The Perfect Dinner

"Perfect" is a tall order, but tonight J proclaimed that I had cooked pretty much his perfect meal. He likes a lot of little plates of things, seafood, and cold Chinese appetizers. Let's see how I inadvertently hit all these notes tonight.


Clockwise from the top left: stir-fried watercress fulfilled my rule that every meal should have something green. It's sharp bitterness also cut through the oil in some of the other dishes. Then there's sliced pressed tofu with green onions, dried baby shrimp, Korean chili powder, and sesame oil; blanched enoki mushrooms and bean sprouts with cilantro, sesame oil, and white pepper; and finally our first attempt at marinated jellyfish! We paired it with thinly slivered carrots and chopped cilantro and marinated it in sugar, soy sauce, salt, rice vinegar, and black vinegar. Delicious! I loved the vinegary kick. This was a very nice post workout meal for the strangely warm weather today.
