Ma's Slaw

I have always been a huge fan of my mom's Coleslaw. Its more sweet then spicy and bitey. (is bitey even a word?)

For this recipe we were complete cheaters and bought the pre-shredded mix.

Here is what mother dearest had to say when I asked for her recipe

"Okay, here's my coleslaw dressing recipe...kinda, cause I don't really measure stuff, you may have to adjust it.
To 1 cup of Mayo, add 2 tablespn white vinegar, 1 heaping tablespn of sugar and some salt and pepper; maybe about 1 half teaspoon of each. That's it."

As far as adjustments, i found it needed a little more sugar and pepper. Also I added raisins!

Yummy Yummy Raisins. Trust me. It totally changes the taste. So good!

Also, just a small note. When your starting to mix things up, your probably going to be thinking " Hmmm I think I need more Mayo" TRUST ME! You don't. Just keep mixing it up.

"Just keep Mixing, Just keep mixing....."

Enjoy!

Miso Horny? Miso Stir-Fry

The other night Emmett and I made a yummy Miso stir fry to celebrate the purchase of our fancy new wok.

Because this dish was made before we thought of making the blog, there arnt any pictures of the food. Sorry.

So to make the miso dressing (is dressing the right word? Topping? Awesomesauce?) we used;

3 Tablespoons miso paste

3 Tablespoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon honey

We ended up chopping way to much veggies and had to double this.

Heat 2 tablespoons Peanut Oil in the wok with 3 pressed garlic cloves and about half a large onion.

Sautè until onions are clear.

Now here is where the fun part of stir fry kicks in. You can ad what ever veggies or meat (or meat substitute) you like. We used

• 1 brick extra firm tofu, marinaded in Soy sauce for 10 min, then pan grilled till some what golden brown
  
• 1 orange, yellow, and Red bell pepper
• 2 green onion stalks
  
• 1 celery stalk, chopped
• 2 handfuls of Mushrooms
• 4 baby Bok Choy
  

I think there may have been some other stuff in there. But really you can feel free to use what ever tickles your fancy. (Or what ever is in season and is CHEAP)

So we served the stir fry over rice made in a rice cooker, but this may be something to try over something like couscous.
