You cut the garlic in the kitchen
prepping dinner for bean curd and
spinach. Tofu pressed and ready to lightly fry
to a toasty brown crispness, a
contrast to the soft spinach and inner curd.
They said half a clove of garlic you call to
me. So you put in three? Something
like that. Combining three recipes to
perfection, the right spices, sweet and
hot, mild and spicy. Soy sauce, light or dark,
a teaspoon sugar, you cut the garlic
They said half a clove of garlic, but
can you have too much? Add some
peppercorns. Wait, where did the mild
go? Toss together in the wok and add green
onions and fresh spinach. Dinner!

I wrote it as it happened. Turned out well too. 🙂
Sounds delicious! I need to get the receipts that inspired it 🙂
I will get that to you
