"Playwrights are like men who have been dining for a month in an Indian restaurant. After eating curry night after night, they deny the existence of asparagus."
Peter Ustinov

Asian recipes have draw on thousands of years of experience to produce a rich variety of spicy and healthy recipes.

"The dishes of the present day are very light, and they have a particular delicacy and perfume. The secret has been discovered of enabling us to eat more and to eat better, as also to digest more rapidly....The new cookery is conductive to health, to good temper, and to long life....Who could enumerate all the dishes of the new cuisine? It is an absolutely new idiom. I have tasted viands prepared in so many ways and fashioned with such art that I could not imagine what they were."
Louis Sebastien Mercier

Chinese Fortune Cookies 1

 

Ingredients

1 egg
1/3 cup sugar
2 tbsp corn oil
2 tbsp water
1/4 cup cornstarch



 

Preparation

Have fortunes prepared in advance. Beat egg on low speed until
frothy. Beat in sugar, a little at a time, & continue beating until
mixture is a very light yellow and thick. Fold in corn oil. Blend
water and a little of the egg mixture into cornstarch, then stir into
the remaining egg mix.Heat heavy, well seasoned griddle to 350 deg,
or until drops of water bounce when dropped on the griddle. (For
griddles without temperature control, keep heat between low and
medium). Drop heaping T of batter on the griddle and spread with the
back of a spoon to about 4 in. wide and 1/8 in. thick. Cook until
edges are slightly brown & cookies can be easily lifted from griddle
with a spatula, 5 - 8 min. (If cookies stick, bottoms need to be
cooked a little longer). Turn cookies carefully & cook other side
until light brown. Be careful to keep temperature even. Place fortune
paper on cookie as soon as it is removed from the griddle. Folding is
easier to do than to describe, but the end result is shaped like a
horseshoe. Fold opposite edges together, forming a semicircle. Crease
crosswise at the center of the straight edge to form a flattened
side, then bend the opposing corners together for the traditional
shape. Set in a small glass or muffin tin until cookie cools and
holds its shape.Wipe griddle & stir batter. Repeat.
