BREAKFAST --- coffee
LUNCH --- rice with boiled greens and red pepper
AFTERNOON-TEATIME --- plums | tea
DINNER --- Kung Pao chicken ( stir-fried diced chicken and roasted peanuts with caramelized onion and Sichuan hot chili and peppercorn) | sauteed bean sprouts and smoked tofu | rice | fennel and avocado salad | red wine
- chicken cut to small pieces absorbs flavors from spices and other ingredients, homemade Kung Pao is much less "saucy" and much spicier than what is usually dished out at Americanized Chinese restaurants
