Our neighbor made a great tasting soup for us that we had to get the recipe for.
Saute some sliced onion in a stock pot. Add minced pork and brown. Cover with water, add chopped tomatoes and bring to a simmer. Add in sliced eggplant and stir. Season with a bit of fish sauce.
Chop up some shiso (perilla) leaves and add them to the soup. Serve hot. So good, one bowl is not enough.

Annie made some candied walnuts using a recipe off Epicurious. We had some nice peppered salami and some gorgonzola cheese in the fridge. Just mixed it all together and dressed with extra virgin olive oil and balsamic vinegar. Flavorful and healthy!

Annie picked up some fresh shiitake mushrooms the other day. She marinated them in soy sauce, oyster sauce, salt, sugar, and sesame oil and steamed them for 15 minutes. Baby bok choy was steamed for 5-6 minutes.
Made a sauce from Chinese rice wine, sesame oil, salt, sugar, oyster sauce, soy sauce, and cornstarch slurry.
Arranged the plate, then garnished with a little “fatt choy” black hair fungus.
Nothing compares to fresh shiitake!
