and it is very good. It is pretty time consuming but so worth the effort!
Pickled Asian Pears (Wor Mei Lei)
This is from Eileen Yin-Fei Lo’s “The Chinese Kitchen”, one of the finest classic Chinese cookbooks in English. In this reciped, she uses “sah leh” (sand pears) and recommends substituting Bosc pears, but I have done this with Asian pears, specifically Hosui or Niitaka. The desirable characteristic is a hard, crisp fruit. This is a wonderful appetizer or amuse bouche … You can either pickle the pears whole, or for an appetizer, you can julienne them.
Crockpot Cantonese Tempeh
Easy tempeh recipe. You could also use seitan strips, like the ones in this recipe from Vegan Dad: http://vegandad.blogspot.com/2008/05/noodles-and-beef-seitan-in-black-bean.html
Watermelon and Lychee Salad
My mom learned this dish from a teacher who taught home economics. All of my family member love it. We always ask my mom to make it in summer.
