Chinese new year/5 recipes

There are many variations of classic Mexican tortilla soup. In this vegetarian version (feel free to substitute chicken for the tofu for a non-veg version) the rich broth is flavored with earthy ancho (New Mexican) chillies and made more filling by adding some kale that retains it's texture well in a hot soup.

Have to give this recipe 5 star. It was quite easy to make, and it came out delicious.

Absolutely delicious! I love pumpkin but hate making pie crust, so this is a great alternative. Very easy, too. The maple syrup is a nice subtle flavor. The honey glazed walnuts are really a nice touch. Going to be using them in other things, too. I presented this two ways, one still in the ramekin, and one unmolded. Thanks for a great new addition to the fall dessert line-up.

This is a simple and easy slaw, typical Asian style. Very healthy and savory.

Pad Thai Tip: For even more flavor, I'll often make a double batch of the pad Thai sauce. Then, as I'm stir-frying the noodles, I'll add more sauce until I'm happy with the taste (I also add extra fish sauce). Any leftover sauce can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 1 month.

Nutty, ever so slightly sweet and spicy. You have to love how quick and easy to make this delicious dish.

Marinate the portobello in the mixture of olive oil, lemon juice, garlic, salt and pepper, really makes the mushroom tender and juicy after grilling, also very flavorful. A delicious burger, top with any your favorite condiment and other vegetables.

This kung pao tofu was very tasty. I used two green bell peppers and 1 red bell peppers. Didn't have oyster sauce, so I used housin sauce, and it worked deliciously well.
