A while ago some friends and I had spent the afternoon making batches of Chinese dumplings and frying them up for dinner. We each went home with freezer bagfuls for a rainy day. This rainy day I pan fried some of the pork and yellow chive dumplings, making sure to get nicely browned, crispy bottoms. For the dipping sauce I like to mix equal parts soy sauce and rice vinegar, grated garlic and a dash each of sesame oil and Tabasco sauce.Celiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09607209542262126726noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10206375.post-16376146527835991052010-05-12T21:17:00.000-07:002010-05-12T21:17:48.335-07:00Sprung!<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbriINrh6BTWwgxnYT2jl29FCiEi2fDosXPm1VCuCog856IRKG6ogQG1syjcI60tWfIQj_VcRt6jSHL4Y3iLZLcoecorBMeBs5QlEH9_XqBjdHQwMCLNHi7iluqLoS42XTvBSYjw/s1600/beetsalad3.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhbriINrh6BTWwgxnYT2jl29FCiEi2fDosXPm1VCuCog856IRKG6ogQG1syjcI60tWfIQj_VcRt6jSHL4Y3iLZLcoecorBMeBs5QlEH9_XqBjdHQwMCLNHi7iluqLoS42XTvBSYjw/s640/beetsalad3.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>Although I despise beets in my borscht, I quite enjoy them in a salad.

What's great about this one bowl meal is that I can make a big batch for an easy take-to-work lunch the next day.

I used truffle salt and brown butter whenever I could, didn't bother with the cognac, and added a side of linguine liberally tossed in the very delectable sauce.

Recently I was craving them and used some canned crab meat I picked up at Costco. I improvised adding leeks, mustard, mayo, garlic and worchestershire sauce. Baked, then fried. Liberal drizzle of lemon-paprika aioli with some more on the side. I must admit they're still not the perfect crab cakes of my dreams but they're the closest yet.Celiahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09607209542262126726noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10206375.post-7737649554452072312010-02-27T12:43:00.000-08:002010-02-27T12:43:45.615-08:00Two for Tea<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFxWqgTUUoTNFBUG0wfmVIejDC36w9DROIkuRSxBflIsg1Uz0tx1hRbs_N0cvBMjs7HLRyH-Hbc7-QW8pJq4rT3CbOnzr6sC9O3-K9EArbzCL4ZlolgGQCVsUOBe4_YdKqhkbSqA/s1600/choccookiestea.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="426" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgFxWqgTUUoTNFBUG0wfmVIejDC36w9DROIkuRSxBflIsg1Uz0tx1hRbs_N0cvBMjs7HLRyH-Hbc7-QW8pJq4rT3CbOnzr6sC9O3-K9EArbzCL4ZlolgGQCVsUOBe4_YdKqhkbSqA/s640/choccookiestea.jpg" width="640" /></a></div>A couple of these bad boys with some milky Assam tea.
