Dim Sum Garden

Underneath a tunnel which acts as a homeless shelter, and next to a Chinatown bus station sits a the neon-fringed, sparsely decorated Dim Sum Garden. This Shanghainese eatery, which is not really a traditional dim sum house, has gotten praise for their hand drawn noodles and the (apparently in Philly) elusive Shanghai soup bun (Xiao Long Bao). Unfortunately, Shanghai soup buns — a sort of steamed dumpling filled with pork and hot soup — are not vegetarian. Carry on. What I love about the grungy-looking (although, it was clean) Chinese eatery is the smiling service. What I love even more is the decisiveness and confidence our smiling server had in recommending the better of two dishes — even if she might have been lying just to get on with her job. Thank you for having conviction. The vegetable steamed buns are not the steamed soup buns most people come looking for, but are the thicker bread-like buns, and are filled with a mixture of chopped Shanghai cabbage, black mushrooms, and tofu. Mildly flavored, be sure to douse the vegetable bun with one of the few condiments on the table, like vinegar, soy sauce, or chili sauce. The vegetable steamed dumplings (again not the one’s…

Omelet (with video!)

The mysterious omelet. Apparently Julia Child devoted ten pages to the description of making omelets. I’ve read accounts of omelet making that drove people mad trying to attain illusive omelet perfection – soft, creamy, buttery; cooked through, but without any brown spots. I’ve read still others where the first step is to get your “20 year old, perfectly seasoned omelet pan.” I’ve seen ingredients for omelets that include water. Ones that say you must have room temperature eggs, cold unsalted butter, an aluminum skillet, perfect heat, stir with a fork, shake the pan back and forth, practice with beans in the skillet – I can see why people have gone crazy. Michael expressed interest in learning to make omelets after seeing the old episode of Julia Child’s The French Chef on the subject – I guess 30 minutes is equal to about 10 pages. So I did some research, bought a decent omelet pan and let him loose in the kitchen over the past month. I’m sure this recipe has not attained perfection on the French scale, but I think he’s developed his own quite tasty recipe. Because omelet making does take longer to describe than make, we’ve add a few videos – a first on Vegetarianized.com! Omelet Servings: 1 (two egg omelet) Time: 5 minutes active; about 15 minutes total Price: about $0.50 Nutrition…

Ming’s Pasta

Plain can be tasty: pasta tossed with Bovril and butter, a dish not for the faint of weight. I realise that I don’t have any food recipes to blog since it’s still CNY and I’m still eating out, at restaurants, friends’ and my MIL’s. So before all my readers run away, here’s the world’s simplest way to serve pasta according to my son Ming who cooked it up, literally. All you need is pasta, preferably the ones with a hollow center like macaroni and bucatini, Bovril and the best butter. That would be Lurpak or President butter here but if you can get Kerrygold, which we used to get, that’s good too. A cheaper but still good butter is Anchor block butter. This is a pasta dish for hungry teenagers whose moms are lazy/too busy/ran out of money/all the previous excuses/reasons. Ming’s Pasta 1. Boil your pasta in salted water as usual (and never add oil, it’s unecessary and makes the pasta too slippery for the sauce to cling) and to the texture you like. Drain well. 2. When still hot, add lots of butter and Bovril. That’s it. A minestrone or

A Tasty Recipe: Lettuce Wraps

First. The four winners of the Surf & Turf sushi weekend have been contacted. However …as of Tuesday morning, only three have responded. I’ll give the fourth winner till the end of the day today to respond; if I don’t hear from them, I’ll choose another winner tonight. Meanwhile, I’m in the process of planning several other cooking weekends at the Lodge this year and am gathering creative ideas for cooking/baking themes and expert demonstrations. Feel free to offer suggestions here for unique/hands-on cooking retreats—2010 is the year of the Lodge getaway. Second. It’s been about six months since my happy little community recipe site called Tasty Kitchen was born. It’s been a wonderfully fun experience, and the goldmine of recipes people are sharing there is…is…well, let’s just say it’s a treasure. My girls now regularly scour the submitted recipes for new ideas (note that they never veer far from the “Cookies” category) and I’ve found some real jewels over there myself. Last month, I added a blog to Tasty Kitchen and have been planning some fun things: featuring Tasty…

Four Very Important Things

(Inside Tip: You’ll want to be sure to make it down to #4. And that’s all I’m gonna say about that.) The facts of the case are as follows: 1. Last summer, I launched Tasty Kitchen . My love handles have never been the same. Now, at long last, I’ve finally gotten the Tasty Kitchen Blog up and running . In the TK Blog, I’ll feature collections of recipes, interview contributors, and highlight dishes that make my skirt fly up (figuratively speaking.)
