“Jagged Noodles” Columnist
Organic Food
is Overrated
BY HUY X. LE
IE Columnist
Someone told me I’ve
become “unhealthily chubby.” Unhealthily chubby!
That’s ridiculous! If I could
find the strength to get off
this couch, I’d waddle over
to the person and slap him.
But still, it does not hurt to
eat less carbs and more of
these colorful things that
the nutritionists call “vegetables.” Today
for dinner, I skipped the rice and pasta,
and instead had some scrambled tofu
and a hefty side of steamed broccoli and
red peppers. It was so healthy I nearly
couldn’t choke it all down. I’ve never
broken my college habits of eating ramen
and microwaved pasta. My body isn’t
used to nutrients.
It has been a struggle to eat healthier. People always say “eat healthier,
buy organic, buy local.” You know what,
organic, healthy stuff is expensive. When
you’re poor, you can’t spend 8 dollars
on a pint of organic blueberries at PCC.
That’s approximately 1 dollar a berry! No
wonder people in America are obese. Not
only is fast food like hamburger and fries
delicious, it’s also hecka lot cheaper than
organic broccoli.
I have some poor vegan friends who
spend nearly a half of their money monthly on food. “What!” I exclaimed, spitting
out a piece of organic pluot they fed me,
“You spend three Nintendo Wiis a month
just on food?” It boggles the mind. Their
point is that 8 dollars for a pint of organic
blueberries is totally worth it. “People
don’t spend enough on good food,” they
said, “in the natural order of things, food
that nourishes you should take priority. It’s
an investment.”
Are they right? Is this true? Ages ago,
most of people’s earnings were spent on
food. Now, with improvements in technology and economics, survival is not as
critical. We can focus on more important
things, such as leisurely activities and
material possessions; ensuring we get the
best food is secondary. But food is what
our bodies are made of, and we each
only have one, so doesn’t it deserve the

Ganbat Puntsag was a lawyer before becoming a chef. With over thirty years of
culinary experience, Chef Puntsag pairs
his Japanese Izakaya and French dining
background into beautifully crafted plates
of familiar Japanese flavors and French inspired plating.
Recommendation:
Sushi sandwich with a 2007 Gruner Veltliner from Austria, a crisp delicate white
wine with spicy notes of pepper and citrus
flavors that balances the complexity and
spiciness of the tuna and layers of flavors
in the dish. Other dishes and wines of
note:
New style sashimi, seared salmon and
yellow tail in hot olive oil with capers,
kaiware, cilantro and daikon sprouts
with the 2007 Austrian Gruner Veltliner.
Gyono tataki, American Kobe beef served
raw with slightly seared edges, with house

best nutrients money can buy? Have our
priorities been so awkwardly skewed that
future generations will look back and
laugh at us, the way that we look back
and laugh at the fact that women weren’t
allowed to vote and people thought disco
was cool?
Heck no! I left these backwoods hippie
friends of mine to their devices, shaking
my head at their primitive philosophy.
Flat-panel TV’s, trips to Jamaica, and
awesome video game systems—those are
priorities. Food? That’s just something
to keep you going so you could earn
enough money to buy more stuff to put
in your house. Truly the ignorant are
blessed. I feel bad for my friends because
their house doesn’t even have a TV. It just
makes me wonder what they stare at for
six hours a day while they sit on their
couch. The wall? “We prefer to read,”
they said. My God, the horrors they are
inflicting on their 4 year-old, who will
grow up not knowing the joys of “Law
and Order SVU”.
Really, this whole hype about organic
food really is just a fad. Like capitalism
and the Internet. I believe in a healthy
diet, and so I am going to eat more vegetables. And I encourage you to do the
same. But there’s no point spending five
dollars for a pound of organic broccoli
when you can get regular broccoli for 99
cents a pound. I’ve eaten tons of pesticide-flavored vegetables, and I haven’t
gotten cancer yet. This is irrefutable proof
that regular food is safe for consumption.
Let me know your thoughts on this. I
have to go call Child Protective Services.

American communities are met.” Yamaguchi was a director in the Office of Management and Administration at the White House. Prior to this position, she worked in the
Office of Public Liaison on the signing of the executive order establishing the President’s Advisory Commission on AAPIs. She worked as an attorney in private practice.
Yamaguchi earned a bachelor’s degree in political science and public communications
from American University. Yamaguchi also earned a juris doctorate from the Seattle
University School of Law. Yamaguchi’s appointment is effective Nov. 2nd.
After an extensive nationwide search, the
NAPCA Board of Directors named Christine
Takada, President and
CEO of the National
Asian Pacific Center
on Aging. Takada has
been serving as Interim
Christine Takada
President & CEO since

