chinese food? Yes please

over the past year I dawned on me that I've focused so much on cooking non-asian food that, well quite frankly, I miss it!

I cooked up a pot of taro with fresh ginger and chicken, baby bok choy with sliced mushrooms and a dash of sesame oil and garlic ... that was so damn good. Part of why I was cooking so much non-asian food was because I felt it was necessary for me to really have a round view on cooking. I know I can cook chinese food I grew up cooking this stuff. Since i was a little kid I would always be in the kitchen helping my mom prepare all the food and watching her and at big family dinners all the aunts and my grandma make amazing food.

I'm becoming too american perhaps in trying to cook traditional american food. I do make a really solid roast tenderloin though. Back to my roots and chinatown!

Viva la...Taro!
