Spicy and Sweet Asian Recipe

I don't measure when I make things, so I just guessed. This is my favorite

A foolproof way of cooking salmon fillets.

Chop garlic very fine.

Add dijon to the garlic and whisk in the olive oil.
Add the juice of a lemon and whisk again.
Add the balsamic vinegar and whisk until an emulsion has occurred.

Asian vinaigrette: Substitute sesame oil (decrease to 1 T) for the Olive oil and soy sauce for the lemon. Use Rice vinegar instead of balsamic and add grated fresh ginger.

You can change the flavor by experimenting with different oils (I love walnut, unrefined peanut and avocado oil) and different acidic bases (lemon juice, different vinegars, grapefruit juice, etc) and omitting garlic to tone down the flavor as well. Be creative in your approach to the flavor and use the best ingredients you can afford.

Zesty, spicy, and a little sweet....great side dish for curry or other asian cuisine.

A delicious Asian inspired idea to accompany those stir fry recipes. If Bok Choy isn't available substitute another cabbage.

Tasty Filipino recipe from my best friend's mom. Combines good proteins and lots of fresh veggies. Makes LOTS of portions, so its good for large groups or left over lunches!

These burgers have a true crab flavor that isn't masked by fillers or strong seasoning. Serve on a bun with tartar sauce or with a lemon-juice-dressed salad of greens, sprouts and sliced peaches. This recipe works best with convenient pasteurized crabmeat, usually found in the refrigerated case near the fish counter. If you prefer lump crabmeat, cut it into small, uniform pieces.

This dish is sweet and spicy, and with a side of veggies, comes in under 400 calories. Brown rice is included in the nutritional info

Vegetables may be substitued or eliminated on your taste. Do not overcook vegetables you want them a little crisp! Ginger and Garlic are added for additional flavor, either or both may be omitted.

Y-U-M-M-Y........one of my favorites at PF Chang's....the Soothing Chicken Lettuce Wraps!!! I've made them here with extra lean turkey, but you could easily substitute ground chicken or tofu for the turkey and add any vegetables of your choice. This recipe will leave you saying...."PF who???"

Tasty and worth the effort. My kids love wontons!

Easy, low fat, high fibre

We've bumped up the nutrition--and kept all the flavor--of this traditional Italian pizza with tomato, sliced mozzarella, basil, and olive oil.

Almost as good as take-out

A cool, raw appetizer or main dish

It's no surprise that American cooks have adopted Asian peanut sauce as their own. The tantalizing balance of creaminess and heat has universal appeal.

Its a little Asian, its a little Southern and its allot of flavor!!! Simple to make and takes less than 5 minutes to prepare.
