Notes about Recipes in this book

  • Tofu rolls

    • chawkins on March 24, 2025

      I did make a few substitutions and pan-fried them instead of deep-frying them, but they turned out very tasty. I used wood ears as the mushroom, equal weighs of julienned pork and diced shrimp for the tofu and oyster sauce for the soy. The amount of filling in the recipe yielded 18 rolls for me using 2 sheets of rectangular/square tofu skin.

  • Sichuan pickled cucumber

    • chawkins on July 26, 2020

      Unlike other Asian cucumber salad that I have tried, this one does not use garlic, so it is more companion friendly. The shredded ginger were soaked to take the bite off and the dish need to sit for at least 6 hours.
