last weekend i took a chinese cooking class with ning.
we made smoked tofu lettuce wraps, seafood soup, and tofu stuffed with ppork and shrimp.
above is a finished lettuce wrap and below are various stages of making the stuffed tofu.
the stuffed tofu was delicious but my favorite part about the recipe is that it came to ning in a dream while on vacation in mexico. specific ingredients apperared in her dreams two nights in a row and when she returned to colorado she made it for her husband who loved it. she normally doesn't dream.
once the tofu was filled with stuffing it was steamed in chicken broth and gobbled up too fast to take pictures.
same with the seafood soup.
yum.
These look so delicious! I want you to come and cook for me!! I absolutely love lettuce wraps! Crunchy and hot and cold and YUM!! What a fun post!

Okay, make it again, only let me get my plane tickets first!!!!
Okay, wait, When I first met you it was Neil Diamonds birthday, and you played with my head. As I thought he was my father until I was 7. Yes, My dad looked like him, I couldn't tell the difference.
And, now it is his birthday again? Oh well, silly me, I guess he does have them once a year!!! xooxox