The National Youth/Student Council of the Japanese American
Citizens League (JACL NY/SC), the youth arm of the oldest and
largest Asian Pacific American civil and human rights organization in the United States, calls upon Secretary Ken Salazar
of the United States Department of Interior and members of
Congress to revise plans for a power line which would run
through the Minidoka National Historic Site in Idaho. While
a power line can bring much-needed energy to the citizens of
Idaho and Nevada, the JACL NY/SC believes that the power

ternment camp in Idaho.
piece of America’s collective history. As descendants of nearly
120,000 people of Japanese ancestry who were forcibly interned in ten internment
camps and United States Department of Justice camps during World War II, the JACL
NY/SC feels strongly about preserving and protecting the integrity of those sites. The
Minidoka National Historic Site serves as a crucial reminder to all Americans of how
fragile our Constitution can be in times of crises, and that we must be vigilant and true
to the principles of our nation so that this episode is never repeated.
BANK OF AMERICA

Chinese
Alternative
Medicine Lures
Many in a
Recession
Many patients who
can no longer afford health care are
flocking to local acupuncture clinics for
free Chinese medicine treatments, reports New America
Media. This year, the
number of walk-ins at the ACTCM Auricular Clinic, funded by American College of
Traditional Chinese Medicine, has nearly
doubled. During one four-hour session in
September, a record 71 patients walked
into the clinic, says a superviser. Since the
economic downturn, clientele has shifted
from low-income families, students and
homeless people to middle-class, white
and unemployed patients. According to
a clinic survey, nearly half of the patients
who visit the clinic are uninsured and
nearly all of the patients earned a monthly income of less than $2,400. A regular
check-up with a Chinese medicine practitioner can cost between $40 and $60,
and each packet of Chinese medicine is
approximately $5.
Equality California Hails Signing
of Federal Hate Crimes Law
Equality California, the largest statewide lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender-rights advocacy organization in California, hailed the signing of the Matthew Shepard and James
Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, a federal law combating hate crimes against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals. Earlier this year, Equality California sponsored companion resolutions that call on the United States Congress to immediately pass and President Obama to sign the Matthew Shepard Act, which expands
the landmark 1969 United States federal hate crimes law to include crimes motivated
by a victim’s real or perceived gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and disability.
The federal bill is named after Matthew Shepard, the gay University of Wyoming student
who was targeted, tortured and brutally murdered by two men in 1998 because of his
sexual orientation.
Senator Inouye the third longestserving senator in U.S. history
It’s a landmark for the powerful lawmaker who has held a seat in
Congress for as long as Hawaii has been a state: 47 years. Daniel Inouye’s career has included being a member of the Watergate investigative committee in the 1970s, chairman of the Iran-Contra probe
in the 1980s, and current chairman of the Senate Appropriations
Committee. Inouye is the first Japanese American to serve in both
the Senate and House of Representatives. He took office the same
day the islands became a state 50 years ago, on August 21, 1959.
Senator Daniel Inouye
Three years later, he was elected to the Senate. With 17,095 days
in the Senate, Inouye trails only West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd and the late South
Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond in career longevity. But a recent issue is getting the
Senator negative attention. Sen. Inouye is reportedly considering altering a provision
in an amendment that would prevent the government from working with contractors
who denied victims of assault the right to bring their case to court. Defense contractors
say the amendment would leave them overly exposed to lawsuits and at risk of having
contracts dry up.
New Study: AAs Losing Out On
Government Contracts Nationally
A new study by UCLA researcher Dr. Paul Ong revealed that Asian Americans win
the fewest contracts when it comes to local, state and federal minority governmentcontracting programs. That finding and others were revealed to a group of Asian Americans who gathered in Atlanta for a “sneak peak” at Ong’s yet-to-be-published study.
“We were disappointed, but not surprised, to learn that disparity still exists across the
board,” said Aarathi D. Haig, staff attorney at Asian American Justice Center (AAJC).
“While some progress has been made, racial discrimination unfortunately is still alive
and well.” AAJC commissioned the study, which focused on government contracting
in the San Francisco, Chicago and Atlanta metropolitan areas. Among the findings are:
Korean Americans have the highest self-employment rate among Asian Americans but
still do not earn as many dollars as their non-Hispanic white counterparts; and racial
discrimination has created a significant barrier for Asian American entry into social
networks, where contracting deals often originate and close.
Immigrants Comprise Nearly OneQuarter of U.S. POPULATION
The U.S. Census Bureau recently released data on the Latino population of the United
States that underscores the extent to which the immigrant experience is embedded in
the social (and political) fabric of the United States in three important ways: Nearly one
out of every four people in the United States in 2008 was either an immigrant or the
child of an immigrant; Immigrants who are naturalized U.S. citizens (and entitled to
vote) accounted for 5 percent of the total U.S. population in 2008; Two-in-five immigrants came to this country before 1990 and therefore have deep U.S. roots. More than
one-third of Latino immigrants came to the United States prior to 1990.

