Sweet Potato Ravioli with Thai Basil, Jasmine Rice, Stir-Fried Brussel Sprouts with Star Anise

Dinner 5/26

Sweet Potato Ravioli with Thai Basil

Jasmine Rice

Stir-Fried Brussel Sprouts with Star Anise

A riff on Ming Tsai's version that uses mashed sweet potatoes seasoned with five-spice powder, agave, chives and thai basil between wonton wrappers as ravioli topped with a brown "butter," balsamic and black vinegar sauce.

A really interesting flavor combination that worked well...

A few things to consider while reading this blog

1. When an ingredient is listed like [this], it means [this] was the original ingredient in the recipe. 99% of the recipes get adapted in one form or another.

2. When Tofu is referred to, it usually means extra firm tofu, If the (softer) tofu in the aseptic box is used, it'll be noted. Boxed tofu mostly gets used in cream sauces.

Assume that we're talking about Rice Milk, Vegan Cheese and non bone-char sugar.

3. Links to recipes are shown when available, if there's no link, we'll try to cite the book/magazine issue from where it came. If there's no recipe cited, it usually means we made it up... and if there's nothing at all, enjoy the pretty pictures. ;)

4. We don't like ersatz food (i.e. tofu molded into the shape of a turkey for Thanksgiving), but we're funny that way.

5. A brief personal history. We were vegetarian for 7 years, and have been vegan for the last 20 years.

If you have the time, check out the music page.

6. There is no Number 6
