Tofu (For Carnivores...) ?

maybe you should try using tempeh which is like tofu, but is much firmer and heartier.

firm tofu, or use dried tofu skins. its very chew and nommmmy and soaks up flavors wells =]

Serious Efforts: Recipe for Chinese-Style Braised Rabbit

oh and as a side note, those fermented black beans are ridiculously yummms with pork ribs.

my grandparents would cut the ribs into little pieces (or i think they bought it that way), and marinade it with

fermented black beans
garlic
soy sauce
white pepper
a little sesame oil
a little cornstarch

mash alll of those things together with a mortar and pestle until some black beans are mashed and some garlic is smashed. you want some whole bits, and you want some of it really well integrated into the sauce

then you can either pan fry it, or my family steamed it in the steamer rack of our rice cooker. you can adjust the amount of sauce that comes out with the amount of cornstarch and soy sauce or water. great with rice

this dish can be found at most dim sum places, but its SUPER greasy....

Serious Efforts: Recipe for Chinese-Style Braised Rabbit

My grandma, who came from northern china (all the recipes differ region to region, cause my grandpa from hong kong made it differently), made this braised rabbit dish. I don't know the whole recipe, but I do know it involves

reconstituted dried shitake mushrooms
dried tofu skin sticks
garlic
ginger
soy sauce
rabbit
maybe a few root veggies?

I do know to marinate any meat with some sesame oil, soy sauce, and a little cornstarch (something to do with the meat, and helps brown the meat)

I don't know what the other ingredients and seasonings were, but those were the things that I would eat up, the tofu skin, the mushrooms, and the gravy that came with it (I still can't eat rabbit).

I also remember my family would make a sauce from pickled tofu (usually comes in a jar soaking in chili vinegar (just mash it up, and if you need it a little thinner, add a little soy, or just some hot water)

Hope that helped! Good Luck! =]

Ancestors recipes

My grandpa always tries to teach me how to cook by telling, I always tell him i need to watch, since he keeps saying its allllll about the timing of when you add the ingredients. (He apprenticed in Hong Kong) and my other grandpa alllways tries to teach me how to bake or make bao (he worked at a reallllly popular chinese bakery during its hey-day in sacramento) and my grandma is always cooking and teaching me northern chinese food since the rest of our family is from the south or hong kong.

best of the best? tomato and egg (always add sugar and ketchup), red bean steamed baos and steamed chicken baos (should totally be eaten fresh from the steamer) and chinese dessert soups (nom nom nom)

Lunch eats in downtown San Francisco?

Bankok Noodles on Powell Street about 2-3 blocks from where you get on the cable cars, its really cheap, quick, and realllly tasty. I always went there with my mom when we would hang out in San Francisco. That would be our quick and cheap eat... It's a little cramped for space, but if it's a nice day, just take it to go and eat at union square!

I have a tub of pork floss. Now what?

College Eats!

our dining commons are bad, and i only ate there last year because it was part of my dorm package. My stomach hurt so bad every day.

But now, I cook, and while my roommate likes to mix it up, I am cheap and asian, so I cook rice, mix in some vegetable and soy or just rice and pickled asian veggies or fermented tofu. my food smells...

Seems like a lot of people are cooking at home for V-Day...

well just to share,

1. being in college, we dont necessarily have the greatest income to be dining out like that.

2. I like to cook, he likes to eat what i cook

3. theres too many people out on valentines day, and its way too expensive

its ust nicer to be cozy-ing up with your man, watching south park, and drinking apple cider straight from the big ol' bottle... we don't like to wash dishes either...