A Personal Take on the History of
Asian American Cuisine
By Shalin Hai-Jew
IE Contributor
Shalin Hai-Jew works as an instructional designer at Kansas State University.
She has a book forthcoming from Information Science titled “Digital Imagery and
Informational Graphics in E-Learning: Maximizing Visual Technologies”
in November 2009.
Living again in the Midwest, I am hardpressed to find a few good restaurants
serving my favorite comfort foods: chicken chow fun noodles, various assortments
of dimsum, and Chinese broccoli. What
passes as Asian American food in multiple
Midwestern states is a very bland sushi,
cheese-topped baked mussels, fake crabmeat doused in mayonnaise, and biscuits
baked around wieners at all-you-can-eat
establishments.
The History of Asian American Fare
Asian foods were first introduced to the
US with the arrival of Chinese laborers in
the 1850s to California, and most of their
creations were consumed
by the male migrant
laborers in their ghettos.
This cuisine became more
popularized in the 1920s
among Jazz Age cosmopolitan youth. However,
it wasn’t until World
War II that Chinese and
Japanese foods entered
the mainstream. Then, in
the 1970s, the influx of
Vietnamese, Hmong, and
other Southeast Asians
introduced yet other peoples’ food traditions to
the US.
The website, Asian
Nation
(asian-nation.
org) separates the various
Asian food origins into larger regions. The
southwest style includes foods from India,
Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Burma (described
as flat breads, kebabs, mutton, rice and
beans). The northeast tradition stems
from China, Korea, and Japan—with a
focus on rice, meat stir-fried with vegetables, stews, and various raw fish. The
southeast style hails from Thailand, Laos,
Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia,
Singapore and Brunei (for example, stirfried, steamed, or boiled foods seasoned
with herbs and citrus juices).
The foods of a place and a people
evolve from the local wild animals and
crops, domesticated food animals and
crops, the local climates, and human
ingenuity. Foods are prepared in numerous ways—roasted, boiled, baked, stirfried, steamed, or left raw—after various
preparations with sauces, cuts, and intermixing of ingredients. People’s palates are
informed by their childhood foods and
food experiences and then their sense of
adventure as they are further exposed to
the world.
The Americanization of Asian Fare
The Americanization of the traditional
Asian diets has resulted in the infusion of
more meats, deep fried foods, and food
colorings into the various dishes. Some
menus in restaurants offer Americanized
dishes for those who speak English but
offer more traditional fare to those who
speak the local language or know to
request particular foods.
High delicacies—those with medical
potency, unusual flavors,
elusive
ingredients—
never appear on any
menus. These would
include stewed brain,
deer antlers, shark’s fin,
bird’s nest, and ginsengbased stews, for example. Other dishes which
would not appear would
likely be those that would
not directly appeal to the
mainstream palate—like
cooked loaves of fat,
sliced thin, and topped
with spices; deep-fried
frogs;
syrup-covered
deep-fried bananas; stirfried silkworm larvae;
bean-filled lollipops, or
shapeless Northern Chinese-style baozi.
Those who travel to Asian countries
would be hard-pressed to find similar fare
in their restaurants or street food vendors.
While the Asian Food Pyramid from the
USDA and HHS shows more of a focus
on primary foods such as rice and noodles
and vegetables, with meat eaten more
rarely, Asian American diets have aligned
with the mainstream American ones sufficiently to change the health effects of
the larger consumption of high calories,
animal meats and fats, and sugars.
While traditional meals were occasions
for socializing, ceremonial events, and
business meetings (think of feasts and hotpots), the Asian American approach has
involved fewer interactions, as a reflection
of a more individualistic and less communal lifestyle. The focus on efficiencies in
American fast-food preparation has meant
a greater use of pre-packaged foods. The
focus on value has resulted in the increasing amount of food portions.
The federal focus on food safety means
that few of the vibrant street foods found
at vendors and open-air markets throughout Asia exist stateside.
Also, inventive Western cooks have
made foods that have little tie-in to actual
formal cuisines of Asian countries. There
are widespread mentions of how fortune
cookies came from Japan, not China.
“Chop suey” is a Western creation of
odds-and-ends, not something that typical
Chinese would go to a restaurant to eat.
Many adaptations may be localized ones
and are influenced by the backgrounds of
the various cooks.
Jennifer 8 Lee, author of “The Fortune
Cookie Chronicles”, makes the point
that there are numerous types of fusion
Chinese food that she encountered in her
around-the-world search for Chinese food
for her book: French-, Italian-, British-,
West Indian-, Jamaican-, Middle Eastern-,
Mauritian-, Indian-, Korean-, Japanese-,
Peruvian-, Mexican-, Brazilian- and other
cultural amalgams.
Fusion Asian American Cuisine
Fusion refers to the combination of
culinary traditions. While these approaches were initially more common in highend chi-chi restaurants, Asian American
fare has been a favorite for such mixing
and matching. Now, such practices have
become much more popularized in populist restaurants and even in airport eateries and the frozen-food aisle of the local
grocery stores.
Different types of rice (and flavors
of rice) may be integrated into sushi.
Northern-style flavored meats are used for
the Southern influenced dimsum. Salads
are topped with a nori-topping and misoinfluenced dressing.
Fusion itself is all about mix-andmatch based on the chefs’ inspirations
and diners’ palates.
There are deep-fried salmon rolls
dipped in Chinese hot-mustard sauce.
Lamb basted in hot Korean spices. Jiaozi
dumplings filled with seafood mixtures.
Spring rolls filled with crabmeat. Fusion
cuisine is about mixing and matching.
What fuses well then is a matter of taste
and aesthetics.
I “fuse” (as an amateur) at home when
I mix ingredients for different effects (or
because I don’t have the core ingredients
at home). And my Pacific Northwest palate has been honed well to the nuances
of Asian American fare, so when I come
across an interesting mix (mix-up?) at a
local Midwestern eatery, I have to remember where I am and call it good (and
maybe call it “local fusion”).

