LE IE Columnist Someone told me I’ve become “unhealthily chubby.” Unhealthily chubby! That’s ridiculous! If I could find the strength to get off this couch, I’d waddle over to the person and slap him. But still, it does not hurt to eat less carbs and more of these colorful things that the nutritionists call “vegetables.” Today for dinner, I skipped the rice and pasta, and instead had some scrambled tofu and a hefty side of steamed broccoli and red peppers. It was so healthy I nearly couldn’t choke it all down. I’ve never broken my college habits of eating ramen and microwaved pasta. My body isn’t used to nutrients. It has been a struggle to eat healthier. People always say “eat healthier, buy organic, buy local.” You know what, organic, healthy stuff is expensive. When you’re poor, you can’t spend 8 dollars on a pint of organic blueberries at PCC. That’s approximately 1 dollar a berry! No wonder people in America are obese. Not only is fast food like hamburger and fries delicious, it’s also hecka lot cheaper than organic broccoli. I have some poor vegan friends who spend nearly a half of their money monthly on food. “What!” I exclaimed, spitting out a piece of organic pluot they fed me, “You spend three Nintendo Wiis a month just on food?” It boggles the mind. Their point is that 8 dollars for a pint of organic blueberries is totally worth it. “People don’t spend enough on good food,” they said, “in the natural order of things, food that nourishes you should take priority. It’s an investment.” Are they right? Is this true? Ages ago, most of people’s earnings were spent on food. Now, with improvements in technology and economics, survival is not as critical. We can focus on more important things, such as leisurely activities and material possessions; ensuring we get the best food is secondary. But food is what our bodies are made of, and we each only have one, so doesn’t it deserve the Wine Not?

Gambas Japanese and French Restaurant 2230 Third Ave Seattle, WA 98121 (206) 728-5092 Ganbat Puntsag was a lawyer before becoming a chef. With over thirty years of culinary experience, Chef Puntsag pairs his Japanese Izakaya and French dining background into beautifully crafted plates of familiar Japanese flavors and French inspired plating. Recommendation: Sushi sandwich with a 2007 Gruner Veltliner from Austria, a crisp delicate white wine with spicy notes of pepper and citrus flavors that balances the complexity and spiciness of the tuna and layers of flavors in the dish. Other dishes and wines of note: New style sashimi, seared salmon and yellow tail in hot olive oil with capers, kaiware, cilantro and daikon sprouts with the 2007 Austrian Gruner Veltliner. Gyono tataki, American Kobe beef served raw with slightly seared edges, with house tataki sauce and sesame and daikon radish, the well marbled beef, smokiness of sesame and tanginess of finely sliced purple onions paired well with their spicy house Pinot Noir. Kaname Izakaya and Shochu Bar best nutrients money can buy? Have our priorities been so awkwardly skewed that future generations will look back and laugh at us, the way that we look back and laugh at the fact that women weren’t allowed to vote and people thought disco was cool? Heck no! I left these backwoods hippie friends of mine to their devices, shaking my head at their primitive philosophy. Flat-panel TV’s, trips to Jamaica, and awesome video game systems—those are priorities. Food? That’s just something to keep you going so you could earn enough money to buy more stuff to put in your house. Truly the ignorant are blessed. I feel bad for my friends because their house doesn’t even have a TV. It just makes me wonder what they stare at for six hours a day while they sit on their couch. The wall? “We prefer to read,” they said. My God, the horrors they are inflicting on their 4 year-old, who will grow up not knowing the joys of “Law and Order SVU”. Really, this whole hype about organic food really is just a fad. Like capitalism and the Internet. I believe in a healthy diet, and so I am going to eat more vegetables. And I encourage you to do the same. But there’s no point spending five dollars for a pound of organic broccoli when you can get regular broccoli for 99 cents a pound. I’ve eaten tons of pesticide-flavored vegetables, and I haven’t gotten cancer yet. This is irrefutable proof that regular food is safe for consumption. Let me know your thoughts on this.

