SIMPLE GARNISHES
Once you begin Asian cooking, you will want to make the most of each
dish by adding attractive food decorations. Here are a few suggestions:
Celery Tassels
Wash the celery stalks and cut into approximately 2 inch lengths. Cut
lengthwise at narrow intervals nearly to the base. Leave celery tassel in a
bowl of cold water to curl.
Scallion Brushes
Using scallions, cut green stalks in approximately 2 inch lengths. Cut
down the lengths at narrow intervals to just half way. Turn and cut from
other side. Leave in a bowl of cold water to curl.
Radish Roses
Make 6 to 8 cuts lengthwise through the radish from the heart of the stalk.
Place in cold water until they open like flowers.
Twists
Oranges, lemons, and cucumbers can be easily twisted. Thinly slice fruits
or vegetables. Cut each slice through the center. Then twist the two halves
in opposite directions.
Carrot Curls
Using a potato peeler, peel carrots wafer thin. Twist the slices and fasten
with a toothpick. Place in a bowl of cold water to curl.
