Cabbage & Shiitake Pot Sticky Buns
After a few potsticker recipes, I finally made my very first bunch of pot sticky buns (another popular food in China). They came out soft, and quite delicious. Nicely browned and crispy at the bottom. It's an excellent way to use up some of our fresh veggies.
Chinese Veggie Salad with Soy Dressing
This light yet tasty Chinese veggie salad is made with bean sprouts, lotus root, carrot, cucumber, black mushrooms, and tofu sheet, then tossed with a soy-rice vinegar-sesame oil dressing. A refreshing side dish that goes well with most of the main dishes, or just serve it with some steamed rice to complete a delicious meal.
Asian Miso Soup
Love miso, the fermented flavor gives the dish incredibly delicious taste. I developed this recipe, and use miso and water as the base, add fresh Asian vegetables, and let boil for a few minutes. I always have the soup with some Korean Kimichi. Here the recipe is.

This classic Chinese appetizer can be found in many of Chinese restaurants. Fresh and crunchy veggies are wrapped into fresh tofu sheets, very similar way to wrap sushi. Usually served with soy-sesame or spicy dipping sauce.
