A couple of nights after the great falafel excursion. My wife called on the way home from work and asked what we wanted from the Bamboo Restaurant. Now normally, I order Sweet and Sour Chicken, because I know that it purees well, but I've been trying to test out appetizers. Although, my children only eat the vegetarian ones, my wife indulged me, and got pork.
I've tried to stay strictly on whole meals in this blog, but there are times when friends are doing an appetizer only kind of dinner - then what do you do?
MAKING PEKING RAVIOLIS
My inability to make Peking Raviolis from scratch is right up there with making Falafel - I leave it to the experts and order-out.
PEKING RAVIOLIS
It's pretty straight forward. Raviolis of any style have a great ration of stuffing to starch. Very easy to puree. The only difficult part is to decide - steamed or fried.
Steamed puree easier and there is less worry about chunks in the puree. Fried taste better. So it matters more are you drinking it or pouring it down the G-tube.
GREEN TEA
My secret is that leftover Peking raviolis from the refrigerator are great pureed in hot green tea. I posted on line that green tea is an excellent cancer fighter, and my friends gave me a lot of teas. Both loose and bagged, so I have a lot of options when it comes to which variety to choose from . . .
FROZEN
Frozen from the grocery store is another option. The major issue is that I recommend over-cooking them to make sure that they are soft enough to puree
