Guest guest Posted February 7, 2002 Report Share Posted February 7, 2002 Wonderful Sue. That's really neat that Tim has been asked back for an encore next year. I've decided to take my Tim with me and show him off a bit (he reads beautifully) when I do a workshop on education with a group of teachers and paras. It's a bit scary, but I'm going to have a wealth of information. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Dumplings are definitely not GF, in fact sometimes rice paper although GF is brushed with white flour to prevent sticking! You can pick up Vietnamese Summer Rolls (rice paper soaked in water, stuffed with a clear rice noodle, carrots, shrimp or chicken and herbs. What city are you located?This is the closest suggestion I have to a Chinese dumpling! Robinrobin@...

I have a wonderful recipe for a Taiwanese dish called "bao wan" here:http://www.sanbeiji.com/archives/843It requires a large steamer and a few small porcelain rice bowls to use for molding them into the right shape. This is one of my favorites!Cheers,Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Hi Marci, You might check in with Zadin's, a Cambodian restaurant on 18th at on -- they have gf items marked on the menu and may have something similar to a Chinese dumpling; or may even be willing to make up a recipe for you. (As an aside, they also have delicious gf fried calamari..) Tristan**************A Good Credit Score is 700 or Above. See yours in just 2 easy steps!

Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 I have been looking for a GF Bao recipe for years now. THANK YOU!!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted January 21, 2009 Report Share Posted January 21, 2009 Oh yes, that calamari alone is worth the trip... *swoon* wasn't that inspired by the other items I had but Ohhhh the calamari. - PS Sadly, I don't think Zadin has anything similar but it is a fun stop anyway. Wish SF was a bit more convenient... > > Hi Marci, You might check in with Zadin's, a Cambodian restaurant on 18th at > on -- they have gf items marked on the menu and may have something > similar to a Chinese dumpling; or may even be willing to make up a recipe for you. > (As an aside, they also have delicious gf fried calamari..) > > Tristan > Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I bought a rice wine (mirin) once, and it was awful.You are most welcome!There is nothing worse than cheap, badly-made rice wine. This stuff is pure and is the only rice wine we use for cooking: Taiwan Hong Biou michiu. It is available at 99 Ranch Market and other Asian grocery stores around the Bay Area. The label is mostly in Chinese, but it does say "cooking michiu", "fortune brewery international co. ltd.", and "imported by SSC International Inc." and they have a few pictures of it here:http://www.wine4us.com/Taiwan_Liq08.htmThe front of the bottle has this text in red that looks like the following (hopefully this will come out on the other end--some computers may not have Chinese-capable fonts installed, in which case this will look funny--please ignore):臺ç£ç±³é…’Which reads "Taiwan mi jiu". Worst-case scenario if you can't find it - print this email (or that web page I indicated earlier if the fonts come out garbled) and take it to the manager at your nearest 99 Ranch, Lion Market, or other major Chinese grocery outlet and they'll get it for you or something equivalent.And have a happy new year/gong xi fa cai!-Joe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
