2 cup cooked millet
6 tbsp mirin or dry sherry
1 10-oz package of tofu,
1 diced
3 tbsp soy sauce
3/4 cup chopped snow peas
1 1/2 tbsp rice or cider vinegar
3/4 cup frozen peas, thawed
1 clove garlic, minced
1 8-oz can sliced water
1 chestnuts
1 tsp sugar (or other sweetener)
1/2 cup chopped scallion
Directions
In a large bowl, combine the millet, tofu, snow peas, peas, water
chestnuts, and scallion.
In a small bowl, stir together the mirin, soy sauce, venegar, garlic,
and sugar. Pour over the salad and toss to combine.
Although the original recipes didn't say to, I let both of these
salads chill for awhile to let the flavors blend before I served
them. I think that this step is a particularly good idea for the
Asian Millet salad, as it allows the tofu to absorb the flavors of
the dressing. If you try these, I hope you enjoy them as much as I
did!

The History of Recipes
Experts have traced the existence of recipes back into distant history, certainly as far back as the Egyptians, and maybe even further. Having said that, these, old cookbooks were just basic hieroglyphic or cunieform recipes for food preparation.
During the time of the Roman Empire a man called Apicius compiled a number of scripts describing recipes cooked by wealthy roman citizens. In his works, Apicius tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were split into appetizers, entrees and dessert, known in latin as `Gustatio, Primae Mensae and Secundae Mensae`. Aspicius also recounts how the cooks of his times used many herbs and spices, including some familiar names such as thyme, mint and asafoetida. In the fifteenth century, knights returning from the crusades brought us many foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including spices such as coriander, parsley, and basil. These new culinary innovations led to a surge in recipe publications, the majority of which are kept safe in private libraries. By the arrival of the 20th century, recipe publications are in high demand, due to more people being able to read, leisure time and disposable income. |
