Recipes

I came across a few recipes this weekend that I thought were worth making a note of: 

• One was for scallops - using a marinade of honey, mustard, butter, ginger, and lemon pepper gave a nice interesting flavor.  A slight challenge is to figure out how to cook the scallops such that they brown on the outsides, without burning the marinade sauce in the pan

• Another was for a Korean beef mushroom hotpot-type dish - just combine several different types of mushroom (e.g. shitake, button, oyster, and enoki) with some beef; add broth and boil until cooked.  Other ingredients that can be added are scallions, carrots (cut into matchsticks), soy sauce, and rice wine vinegar.

•  The other was for a warm Tofu dish - the whole tofu block is boiled to warm it up; and a sauce made of soy sauce, sesame oil, scallions, and sugar (or maybe honey) is heated up and poured over the tofu
