seaweed & potato crisp salads

Potato chips + salad? Why not?
Mesclun, daikon, carrot, and crispy potato with ginger dressing.


Wakame and green and red seaweeds. Vegetables in tofu sauce in the background.
From Hibino in Brooklyn.

stewed daikon & beet greens

Stewed daikon with scallions, ginger, garlic, sesame oil, and cilantro, from Madhur Jaffrey's World Vegetarian bookbook.
Improvised beet greens (free from the farmers market) with sweet hoisin sauce.

Senegalese vegetable stew with "fish" balls

A veggie adaptation of tart vegetable stew with fish balls, from the sultry Seductions of Rice cookbook. Fishballs made of tempeh, parsley, scallion, garlic, cayenne, and salt. Stew packed with daikon, carrots, tomatoes, cabbage, and onions, in a vinegar, tamarind, garlic, and chili sauce.

sushi boat & caterpillar

A sushi boat docked at Toronto's Sushi Island, bearing precious treasures: avocado sushi, inari tofu sushi, cucumber avocado sesame rolls, and daikon, kanpyo, and mushroom rolls (if I recall correctly).


And a caterpillar that somehow escaped from the boat, despite lugging around cucumber, mushrooms, seaweed, and yam, not to mention a hefty avocado coat.
