Dinner 3/5

Bindaeduk Cho Kanjang
(Mung Bean Pancakes with Dipping Sauce)

Hoisin Tofu Rice Paper Salad with a Yuzu vinaigrette
(napa cabbage, carrot, daikon radish, watermelon radish, red cabbage, cilantro, jalapeno, hoisin tofu)

Shiitake Mushrooms and Shiritake Noodle Soup
(yam noodles, dried shiitake mushrooms, mushroom and fennel broth, tamari, pepper, scallion)

the Korean style mung bean pancakes were fun -- rapid prototyping (i.e. failure with the first batch) saved them from all being lost ;) They just needed more time in the vita-mix and less liquid so that they held together...

For a change, I wrapped the rice paper salads -- usually Liz handles these -- and after about the third one the muscle memory finally kicked in. When we cleaned out the pantry last week we found five boxes(!) of the wrappers -- it's just one of those things we always pick up when we go to the market ;)