Unagi, uni, abalone, sea cucumber,

“Where did this fish come from? Are

Convenience and just plain hunger

A Feast on
the Food
Industry
The economic crisis
has a starving effect
on APIA restaurant
owners and workers.
BY NICK WONG
IE Contributor
Nick Wong is a
graduate from
the University of
Washington and is
now a professional
nobody. He also likes
to watch fish swim.
These days eating out is considered a
luxury. With our pockets slashed in the
midst of an economic recession, “eating
in” becomes more frequent, and “dining out” a rare occasion. But how does
it affect the other side of things? From
family-owned businesses to corporate eateries, restaurant owners to restaurant servers, the food industry has seen a drastic
downsizing in recent years. In an industry
dependent on consumer incomes, as our
own paychecks go down, theirs do as
well.
“Percentage wise, [the economic crisis] has affected me pretty noticeably,”
says Jason Luke, a server at a local waterfront restaurant. “I make just enough. I
wouldn’t say I’m struggling, but I’m not
comfortable.”
Luke has worked in the food industry
for nearly a decade, assuming almost
every position in the business, anywhere
from the backroom dishwasher to assistant manager. But despite the smaller
paycheck, Luke isn’t too worried, as his
seniority safeguards his employment.

weathered incredible adversity,
such as the traumas of the mid-70s
Cambodian killing fields, and the
difficulties of starting a business as
an immigrant, the recent economic downturn presents yet another
obstacle.
“There are a lot of people cautious. They don’t spend much
money now,” says Ung. “Before we

now, not so much.”
However, the Noodle House

Sub Sand

(between Jackson St & Jefferson St)
Seattle, WA 98104
With crispy
and toasted
sub-sandwiches with
regular condiments,
Sub Sand
offers a variety of toppings that
entices our
sweet and spicy taste buds. An order
of the barbeque pork sandwich
includes a pile of dai-kon, freshly
stripped carrots, cilantro, choice of
onion and a special in house sauce
topped with jalapeño juice and pepper. While Sub Sand can tailor to
traditional Vietnamese flavored meat like
lemon grass chicken, customers can also
enjoy a range of mainstream choices like
hamburger steak and turkey. “We started
out with Vietnamese sandwiches, said
Tom Dang, owner of Sub Sand. “And
then we expanded to be cross-cultural
so we can combine all the best things
into one-of-a-kind.” Each sandwich is
perfectly constructed to create a tower
of fresh ingredients strategically piled on
top of one another—providing fulfilling
bites each time. Other than sandwiches,
Dang also offers other suggestions. “The
satay beef rice noodle and the Look Luck
(Pan Fried) beef fried rice are one of the
best items on our menu.” Located in the
International District across the street
from the post office and near the bank,
Sub Stand is perfect for working people
on short crunch -time lunch breaks.
Unicorn Crepes

