Monday July 13, 2009
This is a great recipe for days when you want to spend a minimum amount of time in the kitchen. Egg noodles are boiled and topped with a spicy dressing made with balsamic vinegar and hot chili oil (available at Asian markets). Serve Easy Szechuan-style Noodles hot or cold, and feel free to garnish them with sesame seeds and chopped green onion if desired.

Salt and Pepper Shrimp

Saturday July 11, 2009
Spicy salt and pepper shrimp makes an excellent appetizer or main meal. The deep-fried shrimp shells turn a wonderful orange color, and have a crunchy texture, while the spicy seasoning adds extra flavor. Leaving the shells on protects the shrimp meat inside, so that it tastes very tender. But don’t worry – eating the shells is strictly optional!

Sweet Red Bean SoupEven though this light dessert soup is considered to be a yang or warming food, it's perfect for warm summer days. Sweet Red Bean Soup uses red azuki (adzuki) beans and dried tangerine peel, sold in plastic bags in Chinese/Asian markets. Glutinous rice, also sold in Asian markets, adds texture.
