What's for Dinner, Fri., Nov. 21, 2025

Appetizer: salmon salad on whole wheat crackers.

Wonton (shrimp) soup.

Garlicky stir-fried broccoli.

Dessert: Chocolate truffle bar. Turns out I didn't devour it all in the traffic jam the other night on the way home from the store. I found a few squares in the car.
That won't be enough dessert on a Friday night, though! I intend to have another bowl of light vanilla ice cream with my homemade blackberry sauce on it.

Recipes for the Chinese dishes are from Emma Chung's Easy Chinese Food Anyone Can Make.
I love these recipes because they don't call for a lot of ingredients and they really are pretty simple.

This plant-based chili is spicy, and complex. A mix of legumes are stewed with Mediterranean and Middle Eastern spices to create a comforting yet new take on everyone’s favorite chili. A drizzle of creamy tahini on top is refreshing, and a side green herby sabzi rice is the perfect complement to round out the meal.
