Definitely pasta with an oriental flair. Bean sprouts, sesame oil and soy sauce are tossed into freshly cooked fettucine pasta, with a sprinkling of garlic, white pepper and cayenne. And a splash of sesame seeds when you bring it to the table.
A sweet, savory saute of bell pepper, green onion and bean sprouts is tossed with strips of cooked chicken and angel hair pasta, and coated with an exotic blend of peanut butter, soy sauce, chicken broth and fresh ginger.
Coca is a crust or pastry that may have a sweet or savory topping. This savory coca is an everyday Catalonian dish and would make a tasty main course dish. We used leftover Samfaina topped with ricotta cheese (which is very similar to the fresh cheeses you would find in Catalonia) and sprinkled with kosher salt. You could also top it with greens, pine nuts, and paprika.
This popular Southeast Asian street fare is known as mee goreng (fried noodles). Look for the sweet bean sauce and noodles (which are sometimes frozen) at Asian markets; substitute dried linguine for lo mein. You can always use less chile paste to make a milder version.
A blanc de noirs, with its fruity, hint of vanilla flavor, is a great sparkling wine choice for this recipe. We also suggest using Lady or Gala apples.
It is hard to find scratch strawberry cakes, so this one is worth it weight in gold to me as a caterer. Frost with cream cheese or vanilla frosting - or for a treat, use a chocolate glaze!
