Armenian Lentil Soup: Vospapur - ready for the simmer...
Lentils, chopped onion, tomato, spinach (I use fresh instead of frozen),
cumin, corrinader, Hungarian HOT paprika, chicken stock - no fat added
.
Vospapur with grated smoked Gouda.
Even better if I had Cumin Gouda!
A squeeze of lemon juice just before devouring :-).
.
Stir-fried Topshell (poor man's abalone),
shitaki mushrooms, Chinese broccoli, oyster sauce.
.
Pan seared tofu with Saigon Chili Oil.
.
Vegetarian lasagna: carrot, mushroom, onion, red pepper, zucchini, tomatoes, tomato sauce, paste,
Italian herbs, ready-to-serve lasagna noodle, cottage cheese, spinach, Parmesan cheese,
and topped with shredded Tex-Mex cheese.
China says this is even better eaten cold!
.
Throw together meat lasagna: ground sirloin, carrots, mushrooms, red pepper, onion,
Hungarian Hot paprika, tomato sauce, cottage cheese, spinach, Paremsan cheese,
and topped with shredded Tex-Mex cheese - for the carnivores in the family.
.
.
Pressed Duck with Spicy Plum Sauce: First and last attempt, I think.
Duck was steamed for 1 1/2 hours, cooled, pressed into waterchestnut powder,
steamed again for 30 minutes, cooled, then deep-fried until crispy.
It was OK, but will be "renovating" the recipe.
.
Mini crab cakes with "kick-it-up-a-notch" mayo dip - Emeril Lagasse's recipe
.
Summer rolls a la Sue-On with chili soy sesame seed dip
.
Ground turkey lettuce wraps: ground turkey, bell peppers, onion, waterchestnut,
shitaki mushrooms, oyster sauce, Hoisin sauce, fermented soy beans, chicken stock
.
Mung bean noodles, dried shrimp, Chinese sausage, char siu, Chinese cabbage,
Tamari soy sauce. Another family favourite handed down from my Mom.
.
First rhubarb pie of the season!
.
Beef tenderloin with oyster sauce on a bed of stir-fried green beans, sugar snap peas and red peppers.
Served with "cauliflower rice" - steamed grated cauliflower in place of rice.
Bill likes cauliflower better this way - smothered in sauce without the carbs ;-)
.
Easter weekend's BBQ bison strip loins
with Ryan's own dry rub, baby carrots and grilled taters
.
Lovely medium rare bison steaks from Bison Spirit Ranch, Oak Lake, MB.
Bill does their website: www.bisonspiritranch.com
.
More grilled asparagus wrapped with proscuitto!
Tong Yuen: Very traditional savory dumpling soup.
This is one version that is required for Chinese New Year.
It's also a year round comfort food for some of us :-)
The dumplings are made with glutineous rice flour, add in shredded
daikon,
Chinese sausage, dried shrimp, cilantro, chicken stock.
.
I like crunchy spicy turnip with mine along with a few drops
of sesame oil.
I also have a little dish of soy sauce with white pepper, and chili
oil for dumpling dipping.
.
Bill is not a fan of gooey balls of flour, so I give him noodles
instead.
He likes sweet chili sauce for his noodles.
