My friend, and Chef, Jill Smith gave me this recipe and a whole bunch more to share with you for our Meatless Monday sessions.  We’re going to head to Asia for the next few weeks.  One of the keys to preparing Asian Cuisine is to have all of your ingredients prepped before you start cooking ~ you’ll thank me for that tip:)
