From: “Anca I. Busuioc”

kidney beans with an oriental twist :^)

2 1lb cans kidney beans (i used Goya, those are some BIG beans…)
1 huge onion
2-3 cloves garlic
few drops sesame oil
few tsp szechuan sauce
1 tsp Vegeta (optional; this is a powdered vegetable mix used 4 soups)

i cooked this in a wok (lovely non-stick one) but you could use a heavy
big pan. put pan on medium-high fire. let it get hot. coat the bottom
with a little sesame oil. saute onions (_not_ garlic). meanwhile
open cans, drain one, keep the liquid from the other. take a few beans
adn mash with a fork (about 2tbsp of ‘em) til creamy. when onions are
translucent, add beans, mashed beans, and juice from 1 can. cook for
a couple minutes, add szechuan sauce (taste first! it could be too hot
or too mild for you :^) i used 3 tsp.) add Vegeta. mince/crush garlic
cloves, but only add them in _after_ you turned off the fire. mix
into beans, cover, let sit a few minutes. the hot beans will cook the garlic
but most of the flavor will still be there (i don’t like to saute garlic
first because most of the flavor is gone by the time dish is ready… a
matter of taste, i suppose)

serve over rice. should serve 3-4ppl. this recipe was adapted after
something i read on a can. i think this provides the best taste-per-
effort ratio…

From the August issue of Gourmet magazine.

Once steeped, this vinegar is supposed to “keep for several months.
(Garnishes and other solids left in the jar, however, may discolor or
break down.)”

Lemongrass Vinegar

3 stalks of lemongrass
2 cups rice vinegar
Slice thin the bottom 8 inches of the lemongrass stalks, put
the slices lemongrass in a very clean 1-qt glass jar, and bruise
it with a wooden spoon. Add the vinegar and let the mixture
steep, covered with the lid, in a cool dark place for at lease 4
days and up to 2 weeks, depending on the strength desired.
Strain the vinegar through a fine sieve into a glass pitcher,
discarding the lemongrass slices, pour it into 2 very clean 1/2
pint glass jars, and seal the jars with the lids.
