Title: Vegetarian Ham (Buddhist)
Categories: Chinese, Vegetarian, Ceideburg 2
Yield: 1 appetizer

2 oz (3 sheets) dried bean curd
3 tb Soy sauce
2 tb Water
1 Level teaspoon sugar
1/2 Level teaspoon MSG
1 Level teaspoon fennel
1/2 Star anise
2 Cloves, crushed
1/2 Level teaspoons wild
-pepper, crushed.
-[Szechwan peppercorns S.C.]

“The Buddhists, whether monks or ordinary people, mingled freely with
the non-vegetarians, and because the manners of Chinese society are
all-embracing and diffuse, felt obliged to provide food which looked
and almost tasted like meat. This was a sign of hospitality. Their
cuisine was based on nuts, spices, vegetables, sauces, sesame, peanut
and vegetables oils, and bean curd. The last was the factotum, now
appearing as duck, then as chicken, then as fish. Its very lack of
personality made it an excellent actor.”

Soak the bean curd in water for about 1/2 hour until soft. Mix
together the remaining ingredients, and marinate the bean curd in
this mixture for about 2 hours.

Select the largest and smoothest sheet and lay it on a flat surface.
Place the remaining sheets on top of it evenly, so that when rolled
up it will form a cylinder of regular dimensions. Roll it up VERY
tightly. Place it on a single piece of cheese-cloth or old sheet and
roll it up, with the cloth overlapping both at both ends. Tie the
bundle at both ends like a toy firecracker at the two points where
the bean curd ends. Steam the roll for about 1 hour. Cool the roll
and unwrap it. Slice the roll into 1/4-inch slices and serve cold.

Title: White Beans with Sage
Categories: Main dish
Yield: 4 servings

1/4 c Olive oil
3 lg Garlic cloves, peeled and
-minced
1 cn White beans (2 cups)
1 t Dried sage leaves
-OR
1 tb Fresh sage leaves
1 c Chicken broth
1 1/2 t Cracked pepper (or freshly
-ground)
12 oz Small shell noodles
1/2 c Parmesan or Asagio cheese
Salt

Heat olive oil in a wide skillet and add garlic. Cook briefly. Add
white beans and heat through. Add sage, broth and pepper. Lower heat
and simmer.

Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add noodles. Cook until al
dente; they should be cooked through but just barely. Drain pasta
well. Place in a large serving bowl and toss with beans and about
half the cheese, salting to taste. Top with remaining chesse. Garnish
with fresh sage, if you have it. Serve with baked carrots and
Italian-style bread (or bread of choice).

In the summertime, you could add a cut-up garden tomato, or several
quartered cherry tomatoes.

To bake carrots: Peel and trim 4 or 5 large carrots. Cut them on the
diagonal about 1/2″ thick. Toss with 1 tablespoon olive or vegetable
oil. Spread in a 9×13″ baking pan (or on a shallow baking sheet).
Season liberally with salt and pepper and bake at 400’F. for 30
minutes, or until browning and tender. These are also good if you
throw in a few chunks of red bell pepper.

White bean vegetable soup: Add a diced carrot, onion and rib of
celery to the olive oil when you add the garlic. Cook until soft,
then proceed with recipe. Add a can of water when you add the broth.
Cook 8 ounces of noodles separately as instructed in the recipe, then
add to soup, adding more water or broth if you think the mixture is
too thick. Serve in bowls with cheese on top.
