Vegetable spring rolls
Large Equipment needed: none Preparation Time: 10 minutes Ingredients: 1 head of Boston lettuce, or another variety with large, soft leaves 8 oz of any type of sprouts (soy bean, alfalfa, mung bean, etc.) 1/2 cup thinly sliced red or yellow peppers 1 lb of firm tofu 1/2 cup of your favorite Asian-style salad dressing, such as a soy ginger or shiitake mushroom and sesame Preparation: Place the tofu on a plate and gently press it to remove any excess water. Cut the tofu horizontally into three sections and then vertically into 4 strips. Cut four large lettuce leaves from the stem, wash them, and dry the leaves on a paper towel. When dry, place a lettuce leaf on a plate. In the center of the lettuce, place a 1/4 cup of sprouts. Top with a few peppers and 3 strips of tofu, and 2 tablespoons of salad dressing. Fold the outer leaves toward the center so that they cover each other, and then fold one the ends over. Turn the packet upside down, and serve on a clean plate. Pick up and eat with your hands like an egg roll or a burrito. Serves: 4 Chinese Brown Rice with Shrimp Ingredients: 1 cup of cooked rice 4 medium size cooked shrimp 1 tablespoon or 1 packets soy sauce 1/4 teaspoon of minced ginger 1/2 tablespoon of white vinegar, any type Preparation: Mix together all ingredients, and heat in microwave on HIGH for 30 second intervals until warm. Hot tuna and Cold Thai noodle salad Large Equipment Needed: electric grill, bowl, hotpot Time Preparation: 10-20 minutes, depending on how long it takes to soak the rice noodles Ingredients 1 lb tuna steak Note: Always make sure you buy fresh fish that does not have a fishy smell. Ask the store clerk to give you a sealed package of ice with your fish. When you get back to your room, keep the tuna on top of that ice in your refrigerator until you are ready to cook. It should be cooked the day it is purchased. 1 package of transparent rice noodles in the Asian section of your grocery store (2 servings). 1/4 cup thinly sliced scallions, green parts only 4 tablespoons or 4 packets of soy sauce 2 tablespoons peanut butter 2 tablespoons water Preparation Soak noodles according the package instructions. Read carefully: some require soaking in hot water, while others require cold water. After the noodles are properly soaked, remove them from water and put in a bowl. Meanwhile, mix the peanut butter with 2 tablespoons of water. The peanut butter should now have a consistency similar to a thick pasta sauce; if not, add more water, one tablespoon at a time. Add peanut sauce and scallions to the noodle bowl. Mix thoroughly, and place in refrigerator until you are ready to serve. Heat electric grill as directed. Drizzle one tablespoon of soy sauce onto each side of the tuna steak, place on the grill. Grill the tuna for 5-7 minutes. Remove grilled tuna and place onto a plate. Let it stand for 5-10 minutes. Cut the steak into two pieces and transfer them to separate plates. Add noodle salad to each plate. Drizzle remaining soy sauce onto the steaks and the cold noodle salad.
