Today’s creative endeavor was an Asian Dinner for 8. My daughter came back from a semester overseas determined to learn how to cook. So we’ve been cooking. Today’s meal was a birthday celebration. The recipes all (or nearly all) came from Epicurious.com:
Egg Drop Soup
Lee Wan Ching’s Chinese Broccoli with Ginger Sauce
Jasmine Rice with Garlic, Ginger, and Cilantro
Jade Dumplings with Soy-Sesame Dipping Sauce
Vegetable Stir-Fry
Steamed Sea Bass, Cantonese Style
Tea-Poached Pears with Tapioca Pearls and Satsumas
Five-Spice Fortune Cookies
Bubble Tea
It was quite a spread. No matter how much I reminded myself to take photos, I forgot it all in the midst of preparations.