November 4 - November 17, 2009 —— 3 COMMUNITY NEWS Gregoire appoints new director of Commission on APA Affairs (CAPAA) NAPCA ANNOUNCES NEW PRESIDENT Gov. Chris Gregoire announced Oct. 26 the appointment of Kendee Yamaguchi as the executive director of the Washington State Commission on Asian Pacific American Affairs. Yamaguchi is a third-generation Japanese American born and raised in Washington. “She is an emerging leader who brings a solid record of legislative, legal, management and communications experience to the position,” Gov. Gregoire said. “I know she will build and nurture strong relationships to ensure the needs of our Asian Pacific American communities are met.” Yamaguchi was a director in the Office of Management and Administration at the White House. Prior to this position, she worked in the Office of Public Liaison on the signing of the executive order establishing the President’s Advisory Commission on AAPIs. She worked as an attorney in private practice. Yamaguchi earned a bachelor’s degree in political science and public communications from American University. Yamaguchi also earned a juris doctorate from the Seattle University School of Law. Yamaguchi’s appointment is effective Nov. 2nd. After an extensive nationwide search, the NAPCA Board of Directors named Christine Takada, President and CEO of the National Asian Pacific Center on Aging. Takada has been serving as Interim Christine Takada President & CEO since April. Board Chairman John Q. Duong stated, “Christine is uniquely qualified having already served as NAPCA’s national director of the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP), one of the core services provided by NAPCA. Furthermore, Takada’s over twenty years of public service experience combined with her passion in serving APA seniors reflect the strong dedication that we desire in this position to carry out NAPCA’s core mission.” Prior to her position as National Director of the Senior Community Service Employment Program (SCSEP) with NAPCA, Takada’s work experience consisted of public and non-profit positions including Special Assistant to Illinois Governor Jim Edgar for Asian American Affairs, Public Member of the Illinois Judicial Inquiry Board, Executive Director of the Asian American Alliance and numerous Board positions including the United Way of Chicago, the Asian American Institute and the Japanese American Citizens’ League, Chicago Chapter. Takada will begin her duties as NAPCA President and CEO effective immediately. JACL CALLS FOR HALT OF POWER LINE THROUGH MINIDOKA NATIONAL HISTORIC SITE The National Youth/Student Council of the Japanese American Citizens League (JACL NY/SC), the youth arm of the oldest and largest Asian Pacific American civil and human rights organization in the United States, calls upon Secretary Ken Salazar of the United States Department of Interior and members of Congress to revise plans for a power line which would run through the Minidoka National Historic Site in Idaho. While a power line can bring much-needed energy to the citizens of Idaho and Nevada, the JACL NY/SC believes that the power JAs arrive to the Minidoka in- line has the capability to permanently and negatively impact a ternment camp in Idaho. piece of America’s collective history. As descendants of nearly 120,000 people of Japanese ancestry who were forcibly interned in ten internment camps and United States Department of Justice camps during World War II, the JACL NY/SC feels strongly about preserving and protecting the integrity of those sites. The Minidoka National Historic Site serves as a crucial reminder to all Americans of how fragile our Constitution can be in times of crises, and that we must be vigilant and true to the principles of our nation so that this episode is never repeated. BANK OF AMERICA AWARDS LOCAL HEROES On Oct. 27, the Bank of America awarded their Neighborhood Builder’s Award to Neighborhood House, an organization that aims to alleviate poverty in our housing and general communities in Seattle and King County. This award comes with $200,000 in general agency support. Mark Okazaki, the Executive Director, commented to the IE, “We are honored to be recognized for our work. In today’s economic climate there is much that needs to be done to make sure that the most vulnerable in our community do not slip farther into despair.” Thomas Kobayashi won the Local Hero award from Bank of America. Kobayashi has been a volunteer with St. Vincent De Paul for 73 years. He’s 93 now. He received $5,000 to donate to any organization. 