Dressing adapted from Mollie Katzen’s The New Moosewood Cookbook
Yield = 1.5 cups
Notes: the first time you make this dressing it will likely taste a little flat. I find it hard to get the seasoning right because of the warm temperature of the mixture and often make adjustments the following day or after it has cooled in the fridge. I never find the 2 teaspoons of lime juice to be enough and almost always add the juice of a whole lime depending on its size. The dressing will feel really thin — too thin — but it works. I add the sesame oil for both flavor and body, but this is not in the original recipe, so feel free to leave it out if you don’t like that flavor. And I add a hefty dose of Sriracha, not only for heat but for flavor — it provides a nice bite in addition to heat. I like to make the dressing a day in advance to allow the flavors to meld and to let it cool down, but you can always stick it in the freezer to let it cool down faster. Alternatively, you can make the dressing in the food processor using cold water.

“Miso and garlic-infused vegetable broth makes a tasty base for instant ramen noodles and fresh vegetables. No need for the sodium-heavy flavor packets. Tofu adds protein and texture and soaks up the flavor of the broth.”

Recipe makes 24 potstickers; cook 12 at a time. They freeze beautifully. Freeze them in a single layer, and once hard, put them in a zipperlock bag for storage.

fast & Flavorful Meatless Meals cookbook —

“Place steak in the freezer for 15 minutes before slicing. The meat will firm up so you can cut it into perfectly thin strips.”

Father’s Day 2012 – a great way to use your lettuce from the CSA. Not a neat meal, but tasty. I added a couple of carrots, shredded, and a can of water chesnuts.
