"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

Oriental Stew

 

Ingredients

5 cup vegetable stock
1 sm onion, thinly sliced *
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 tbsp minced gingeroot
1 1/2 tbsp soy sauce
3 stalks bok choy **
1 sweet red pepper, julienned
1 cup broccoli florets
1 carrot, shredded
1 cup sliced mushrooms (3 oz)
1/2 cup peas
2 oz buckwheat noodles (1/2 cup)
1/2 lb firm tofu, cut in 1/2 cubes
1/4 cup watercress leaves



 

Preparation

* or 2 scallions, chopped ** diagonally sliced, also shred leaves
GARNISH: blanched peapods, thin scallion slices, celery leaves,
toasted sesame seeds, finely shredded lettuce or watercress leaves,
Optional. Place 1/2 cup of the vegetable stock in a Dutch oven or 3
1/2 - 5 qt saucepan and bring to a boil. Add onion, garlic, and
gignger; simmer for 3 minutes. Stir in remaining stock and soy sauce.
Cover pot and bring to a gentle boil. Add remaining ingredients. Test
for doneness: noodles should be softened; vegetables should remain
crisp/tender. Timing - about 8 minutes. Top each serving with one of
the garnishes. VARIATIONS: - substitute 1 c cooked brown rice for the
buckwheat noodles - substitute or add other vegetables such as
chopped green peppers, chopped water chestnut, chopped jicama root,
shredded spinach, chopped celery, or bamboo shoots. ~ to shorten prep
time, use only 2 vegetables- onion and peas - for a "hotter" soup,
subst. 1/2-1 t dry crushed red pepper - stir in 1 t toasted Sesame
Oil or 1/2 t Chinese hot oil just before serving ~ for additional
protein and flavor, stir Egg Threads into soup just before serving
EGG THREADS: In a small skillet, heat a little margarine. When it
begins to bubble, add 1 egg beaten with a little cold water. Tilt the
pan so the yolk mixture coats it in a thin layer, the thinner the
better. When the egg is lightly cooked, turn it out onto a cutting
board. Slice it into very thin strips with a sharp knife. (makes
about 1/3 cup)

 

 

Servings: 6