4 —— November 4 - November 17, 2009 INTERNATIONAL EXAMINER AROUND THE NATION Chinese Alternative Medicine Lures Many in a Recession Many patients who can no longer afford health care are flocking to local acupuncture clinics for free Chinese medicine treatments, reports New America Media. This year, the number of walk-ins at the ACTCM Auricular Clinic, funded by American College of Traditional Chinese Medicine, has nearly doubled. During one four-hour session in September, a record 71 patients walked into the clinic, says a superviser. Since the economic downturn, clientele has shifted from low-income families, students and homeless people to middle-class, white and unemployed patients. According to a clinic survey, nearly half of the patients who visit the clinic are uninsured and nearly all of the patients earned a monthly income of less than $2,400. A regular check-up with a Chinese medicine practitioner can cost between $40 and $60, and each packet of Chinese medicine is approximately $5. Equality California Hails Signing of Federal Hate Crimes Law Equality California, the largest statewide lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender-rights advocacy organization in California, hailed the signing of the Matthew Shepard and James Byrd Jr. Hate Crimes Prevention Act, a federal law combating hate crimes against lesbian, gay, bisexual and transgender (LGBT) individuals. Earlier this year, Equality California sponsored companion resolutions that call on the United States Congress to immediately pass and President Obama to sign the Matthew Shepard Act, which expands the landmark 1969 United States federal hate crimes law to include crimes motivated by a victim’s real or perceived gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and disability. The federal bill is named after Matthew Shepard, the gay University of Wyoming student who was targeted, tortured and brutally murdered by two men in 1998 because of his sexual orientation. Senator Inouye the third longestserving senator in U.S. history It’s a landmark for the powerful lawmaker who has held a seat in Congress for as long as Hawaii has been a state: 47 years. Daniel Inouye’s career has included being a member of the Watergate investigative committee in the 1970s, chairman of the Iran-Contra probe in the 1980s, and current chairman of the Senate Appropriations Committee. Inouye is the first Japanese American to serve in both the Senate and House of Representatives. He took office the same day the islands became a state 50 years ago, on August 21, 1959. Senator Daniel Inouye Three years later, he was elected to the Senate. With 17,095 days in the Senate, Inouye trails only West Virginia Senator Robert Byrd and the late South Carolina Senator Strom Thurmond in career longevity. But a recent issue is getting the Senator negative attention. Sen. Inouye is reportedly considering altering a provision in an amendment that would prevent the government from working with contractors who denied victims of assault the right to bring their case to court. Defense contractors say the amendment would leave them overly exposed to lawsuits and at risk of having contracts dry up. New Study: AAs Losing Out On Government Contracts Nationally A new study by UCLA researcher Dr. Paul Ong revealed that Asian Americans win the fewest contracts when it comes to local, state and federal minority governmentcontracting programs. That finding and others were revealed to a group of Asian Americans who gathered in Atlanta for a “sneak peak” at Ong’s yet-to-be-published study. “We were disappointed, but not surprised, to learn that disparity still exists across the board,” said Aarathi D. Haig, staff attorney at Asian American Justice Center (AAJC). “While some progress has been made, racial discrimination unfortunately is still alive and well.” AAJC commissioned the study, which focused on government contracting in the San Francisco, Chicago and Atlanta metropolitan areas. Among the findings are: Korean Americans have the highest self-employment rate among Asian Americans but still do not earn as many dollars as their non-Hispanic white counterparts; and racial discrimination has created a significant barrier for Asian American entry into social networks, where contracting deals often originate and close. Immigrants Comprise Nearly OneQuarter of U.S. POPULATION The U.S. Census Bureau recently released data on the Latino population of the United States that underscores the extent to which the immigrant experience is embedded in the social (and political) fabric of the United States in three important ways: Nearly one out of every four people in the United States in 2008 was either an immigrant or the child of an immigrant; Immigrants who are naturalized U.S. citizens (and entitled to vote) accounted for 5 percent of the total U.S. population in 2008; Two-in-five immigrants came to this country before 1990 and therefore have deep U.S. roots. More than one-third of Latino immigrants came to the United States prior to 1990. Manslaugter conviction for pushing fisherman into lake Last week, a Cook County jury convicted 33-year-old John Haley of involuntary manslaughter for Du Doan’s death. Doan is the 62-year-old VietJohn Haley namese man who was shoved into Lake Michigan and drowned to death in Chicago two years ago. Prosecutors implored jurors to convict Haley of murder, saying they shouldn’t buy his excuse that when he pushed Doan into the water, he did it for a joke and didn’t know the man could not swim. But on late Oct. 23, the jury announced a guilty verdict for involuntary manslaughter. Haley faces a sentence of 2 to 5 years in prison, though the range could be extended to up to 10 years because he has a previous drug conviction.