Seattle, WA 98104
A French delight with
a Japanese twist. Unicorn Crepes’ menu
offers a hot, savory
section with choices
like tuna, ham and
chilidog. Suggested
by one of the crepe
makers, the Okanomiyaki savory crepe will
fulfill the lunchtime crave. With eggs,
ham, shredded cabbage and added
cheese, Okonomiyaki leaves a simmering seared and grilled flavored taste. To
satisfy the sweet sensation, customers
can binge on choices of fresh fruit like
strawberries, banana or blue berries
stuffed with custard, pudding, daifuki
(tiny mochi balls) or ice cream. Watch
as a scoop of batter is melted into a paper-thin layer on top of the griddle as it
heats into a golden- brown color. Like

tells you which to avoid, which are good
alternatives, and which are best choices.
“We’re now working with large food
service organizations, who want to work
within our guidelines—consumer demand
is behind that,” says Alison Barratt of the
Monterey Bay Aquarium. “Ideally we
wouldn’t need a pocket guide because
everything would be certified with a
label, but until that happens, we’re going
to keep asking these questions.”
The Marine Stewardship Council’s rigorous third party certification program
evaluates fisheries on their sustainability and environmental impacts. “There
is market incentive for fisheries to enter
the voluntary certification program and
carry the MSC ecolabel, especially given
the surge in major retail, food service and
other global seafood businesses making a
commitment to source MSC-certified seafood,” says Kerry Coughlin in the MSC’s
Seattle regional office.
Here are some tips on how to
make a difference in our oceans:
1. Ask restaurants where seafood comes
from, and keep asking if you don’t get
an answer. The more people ask where
the seafood comes from, the more likely
they’ll want to come back with a good
answer.
2. The smaller the fish, the better. Smaller
fish are lower on the food chain, have
fewer contaminants and are quicker to
reproduce. Instead of making a tuna sandwich, try mackerel, sardines or herring.
3. Make your seafood at home—you’ll
have a better idea of where it came from,
whether it be at local seafood markets, or
straight from the docks.
4. Pick up the check. You can do the ordering, and make the most sustainable
choices.
5. If you really can’t resist the bad stuff,
make a donation to an ocean conservation group. Consider it like buying “ocean
credits.” Some local groups are: Seadoc
Society, People for Puget Sound, Northwest Straits Commission.
6. Support the long-term solution: Marine
Protected Areas are underwater parks that
give the ocean’s fisheries a chance to recover, and repopulate the seas. Efforts are
underway right now to implement them in
California and Oregon.
Some to Avoid
(and there are others):
• Bluefin tuna—it’s severely overfished,
and has high mercury levels. Sea turtles,
sharks and seabirds all get entangled due
to catching bluefin.
• Yellowtail (or hamachi)—Their facilities spread disease and pollution, and rely
heavily on using wild fish for feed.
• Freshwater eel (or unagi)—Juveniles are
taken from the wild and then farm-raised,
putting pressure on wild populations.
About 90 percent of eel sold in the U.S.
is farmed.
• Shark fin soup—A third of open ocean
sharks are now threatened with extinction.
As top predators, they serve an important
function in balancing out complex marine
ecosystems.
• Farmed
salmon—Farming
salmon
spreads diseases and parasites to wild
salmon, which are threatened.

With several

the Rice n’

convenient route because of its drivein service. Reminiscent of a Dick’s
Drive-Thru, Rice n’ Roll on Rainier Ave
provides great parking space and an atmosphere that makes customers want
to stand along the counter tops for a
friendly conversation. Although Rice
n’ Roll reflects many Japanese sushi
choices like the California, Spicy Tuna
or the Rainbow, the restaurant infuses
other Asian flavors like the Bulgogi roll,
a Korean-style marinated beef with lettuce and carrot. Or, the Thai Chicken
roll marinated with Thai sauce. To create its local niche, Rice n’ Roll offers
the Seattle roll with salmon, the Bellevue roll with spicy hamachi and its very
own Rainier roll with spicy scallop.
Rice n’ Roll offers bento combos that
come with crunchy edamame (green

