Remoulade Sauce Ingredients and Preparation 

This remoulade sauce is an excellent alternative to tartar sauce or cocktail sauce. It's the classic addition to oyster or shrimp po' boy sandwiches, and it's great with other varieties of fried fish or seafood. It makes an excellent burger topping, too!

Remoulade is a sauce or dressing of French origin. The sauce frequently contains horseradish and a New Orleans style remoulade sauce sometimes contains chopped hard-boiled eggs.

This version does not use horseradish, but feel free to add about 1 to 2 tablespoons if you'd like. The chopped cornichon pickles, capers, and mustard add fabulous flavor to the mayonnaise, and the flavor is similar to tartar sauce.

If you can't find cornichons, use chopped sour or dill pickles or dill pickle relish.

3/4 cup mayonnaise
1 1/2 tablespoons cornichon (finely chopped, or good dill pickle relish)

Chinese Strawberry Almond Tofu Dessert Ingredients also Preparation 

 Chinese almond tofu (杏仁豆腐), otherwise known as Annin tofu, is a popular dessert throughout the Far East. Annin tofu is a soft jellied dessert made of amongst other things agar and sugar and we always serve it with icy cold syrup and diced fruit. The almond tofu itself is diced into a small diamond shape.


The name tofu refers to the texture of the jelly and because almond tofu is usually made in square shapes with a white color but it’s not actually tofu, only in shape and texture.



I made this dish in a non-traditional way for making Almond tofu dessert. The traditional way is to use milk instead of soy milk and cut the almond tofu into small diamond shapes surrounded by syrup and diced fruit such as watermelon, strawberries, mango, kiwi, pineapple, lychee, and melon. I made the strawberry sauce and placed it in the bottom of the dish and there are some fresh diced strawberries in the sauce as well. I garnished this dessert with elderflowers, strawberries, and blackberries. You can change the fruit on top to anything you like.


Even though my recipe isn’t the traditional way of preparing this dessert it is very tasty and all of the ingredients are very easy to get hold of. Elderflower might be a little challenge to obtain but it’s entirely optional.


I highly recommend preparing this dessert well ahead of when you want to serve it as this dessert takes time to set. You can also make this in large quantities.

Chinese Strawberry Almond Tofu Dessert Ingredients 

For the Strawberry Sauce:
100 grams fresh strawberries (or frozen strawberries)
100 grams caster sugar
70 milliliters water
2 teaspoons corn flour
1 tablespoon water
For the Almond Tofu:
1 liter soy milk
4 pieces gelatin
150 grams caster sugar
200 grams almonds (peeled)
100 grams water
Dash of almond extract
Garnish: fresh strawberries, blackberries and elderflower
Steps to Make It
Make the Strawberry Sauce
Gather the ingredients.


Use a food processor or smoothie machine to purify fresh strawberries then put into a small saucepan along with the water and sugar. Bring this to the boil.

Mix the corn flour with 1 tablespoon of water in a separate bowl and gradually stir into the saucepan from step one to ensure an even texture. Bring the sauce to the boil again after adding corn flour water. Once it has boiled pour the sauce into a bowl and allow it to cool down.

Chinese Strawberry Almond Tofu Dessert Preparation   

Make the Almond Tofu:
Gather the ingredients.

Use a food processor to blend the almonds almost to a powder texture.

Put the ground almond, soy milk, water, sugar, and almond extract into a saucepan and bring this to the boil. Once boiling allow it to simmer for 1 hour but stir occasionally while simmering to make sure it doesn’t burn on the bottom of the pan.

After 1 hour, pass the mixture through a sieve as we don’t want any lumps of almond. After passing through allow the mixture to cool down a little. Soften the gelatin and stir this into the cooled mixture. Cooling the mixture down before adding the gelatin is essential otherwise the gelatin would be destroyed at a high temperature.

Once you have added gelatin allow the mixture to cool down until the dish is warm but not hot. At this moment you can prepare the glasses for pouring the mixture into.

In the glass or dish that you choose to use, place small diced fresh strawberries at the bottom and cover this with strawberry sauce. This should fill about one-fifth of the glass/dish. Being gentle cover the strawberry sauce with tofu mixture until about 4/5's of the glass is filled. Repeat this method and leave the almond tofu in a fridge until it has set (this should take about a couple hour but we left it overnight.)

