Hi all! Hoping you guys have some thoughts/recipes to add to my repertoire.
I made this dish last week for a lunch w/my cousin.
It was delicious but it really used a lot of soy sauce and sesame oil. She's my size 0 nursing mom cousin so I'm not so concerned about calories when hosting her although I was sort of worried about how much sodium I served her (she laughed and said, "I don't look at that stuff!" ah, the beauty of youth and genetics). Anyway, I loved that the meal was totally assembled and in my fridge when she arrived and we whipped it out and ate as the baby allowed.
I'm sure I could strip down some of the bothersome ingredients etc. but I was hoping some of you might have ideas for other dishes that prepare well ahead of time and are so easy to make a beautiful presentation. I have been entertaining a lot lately and most of my guests don't have the freedom to eat something this generous in sodium! Not to mention, I shouldn't be making a habit of it.
BTW, I'll be glad to post the recipe if anyone does have an occasion for it. It is from a cookbook the local Junior League puts out so it's unlikely you'll find it elsewhere (although something similar I'm sure is around).
