Since my mother grew up in Shanghai—and gave me a deep appreciation of Asian cooking and flavors—these veggie burgers are totally up my alley! They remind me of the wonderful, aromatic, vegetable cutlets that my grandmother, Liza (now 97), made each time we visited her in Israel.
Thanks to a sizable Asian and Buddhist population in the San Gabriel Valley, there are many scrumptious eateries with scores of vegetarian and vegan options.
Head to the Asian market, grab your ingredients, bottle of wine and enjoy your scrumptious dumplings. Great to put together with friends or for date night.
I remember when I was younger I would get so super excited when I received a little red envelope. There was always only one fabulous thing inside…CASH!
I find most Asian clothes to be very ornate, extremely personalized and timeless. After seeing how long some of the outfits took to put together and get on the models, I completely understood why they are customary to wear ONLY for special occasions.
Did you see last month’s Food and Wine issue where they used Pillsbury dough in the tube for a substitute for steamed buns of the Chinese dim sum kind?
