An old "update"

I haven't updated my blog for a while now...here is something I experimented with a while back (Canadian Thanksgiving) and turned out quite well. I made green onion cakes (Chinese dim sum item). It was quite successful, though I had to be careful not to flatten the cakes too think or the dough breaks and all the green onions leak out. It was basically the way I thought it should be, so I am pleased.



I also made my own won ton soup, with shrimp, bamboo shoots, dried shiitake mushrooms, and "wood ear" fungus. The broth is made from a home-made chicken stock enhanced with shrimp shells. It worked out great. There is no comparison to the ones you get at Chinese restaurants here.
