Everything Except the Little White Boxes...
Menu:
It would have been far too easy to just pick one dish and make enough of it. No, we wanted more of the Chinese family style dinner where everyone shares several dishes so we went ahead and made three entrees (four if you count the stir fried veggies). Even I'm starting to believe those of you who think I'm crazy. Anyway, with only three dinners left before the beginning of Festival, this week was Chinese.
Everything was pretty good. We were trying to imitate restaurant fare, and I think we did a pretty good job. So if you've ever been to a Chinese restaurant and ordered one of the things we had, you pretty much already know what it was like. All except the first batch of Turkey Shumai that SC drowned. (We thought The Korean could, you know, cook Asian food.)
Much thanks to RS1 for the Cocoa Angelfood Cake. I don't think I'd ever seen that done. But then again, I don't get out much. Some know that I'm not a huge fan of chocolate, but I think what I don't like is mounds and mounds of rich chocolate layered upon itself. The light angelfood was, for me, the perfect vehicle for a nice chocolatey flavor without all the heavy.
- Cold sesame peanut noodles
- Turkey shumai
- Cashew chicken
