"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

Spicy Bean Curd

 

Ingredients

1/2 lb medium-firm tofu
1 tsp soy sauce and dry sherry
1 tsp sweet bean sauce or hoisin sauce
1/4 lb ground pork
3 tbsp salad oil
1 tsp minced fresh ginger
2 tsp minced garlic
2 tsp hot bean sauce or 2 small dried chi, les
3/4 cup water
2 tbsp soy sauce
2 green onions, thinly sliced
2 tbsp each water and cornstarch



 

Preparation

A fiery sauce coats cubes of delicate tofu in this succulent
stir-fry. To balance it's zestiness and soothe your palate, serve
with hot cooked rice. Cut tofu into 1/2 inch cubes; place in a
colander and let drain for 15 minutes. In a bowl, blend the 1 tsp
soy, sherry, and sweet bean sauce; add pork and stir to coat. Stir in
1 tsp of the oil; let stand for 15 minutes. Heat a wok or wide frying
pan over high heat. When pan is hot, add remaining oil. When oil
begins to heat, add ginger and garlic. Stir once, then add pork and
stir-fry until meat is no longer pink (about 2 minutes). Stir in hot
bean sauce. Add tofu, the 3/4 cup of water, and the 2 Tbs soy. Cook
for 3 minutes; then add onions. Stir together the water and
cornstarch; pour into pan and cook, stirring, until sauce boils and
thickens. Makes 2 to 3 servings.