spicy options that can warm bellies including their Kim Chee fried rice, Hwae

RECIPE CONTRIBUTED BY ALBERT SHEN, owner of Shen Consulting, Inc. a
project/construction management company specializing in airport capital projects.
He is board president of the NW Coalition of Asian Pacific Americans and Board
Chair of the Seattle Chinatown International District Preservation Development
Authority.
With such great local Dungeness crab in this area, this dish is very
easy to make and is one of my favorites. This dish can easily feed one
crab per person. It can get messy but
tastes great and can be paired with a
great Chardonnay. Or if you are not
in the mood for wine, try a bottle of
good, dry, crisp, cold sake. —Albert
Ingredients:
1.0 - 1.5lb live Dungeness Crab
2 inch ginger root, slice into thin medallions
5 stalks of Scallion (green onions), cut into 2 inch
pieces
3 Garlic cloves minced
1/4 cup chicken broth
2 tbsp Shao Xing cooking wine or for extra kick,
use whiskey
3 tsp soy sauce
1 tsp Chinese white pepper
1 tsp sugar
½ handful of Chinese chili dried peppers
1 tbsp of Chinese peppercorns
Cooking oil (Vegetable)
Instructions:
• Kill the crab by steaming the crab for no more than 10
mintues.
• Remove the underside flap, crab gills, mouth mandibles
and stomach sack and discard.
• Twist off legs and claws then crack them with a kitchen
mallet or back of knife.
• Break the body in half and cut them into 6 pieces.
• Prep the garlic, scallions and ginger.
• Heat up a wok with about 10 tbsp of cooking oil on high
heat until the wok is very hot.
• Throw in ginger, garlic, dried chili peppers and 1/3 of the white part of the scallions in
the wok and stir-fry for 30 seconds.
• Add in cooking wine and stir-fry for another 30 seconds.
• Add chicken broth and stir for 1 minute.
• Add in crab parts and stir-fry for another 3 minutes.
• Add in the rest of the scallions, remaining ingredients and stir-fry for another 2 minutes.
Remove crab and place aside on a plate. Enjoy!
This is an easy dish for parties inspired by a great appetizer cookbook from a friend that featured phyllo cups. I thought wonton cups
would be easier to assemble than
working with phyllo. This appetizer
is always a crowd-pleaser, if nothing
else because I think people love eating anything out of miniature containers! —Hyeok
Chicken salad ingredients:

8.
Two chicken breasts
1 cup of sugar snap peas
¾ can of corn
1 cup of red cabbage
½ small red onion
½ cup of plum sauce
Mayonnaise and sour cream
Scallions
Directions:
• Salt and pepper the chicken breasts and marinate in olive oil for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Pan fry the
breasts until browned on both sides and cooked through,
about 20-25 minutes total. Let the chicken rest until cooled
and then dice into small cubes. Place in a medium bowl.
• Briefly submerge sugar snap peas in boiling water for
about 2-3 minutes, and drain. Roughly chop the peas into
thirds or fourths. You want the peas to still have some snap.
Add the peas to the bowl.
• Dice ½ small red onion and chop red cabbage (about 1
cup) into thin julienne strips and cut into roughly 1-inch lengths.
• Add the chopped red onion, red cabbage, and ¾ can of corn into the bowl.
• Before adding wet mixtures, toss the dry ingredients, chicken and vegetables, together.
• Start adding mayonnaise and sour cream, about ¼ cup each to start. Don’t let it get
too wet.
• Gradually add up to ½ cup of plum sauce.
• Keep adding mayonnaise, sour cream, and plum sauce in equal measures until mixture is thoroughly coated. You don’t want to add too much of the wet mixture or else
the sauce will be too thin.
• Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Thinly chop scallions at a slanted angle and set aside.
To make wonton cups:
• Take 1 pkg of square wonton wrappers and lightly coat with melted butter on one
side.
• Place 1 wonton wrapper dry side down in a mini-muffin pan. Shape into tulip-shaped
cups.
• Bake in a 350 degree (F) oven until the wontons are slightly browned.
To assemble:
• Take 1 wonton cup, gently fill with the chicken salad filling, and top off with a few
slivers of the chopped scallions.
• Arrange on a flat platter and enjoy!

ShiItake mushroom,
tofu, and green
mango spring rolls
with spicy peanut
dipping sauce
Recipe Contributed BY VU LE,
Executive Director of the Vietnamese
Friendship Association, an organization that empowers the Vietnamese
community to succeed while bridging,
preserving, and promoting cultural
heritage.
There is nothing that tastes of
home like fresh spring rolls with
a thick, spicy peanut sauce.
Whenever I came home from
college many years ago, I would
stand at the door, anticipating
the aroma of home-made delicacies that would waft from Mom’s
kitchen. None of those aromas
would be spring rolls, because
obviously they have no scent, as
anyone who has eaten a good
spring roll knows. Mom actually
never made spring rolls, so I had
to invent some. One of the great
things about these rolls is that
you can customize them. This
combo below has never failed
to please. I’m terrible at math, so
use the numbers only as a guide.
—Vu
Ingredients:
Rice paper
1 package small rice noodle (There’s a billion types and brands; go with “Bun Giang
Tay So Nho”)
1 tray fried tofu (get the ones that are in little
rectangles)
1 firm green mango
1 bunch cilantro
1 bunch basil (the purple-stemmed variety)
1/2 head greenleaf lettuce
3 cups sliced dried shitake mushrooms (or
fresh, if you’re all fancy and stuff)
3 cloves of garlic, finely diced
1 tbsp vegetable oil
1 tsp hot chili sesame oil
1 tbsp soy sauce
Sauce: 1 cup creamy peanut butter, ½ cup
hoisin sauce, 1.5 cup water, 1 tbsp sriracha
sauce (optional), 2 tbsp ground peanuts
(optional)
Cook the noodles, then drain and flush
with cold water. Put your dried shitake
mushrooms in water so they rehydrate
while you do the other stuff. Meanwhile,
peel and cut the mango into strips about ¼
inch thick and set aside. Cut the tofu pieces
lengthwise and set aside. Wash your herbs
and lettuce. By this time, the shitake mushrooms should be fully rehydrated. Squeeze
most of the water out of them. Heat up
the oil, toss in the garlic, mushrooms, hot
chili oil, and soy sauce, and cook stirring
frequently for about a minute or two. Add
more soy sauce and chili oil according to
your preference. To make the sauce, stir the
peanut butter, hoisin sauce, water, and sriracha sauce together over medium heat until
it starts to slightly boil; add roasted ground
peanuts for texture. Add more water if it gets
too thick.
Assemble the rolls by laying out a piece
of rice paper dipped quickly in hot water.
In what order you assemble the roll is up
to you, but I usually put the lettuce on first, followed by the herbs,
then the noodle, then a strip or two
of mango, tofu, and some shitake
mushroom. Experiment until you
get the right balance of textures and
flavors. This should make about 18
rolls or so. Sweet, spicy, tangy, salty,
and mostly healthful, it’s the perfect
appetizer to pair with beer for an
elegant evening get-together.
Recipe for Ful