She has a book forthcoming from Information Science titled “Digital Imagery and Informational Graphics in E-Learning: Maximizing Visual Technologies” in November 2009. Living again in the Midwest, I am hardpressed to find a few good restaurants serving my favorite comfort foods: chicken chow fun noodles, various assortments of dimsum, and Chinese broccoli. What passes as Asian American food in multiple Midwestern states is a very bland sushi, cheese-topped baked mussels, fake crabmeat doused in mayonnaise, and biscuits baked around wieners at all-you-can-eat establishments. The History of Asian American Fare Asian foods were first introduced to the US with the arrival of Chinese laborers in the 1850s to California, and most of their creations were consumed by the male migrant laborers in their ghettos. This cuisine became more popularized in the 1920s among Jazz Age cosmopolitan youth. However, it wasn’t until World War II that Chinese and Japanese foods entered the mainstream. Then, in the 1970s, the influx of Vietnamese, Hmong, and other Southeast Asians introduced yet other peoples’ food traditions to the US. The website, Asian Nation (asian-nation. org) separates the various Asian food origins into larger regions. The southwest style includes foods from India, Pakistan, Sri Lanka, and Burma (described as flat breads, kebabs, mutton, rice and beans). The northeast tradition stems from China, Korea, and Japan—with a focus on rice, meat stir-fried with vegetables, stews, and various raw fish. The southeast style hails from Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, Vietnam, Indonesia, Malaysia, Singapore and Brunei (for example, stirfried, steamed, or boiled foods seasoned with herbs and citrus juices). The foods of a place and a people evolve from the local wild animals and crops, domesticated food animals and crops, the local climates, and human ingenuity. Foods are prepared in numerous ways—roasted, boiled, baked, stirfried, steamed, or left raw—after various preparations with sauces, cuts, and intermixing of ingredients. People’s palates are informed by their childhood foods and food experiences and then their sense of adventure as they are further exposed to the world. The Americanization of Asian Fare The Americanization of the traditional Asian diets has resulted in the infusion of more meats, deep fried foods, and food colorings into the various dishes. Some menus in restaurants offer Americanized dishes for those who speak English but offer more traditional fare to those who speak the local language or know to request particular foods. High delicacies—those with medical potency, unusual flavors, elusive ingredients— never appear on any menus. These would include stewed brain, deer antlers, shark’s fin, bird’s nest, and ginsengbased stews, for example. Other dishes which would not appear would likely be those that would not directly appeal to the mainstream palate—like cooked loaves of fat, sliced thin, and topped with spices; deep-fried frogs; syrup-covered deep-fried bananas; stirfried silkworm larvae; bean-filled lollipops, or shapeless Northern Chinese-style baozi. Those who travel to Asian countries would be hard-pressed to find similar fare in their restaurants or street food vendors. While the Asian Food Pyramid from the USDA and HHS shows more of a focus on primary foods such as rice and noodles and vegetables, with meat eaten more rarely, Asian American diets have aligned with the mainstream American ones sufficiently to change the health effects of the larger consumption of high calories, animal meats and fats, and sugars. While traditional meals were occasions for socializing, ceremonial events, and business meetings (think of feasts and hotpots), the Asian American approach has involved fewer interactions, as a reflection of a more individualistic and less communal lifestyle. The focus on efficiencies in American fast-food preparation has meant a greater use of pre-packaged