Feeling terribly lazy last night, I picked up a package of vegetable dumplings at Don Quijote (a Japanese grocery store chain that has a location here in Hawaii). They turned out pretty well and has inspired me to relearn how to make dumplings!
Dumplings!
Chile Cornmeal Fried Tofu
Written by Hey Buko on Thursday, March 25, 2010 | No Comments
Every now and again I decide to cook something new and random. I was flipping through a cookbook when I found a recipe for chile cornmeal fried tofu. It actually turned out tasteless, but crunchy. I’m for sure making it again, but using a lot more spices next time.

This is a prototype of a project I’m thinking about doing. I want to take pictures of various homeless and socially outcasted people throughout Hawai’i, and then make postcards for tourists to send home so the illusion of paradise can be broken down…or something…I’m not really sure anymore. Anyway, here’s the example. It’s a picture I took on my walk home from work one night of a homeless person sleeping in the window of a fancy children’s bed store.

I slept on my floor of my dad’s apartment in Boston for the whole summer of 2005. This is the panoramic view from the rooftop.

Sandwich: Generic veggie patty, pineapple with cinnamon, pickled red onions, condiments, fresh French bread. | Skewer: red bell pepper, pineapple with cinnamon, white wine and apple cider vinegar marinated seitan
I was in New York for a day or two over the summer visiting my friend, Alison. She, among many other things, has been a great resource as I improve my cooking skills. One thing she had that really knocked my socks off was quick picked red onions.
Boiling them down
It’s so easy to make, too. All you really do is blanch red onions, cut into rings, and then boil in vinegar, sugar, chili oil, and spices (star anise, bay leaves, pepper corns, etc).
Cooling them down
Once they’re a nice pink color, transfer into a jar, then cool down in the refrigerator.
Chowing them down
They go awesome on burgers, sandwiches, beans, and really anything. I eat them straight from the jar a lot.
