Very traditional Chinese style pork ribs

Shirataki noodles done up with curry and sweet peppers.
Love cilantro - can you tell?

.Chicken Marsala:
Chicken breaded with Almond Meal.
Pan-fried in a smear of grape seed oil. Sliced
mushrooms and
chopped sun-dried tomatoes simmered in Marsala
wine.
The sauce was ladled on top of the chicken.
Served with oven roasted beets and green beans
steamed with Kaffir lime leaves.
Literally inhaled the beans ;-)
.
Found a recipe for Carrot-Ginger Soup -
just carrots, onion, fresh ginger, garlic,
chicken stock, then pureed.
I jazzed it up as I thought it was boring.
Simmered some more carrots with lemongrass
and,
yes, Kaffir lime leaves before the immersion
blender.
Curry powder was added at the end along with
a squirt of fresh lemon juice.
Much better!

Savory Tong Yuen:
Cantonese glutinous rice dumplings in chicken
broth,
Chinese sausage, sliced pork tenderloin, julienne
daikon, baby shrimp, dried baby shrimp,
cilantro, drizzled with sesame oil.

Bill's not a fan of the glutinous blobs of
dumpling,
so he had Hot 'n' Sour Soup.

Stephen Reid 's 4-Pepper Chili: modified
- didn't have Guinness so I subbed in with
12-year-old sherry,
a bit of palm sugar, a few dashes of worchestershire
sauce,
and a couple of serrano peppers for more heat.
Ready for packing some away!

Mah lai goh:
Two steamed cakes: eggs, brown sugar, butter,
eveaporated milk,
baking soda, baking powder, flour, steamed
for 30 minutes

The end slice... looking good!

Re-hydrated tong goo - shitaki mushrooms.
Simmered in chicken stock, then quickly stir-fried in oyster sauce.
Served over wilted napa cabbage
.
.
Shrimp and "fun see" - mung bean noodles -
required dish for Chinese New Year.
.
.
Mixed vegetables:
Sweet bell peppers, sugar snap peas, nanp
cabbage stalk, wood ear, and hairy moss.
Hairy moss in Chinese is "fat choy" - same
sounds as prosperity.
This moss is from the ocean.
It's quite expensive as harvest is restricted.
Chinese people often give "pancakes" of these
as gifts
because it is expensive and carries status;-)