foods. The focus on value has resulted in the increasing amount of food portions. The federal focus on food safety means that few of the vibrant street foods found at vendors and open-air markets throughout Asia exist stateside. Also, inventive Western cooks have made foods that have little tie-in to actual formal cuisines of Asian countries. There are widespread mentions of how fortune cookies came from Japan, not China. “Chop suey” is a Western creation of odds-and-ends, not something that typical Chinese would go to a restaurant to eat. Many adaptations may be localized ones and are influenced by the backgrounds of the various cooks. Jennifer 8 Lee, author of “The Fortune Cookie Chronicles”, makes the point that there are numerous types of fusion Chinese food that she encountered in her around-the-world search for Chinese food for her book: French-, Italian-, British-, West Indian-, Jamaican-, Middle Eastern-, Mauritian-, Indian-, Korean-, Japanese-, Peruvian-, Mexican-, Brazilian- and other cultural amalgams. Fusion Asian American Cuisine Fusion refers to the combination of culinary traditions. While these approaches were initially more common in highend chi-chi restaurants, Asian American fare has been a favorite for such mixing and matching. Now, such practices have become much more popularized in populist restaurants and even in airport eateries and the frozen-food aisle of the local grocery stores. Different types of rice (and flavors of rice) may be integrated into sushi. Northern-style flavored meats are used for the Southern influenced dimsum. Salads are topped with a nori-topping and misoinfluenced dressing. Fusion itself is all about mix-andmatch based on the chefs’ inspirations and diners’ palates. There are deep-fried salmon rolls dipped in Chinese hot-mustard sauce. Lamb basted in hot Korean spices. Jiaozi dumplings filled with seafood mixtures. Spring rolls filled with crabmeat. Fusion cuisine is about mixing and matching. What fuses well then is a matter of taste and aesthetics. I “fuse” (as an amateur) at home when I mix ingredients for different effects (or because I don’t have the core ingredients at home). And my Pacific Northwest palate has been honed well to the nuances of Asian American fare, so when I come across an interesting mix (mix-up?) at a local Midwestern eatery, I have to remember where I am and call it good (and maybe call it “local fusion”).

Unagi, uni, abalone, sea cucumber, chilled jellyfish, the list goes on. Asian cuisine features some of the most diverse (some may say strange) seafood on its menus. Yes, serve me the whole fish, and fry those spot prawn heads for later! Yet, how many times have you bitten into that piece of tuna sashimi, with a twinge of guilt? “Where did this fish come from? Are all those headlines about the oceans in crisis really true?” Convenience and just plain hunger urge us to finish our meal despite the internal guilt trip, but making seafood sustainable remains a complex and urgent issue that looms like a cloud over our future— and our dinner plates. Between 1950 and 1994, ocean fishermen increased their catch 400 percent by doubling the number of boats and using more effective fishing gear. Worldwide, fisheries throw away about 25 percent of what they catch as bycatch, including dolphins, sea turtles and seals. Will our oceans be able to stand up to the enormous pressures we have put on them? Will our insatiable appetite for seafood ever wane? To play our part means learning more about where our seafood comes from, how it was caught or raised, and learning the difference between “good seafood” and “bad seafood.” The Monterey Bay Aquarium puts out a Seafood Watch Pocket Guide (including a sushi version) which lists various kinds of seafood, and SEAFOOD, Continued on Page 6 Sub-Sandwiches in the style of: Teriyaki, BBQ, Asian Ham, Roast Beef, Honey Ham Turkey, Satay, Pork Chop,Tofu, Hamburger Steak, Lemon Grass, Curry, and Tom Yum.