RECIPE CONTRIBUTED BY ALARIC

Information Services Center (CISC), an

Brussels last year, I was in the
African immigrant neighborhood
of Matongé and had a chance
to sample dried grubs (well, one
anyway) and chikwangue, which
is sort of like a tamale make from
manioc paste.
When I can’t travel (which is
most of the time) I like to try out
new dishes in the kitchen. I never
know what it’s really supposed to
taste like, but sometimes I find a
recipe for something really good.
This recipe for Ful is one of them.
It’s actually supposed to be made
with fresh fava beans, but I don’t
even know what fava beans are,
much less where to get them! So
I just use dried black beans and
it comes out good anyway. The
people who invented it in Egypt
are probably rolling over in their
sarcophagi! Great on a hot summer day with Jajoukh (cucumbers with yogurt) and some pita.
—Alaric
• Soak 2 cups black beans overnight, pour
out water, then cook with about 8 cups of
water for about 2 hours until tender.
• Drain beans and toss with 1/3 cup olive
oil, 5 cloves pressed garlic and ½ cup lemon
juice (more to taste).
• Add plenty of salt and black pepper to
taste.
• Stir in 1 cup chopped tomatoes and ¾ cup
chopped parsley.
• Put in a large serving bowl, top with ½
cup chopped tomatoes and ¼ cup chopped
parsley.
• Garnish with lemon wedges and quartered

Cookbooks Get the Taste Test
Recipes are just the beginning. Cookbooks serve
as a diary of memories, stories of families and as a
reminder of our identity.
BY VINH DO
IE Contributor
Cookbooks are more than recipes. They hold standards for posterity. They preserve
memories of dishes made, savored, and loved. They are testimonies of cooks who
have lived through eating, dining, and feasting. They are ultimately stories containing
recipes.
The four cookbooks in this collection play a dual role—repositories of stories
and manual of cooking instructions. The dishes within them, originating primarily
in Southeast Asia, can be found in other books about cuisine from this region. Their
authors, however, take on this subject matter with a personal twist.
1. “Secrets of the Red Lantern – Stories and Vietnamese Recipes from the
Heart” (Andrews McMeel Publishing, LLC, 2008). By Pauline Nguyen.
Pauline Nguyen’s “Secrets of the Red Lantern” is
half biography, half cookbook, and all glamour. Its
gorgeous cover, binding, photos, and quality speak to
the best the publishing world offers. The dishes—set
in exquisite ceramics and earthenware—are handsomely styled in photos that would tempt any novice
to cook the items presented. Yet, the most alluring
aspect of this book is its author’s voice. She writes of
being born into a family with deep roots in the food
business in her native country, Vietnam, and in her
current home, Australia. Growing up with a tyrannical father, a former South Vietnamese army officer,
who played out his post-traumatic stress disorder in
the disciplining of his children and on the relentless
pursuit of running his own restaurant, she ran away
from home at a young age and found herself returning again to the restaurant business as an adult. She
manages the restaurant Red Lantern in Cabramatta, Australia, now with a husband and
a brother who are both chefs. This book is her coming to terms with her origins. She
tells of a time she had to cancel an invitation to a feast at the last minute knowing that
her father had prepared her favorite meal, Bun Bo Hue, and hearing the disappointment
in his voice. In her experience, food can be a basis of so many things—a vehicle for
business and a way to communicate emotion and love. And depending on the hands
that prepare the meal, it can be nourishing or punishing, painful or pleasurable.

