Daikon radish salad

From:

I made it with scallions instead of watercress, added salt, and used rice wine vinegar instead. It's very refreshing!

Jaime's Rice and Beans

1c cooked brown rice
1c cooked red kidney beans
1 1/2c diced red pepper
1/2c sliced scallions
1T olive oil
1T white wine vinegar
1 tsp cajun seasoning

Chinese Style Stir-Fry Cabbage

Slice or mince garlic.
Slice scallions (all of white, some of green)
Chop green cabbage.

Saute garlic and scallions in canola oil.
Add some sliced/minced ginger if desired (I used a spoonful of jarred ginger)
Add cabbage and some water (about 1/4 cup for a small cabbage), stir around and cover, let simmer until cabbage is soft.

Add a sprinkling of toasted sesame oil and about a teaspoon of soy sauce.

The first time I ate this alone, next to sesame noodles with garlic (will post recipe). When I ate the leftovers, I mixed it will linguine and broccoli. It was even better.
