Healthy Vegetarian
Asian flavors lend themselves quite well to vegetarian dishes. Not only do the flavors of fresh ginger, garlic, lime, cilantro, and scallion bring acidic brightness to a dish, but soy and dried shiitake provide the unctuous umami normally found in meat. Marinating tofu in a mushroom infused soy gives it a very satisfying "meaty" flavor.

Andrew, it was wonderful to hear about the lovely cuisine created for Amanda'a birthday. What's 3 leche cake?
ReplyDeleteAlso, I loved the hint about marinated soy. Such a great idea, even this non-chef wants to try it. What are one or two simple ingredients I might use for the marinate?