COOKBOOKS, Continued from Page 11
2. “The Asian Grandmothers Cookbook – Home Cooking from Asian Americans Kitchens” ( Sasquatch Books, 2009). By Patricia Tanumihardja.
If Pauline Nguyen’s book is biographical, then Patricia
Tanumihardja’s “Asian Grandmothers Cookbook” is encyclopedic. Ms. Tanumihardja, a food writer who has written
for Saveur, Sunset, and Seattle Metropolitan, has enlisted
the help of grandmothers from Seattle and beyond. Hers
is the only book in the collection with the distinction of
‘cookbook’ in its title. She culls recipes from grandmothers
from Japan, Taiwan, Myanmar, Korea, and India, among
other places, and writes about their culinary influences.
From this concept, one would expect the book to be colorful. It is not. Ms. Tanumihardja skims the superficialities
of each life she profiles. Her premise that grandmothers
play a special role in imparting love of food and love of
cooking in families is only half-true. The truth, found in
the very stories of the grandmothers, is that necessity breeds innovation. Some of the
grandmothers taught themselves or took cooking lessons. This is true even of the great
chefs of our times. Her best work lies in the excellent research behind a chapter on the
must-haves of an Asian pantry. She instructs that Thai basil is not Italian basil, explains
the differences in chilies, differentiates between cilantro and culantro, distinguishes
between varieties of rice and noodles, tells why Asians wash their rice and finally, discloses what goes into the making of those pungent shrimp pastes.
3. “Cooking from the Heart – The Hmong Kitchen in America” (University of
Minnesota Press, 2009). By Sami Scripter, Sheng Yang.
“Cooking from the Heart–The Hmong Kitchen in America” is also encyclopedic in its effort. This time the story is
of Hmong cooking. Published by University of Minnesota
press, the book is part history lesson and part anthropology of the ‘why’s and ways of Hmong food. The author,
Sami Scripter, was an educator in the school system and
it shows. She and co-author Sheng Yang are both at pains
to be accurate, explaining that “no comprehensive written record of Hmong cooking seemed to exist” and that
cooking is passed on through oral traditions and through
memory. The book would be better perhaps with fewer lessons and more recipes.
Ms. Scripter and Ms. Yang differentiate between the
dishes and ingredients found among the Hmong in Asia—
the Hmong are dispersed throughout Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam—and
dishes and ingredients found in America. Their book concedes to the fact that food
differs in the hands of those who make it and by the seasonality and availability of
food where it is made. What is noteworthy about this book is the cultural information
embedded—poems written by the Hmong people, explanations of food used in weddings and funerals, and types of items used for healing. What is lacking is some sort
of angle or lure to entice a reader to make the very food contained in this exhaustively
researched book.
4. “Wild, Wild East — Recipes and Stories from Vietnam” (Barron’s, 2008). By
Bobby Chinn.
The lure of “Wild, Wild East” is Bobby Chinn himself.
Mr. Chinn is both chef and restauranter. His business, Restaurant Bobby Chinn, in Hanoi, is a crossroads of points
international, and from there he makes both Vietnamese
dishes and hybrid dishes mixing culinary traditions from
his childhood and travels. (He is Chinese and Egyptian and
has worked in San Francisco, New York, London, Paris,
Saigon, and Hanoi.) His cookbook may be the only one
dedicated to Vietnamese dishes that is written from Vietnam itself. The book begs comparison with Pauline Nguyen’s “Secret of the Red Lantern”. Both contain personal
stories and recipes. But where Ms. Nguyen weaves meaningful recipes into the narrative of her life, Mr. Chinn tells
his story and the story of today’s Vietnam straight. And his
story is one of failures and successes in doing business in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi
and the consequences of playing nice and not-so-nicely with the Vietnamese. The dishes he writes about are those made using local ingredients and those borne of experience
gained through travel and work. Having been a TV presenter on the Discovery Channel
and the UK’s BBC2, Mr. Chinn puts the force of his personality into his dishes and cookbook. The dishes are audacious and fearless and his recounting of misadventures and
fortunes in Vietnam somehow impregnate the dishes with urgency and immediacy as if
one is tasting and seeing the food as it looks in Vietnam today. It helps that the pictures
appear to come from National Geographic. From this book, I would venture to make
Canh Chua Cá Lóc and Ceviche with Mangosteen Vinaigrette.
In all their different ways, the books here prove one point. Cooking is about those
who cook and those who come to the table. If differs in the hands that prepare it and in
the experience of those who savor it. A daughter recollects it. A food writer assembles
food from different places to demonstrate this truth. A teacher impresses the importance
of its social functions. And a chef bends tradition to incorporate modernity. Cooking,
then, is a way of living. And cookbooks tell us how to live it.
