so once again i found myself scratching my head as to what to make for a get together. this time, mostly my fault as i prolly could've spent more time thinking about what to make and not put certain restrictions on myself...
#1 it had to be a side
#2 it needed to be something that i could bring easily and not require reheating
#3 and prolly the most difficult, i needed to use something from my farm fresh delivery
so this was for an after church gathering for our asian connection group with an asian new year theme... oh, let's make that #4...
dang it!
so i cheated...and went easy...because i had nothing and by the time i really needed to decide there was no time to run to the store. ok...what do i have in the fridge... frozen shelled edamame and frozen corn....hmmmm...
in the pantry? i have some shallots and some cilantro from farm fresh and some soy, sesame, ginger dressing from trader joe's...
done.
2 packs of frozen edamame
1 small pack of frozen corn
2 large shallots, diced
1 small hand-full of cilantro, rough chopped
trader joe's soy-vay dressing
white wine vinegar
sugar
kosher salt
fresh ground pepper
i pickled the diced shallots over night in a mixture of white wine vinegar (in hindsight red wine vinegar better for the color), sugar and kosher salt.
the edamame and corn i let defrost overnight in cold water and then heated in the morning before adding into a mixing bowl with the sesame ginger dressing, shallots and cilantro. kosher salt and ground pepper to taste and done!
we'll see how it goes. it tastes...ok to me. nothing spectacular...actually, rather ordinary...maybe under-whelming... we'll see...
i'll prolly write more about the asian group at church another time? i just wanted to get this one down before i forgot...
happy eating!
