I cooked eggplant marinara and whole wheat spaghetti on Friday night for my last pasta-lovin dinner for eight days (trying to be a good jew this year and keep kosher for passover... I cheated on saturday night in the midst of general drunkeness I forgot and ate some definitely not-kosher for pesach cereal... damnit! but I had matzo farfel in the morning to make up for it...) Anyway, I digress. Last night I had the disntinct displeasure to sit next to the BF while he chowed down on the eggplant marinara and spaghetti with an apple flavored italian sausage on top mixed with (wait for it) mixed vegetables and steamed tofu in garlic sauce from Banana Leaves <a target="_blank" href="http://www.mybananaleaves.com/BLMenu.htm" rel="nofollow">http://www.mybananaleaves.com/BLMenu.htm</a>. Ewwwwwwwwww. AND he said it was good.</p> Speaking of mixing asian food was some weird as things.

You can mix it around in the pan to ensure even distribution. i would cook everything up like you did and pour the egg in after. You can mix it around in the pan to ensure even distribution.

You can just use the tortilla de patata (aka tortilla espanola/aka tortialla de papas) flip technique... haven't I shown you this? When you think it's ready to flip, put a plate face down on your pan. Hold firmly to the top of the pan and flip it over, holding it above your shoulder like a waiter with a tray. Then you lift the pan off, and the cooked side of the "tortilla" is face up on the plate. Put the pan back on the burner and then slide the tortilla into the pan... The good thing is that is slides easily because of the uncooked eggs... Does that make sense? Might require a visual. not so g.

I really like it when you recook noodles in a pan and you get a crispy brown coating thing going on. As for the cohesiveness, is it the cheese that holds it together in that spaghetti recipe? I guess you can't do cheese in Asian, huh? hmm, I dunno, good q. wow I love this idea. I really like it when you recook noodles in a pan and you get a crispy brown coating thing going on.
