Hot and Sour Mushroom Soup

This classic central That dish is traditionally made with shrimp or chicken, but we prefer using oyster mushrooms since they are just as meaty in texture and yet more subtle in taste. Although it is served as a soup course in North American Thai restaurants, it actually falls somewhere between a soup and a curry. In Thailand, it is served as a condiment to rice, just like any of the other dishes on the table.

Cream Cheese Bars

Delicious and so easy. I made two ingredient changes: used reduced fat cream cheese and finely chopped pecans rather than walnuts. Perfect amount of bars without feeling you have to eat a whole cheesecake (so it doesn't go to waste!). I also refrigerated the bars after cooling.
