CASHEW DIPPING SAUCE (ZWT II - ASIA)



Cashew Dipping Sauce (Zwt II - Asia) image

This recipe has been entered for ZWT II. It was found on the net courtesy of The Straits Cafe at straitscafe.com. The intro was brief & said "Use as a seafood dip or as a tasty sauce for wraps." Somehow the thot of a lettuce wrap w/stir-fried chicken & this sauce captured my imagination. This is so easy & fast to make & can be made well-ahead of planned use.

This is good on cooked rice, steamed broccoli, or baked eggplant slices. It is also a good accompaniment to curries and stuffed cabbage. I got this from Moosewood Cookbook.

TAMARIND CASHEW SAUCE (DIP OR SAUCE...LOTS OF VARIATIONS)



Tamarind Cashew Sauce (Dip or Sauce...lots of Variations) image

I've made it as a sauce for everything from fresh veggies, fresh fruit (especially apples), to lettuce wraps. Also makes great sauce for main dish of meat, chicken or seafood. I've also made a great pita sandwich using the sauce with chicken and apples! Inspired by Cheesecake Factory's dipping sauce! Takes about 15-20 mins to prepare depending on kitchen efficiency, but allow a minimum of 30 mins to cool and set.

STRAWBERRY-BANANA TOFU PUDDING (ZWT II - ASIA)



Strawberry-Banana Tofu Pudding (Zwt II - Asia) image

This recipe has been entered for ZWT II & was found on the net courtesy of The Straits Cafe at: straitscafe.com. Per the intro ... "Tofu for dessert? Well, you've never had a treat like this!" I don't know how a recipe could be any easier than this, but plan ahead as this needs to chill overnight. The 5 min prep time of course doesn't include the chilling time. :-)