Once the dessert has set, place fresh strawberries, blackberries, and elderflower on top and it’s ready to serve.

Kayseri Style Meat-Filled Dumplings Ingredients With Easy Cooking Method

If you're planning a trip to Turkey, you must put meat-filled dumplings topped with garlic yogurt, or 'mantı' (mahn-TUH'), on your to-eat list. If you've already been to Turkey, you may have tried this classic dish that's loved by adults and kids alike.


There are many ways to prepare 'mantı.' This ancient dish has a lot of history behind it. Did you know that versions 'mantı" are found all throughout central Asia? The one enjoyed most in Turkey is 'Kayseri mantısı,' that is, 'mantı' from the Anatolian city of Kayseri. It's known for the tiny size of the dumplings and a tangy tomato sauce drizzled over the garlic yogurt.


Try this recipe for 'Kayseri mantısı' at home for a taste of Turkish regional cuisine and a new twist on Italian-style ravioli. All you need is a pasta machine and a rolling pin. Or, go the easier route and purchase pre-made wonton wrappers.

Kayseri-Style Meat-Filled Dumplings Ingredients 

1 package fresh wonton wrappers
or

4 cups flour
1 tsp. salt
2 eggs


1/2 pound ground beef, or a mix of ground beef and lamb
1 onion (grated)
2 tablespoons parsley (finely chopped)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
Optional: 1/2 teaspoon cumin powder
Optional: 1/2 teaspoon dried mint
Optional: 1/2 teaspoon sweet paprika or ground cayenne pepper
For the Broth:

4 cups water plus 1 teaspoon salt (or beef bouillon)
Optional: 1 tablespoon tomato paste
Optional: 1 tablespoon sweet pepper paste
For the Sauces:

2 to 3 cloves garlic
3 cups plain yogurt
2 tablespoons butter
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/3 cup water

Kayseri-Style Meat-Filled Dumplings Easy Cooking Method

To make the dough yourself, slowly mix together the flour, eggs, and salt with a fork. Slowly knead in enough water to make a firm, uniform dough. Roll it out into thin sheets with a rolling pin on a floured surface, or use a pasta machine to make sheets of dough. If you're using wonton wrappers, take them out of the refrigerator and lay them out on a clean surface until they reach room temperature and soften.

Grate the onion finely and squeeze out the extra liquid in a fine wire strainer. Put the ground meat and spices together with the onion in a large bowl and knead them together for several minutes. Classic 'mantı' calls for salt and black pepper, and sometimes parsley, but you can add other spices, too. Experiment and find what you like best.

Using the tip of a sharp knife, cut the lasagna sheets or wonton wrappers into small squares. You can start with squares about the size of postage stamps. Place a piece of the filling about the size of a chickpea in the center of each square.

Starting with the first square, use your fingers to pinch together two opposite corners in the center over the filling. Then, pinch together the other two corners at the center. Your finished dumpling should have a star pattern with all the corners pinched together at the center. Repeat this will all the squares.

In a large saucepan, combine four cups of water with 1 teaspoon salt and bring to a boil. If you're using beef broth, be careful to check the salt content first. You may not need extra salt. You can also add 1 tablespoon each of tomato paste and sweet pepper paste to the broth if you wish.
Add the dumplings to the broth and let them cook for several minutes. Cooked 'mantı' will usually float to the top, but test one before you decide. The dumplings should be tender but still, hold together when cooked.

While the dumplings cook, prepare your sauces. For the yogurt sauce, crush the garlic cloves and whisk them into the yogurt with a wire whisk until creamy. For the tomato sauce, melt the butter in a small pan, add the tomato paste, salt, and water and let the mixture simmer for a few minutes.

Remove the cooked dumplings from the broth with a long-handled strainer, and put them in serving bowls. Add a few spoons of the broth to each bowl. First, top each bowl with a generous amount of garlic yogurt. Finally, drizzle each bowl with a few spoons of the tomato sauce. If desired, garnish with mint, oregano, sumac, and hot pepper flakes.
