Turnover

1-17-2010 Sun. mild, rain

WEEKEND BREAKFAST --- coffee | Chinese scallion pancake | Mandarin orange | Fuji apple
DINNER --- rice soup with side dish of pickled gourd squash and spicy tofu | pan-roasted Northern-Chinese turnover with fillings of flat-leaf chive, mushroom, fried tofu and dried shrimp (jiu-cai he-zi) | green tea

• This is the first experiment on making jiu-cai turnover from scratch. Making the dough is pretty straight forward, but the slow roasting on the stove ( low heat without any oil ) takes more practice.
