Asian Show Saturday - Recipe Tips?

[dlw068]

I have not demonstrated the new asian fare yet. This sat will be my first time - Has anyone tried this and can you give me some tips as to what works, what doesn't, what would work better, etc...

Also, I am looking for a dessert to bring w/ the same theme. Any suggestions?

I've done the potstickers at a few of my shows. What I've found that works really well, is to recruit 3-4 people to come up and help me make them. Otherwise it will take forever to do all of them. It also gets them out of the seat and becomes an interactive show! The ones that have come up and helped me (so far) have bought all of the tools to make them at home themselves! (small scoop, pastry brush, large round stone & rack) Let them tell everyone what they like about the tools they are using! If it comes from friends, it's more believable than coming from us sometimes!

As for a dessert, I've done a microwave cake using the stoneware fluted stone. Not exactly asian, but it has gone over really well! Maybe you could make some sugar almond cookies. I've gone to chinese restaurants before and they have had them for the kids for a dessert. You might be able to find a recipe and use the cookie press for them?!

I haven't tried the new Asian fare yet, but I've heard good things about it. Some tips for cooking it would be to make sure you use fresh ingredients and to not overcook the meat or vegetables. Also, don't be afraid to add some extra spices or sauces to enhance the flavors.For a dessert, you could try making a mango sticky rice, which is a popular Asian dessert. It's made with sticky rice, coconut milk, and ripe mangoes. You could also try making a green tea cheesecake or a matcha tiramisu. Both of these desserts incorporate traditional Asian flavors and would be a great way to end the meal. Good luck with your dinner!