BY NICK WONG IE Contributor Nick Wong is a graduate from the University of Washington and is now a professional nobody. He also likes to watch fish swim. These days eating out is considered a luxury. With our pockets slashed in the midst of an economic recession, “eating in” becomes more frequent, and “dining out” a rare occasion. But how does it affect the other side of things? From family-owned businesses to corporate eateries, restaurant owners to restaurant servers, the food industry has seen a drastic downsizing in recent years. In an industry dependent on consumer incomes, as our own paychecks go down, theirs do as well. “Percentage wise, [the economic crisis] has affected me pretty noticeably,” says Jason Luke, a server at a local waterfront restaurant. “I make just enough. I wouldn’t say I’m struggling, but I’m not comfortable.” Luke has worked in the food industry for nearly a decade, assuming almost every position in the business, anywhere from the backroom dishwasher to assistant manager. But despite the smaller paycheck, Luke isn’t too worried, as his seniority safeguards his employment.

But while Ung has weathered incredible adversity, such as the traumas of the mid-70s Cambodian killing fields, and the difficulties of starting a business as an immigrant, the recent economic downturn presents yet another obstacle. “There are a lot of people cautious. They don’t spend much money now,” says Ung. “Before we used to get constant business, but now, not so much.” However, the Noodle House owner isn’t worried.

BY AMY HUANG IE Contributor Sub Sand 419 6th Avenue S (between Jackson St & Jefferson St) Seattle, WA 98104 With crispy and toasted sub-sandwiches with regular condiments, Sub Sand offers a variety of toppings that entices our sweet and spicy taste buds. An order of the barbeque pork sandwich includes a pile of dai-kon, freshly stripped carrots, cilantro, choice of onion and a special in house sauce topped with jalapeño juice and pepper. While Sub Sand can tailor to traditional Vietnamese flavored meat like lemon grass chicken, customers can also enjoy a range of mainstream choices like hamburger steak and turkey. “We started out with Vietnamese sandwiches, said Tom Dang, owner of Sub Sand. “And then we expanded to be cross-cultural so we can combine all the best things into one-of-a-kind.” Each sandwich is perfectly constructed to create a tower of fresh ingredients strategically piled on top of one another—providing fulfilling bites each time. Other than sandwiches, Dang also offers other suggestions. “The satay beef rice noodle and the Look Luck (Pan Fried) beef fried rice are one of the best items on our menu.” Located in the International District across the street from the post office and near the bank, Sub Stand is perfect for working people on short crunch -time lunch breaks. Unicorn Crepes 421 6th Ave S (between Jackson St & Jefferson St) Seattle, WA 98104 A French delight with a Japanese twist. Unicorn Crepes’ menu offers a hot, savory section with choices like tuna, ham and chilidog. Suggested by one of the crepe makers, the Okanomiyaki savory crepe will fulfill the lunchtime crave. With eggs, ham, shredded cabbage and added cheese, Okonomiyaki leaves a simmering seared and grilled flavored taste. To satisfy the sweet sensation, customers can binge on choices of fresh fruit like strawberries, banana or blue berries stuffed with custard, pudding, daifuki (tiny mochi balls) or ice cream. Watch as a scoop of batter is melted into a paper-thin layer on top of the griddle as it heats into a golden- brown color. Like eating ice cream, Unicorn Crepes will roll crepes into a paper that allows the eater to peel as they bite further and further. Right on the corner of 6th Avenue in the International District, Unicorn DASH, Continued on Page 7 tells you which to avoid, which are good alternatives, and which are best choices. “We’re now working with large food service organizations, who want to work within our guidelines—consumer demand is behind that,” says Alison Barratt of the Monterey Bay Aquarium. “Ideally we wouldn’t need a pocket guide because everything would be certified with a label, but until that happens, we’re going to keep asking these questions.” The Marine Stewardship Council’s rigorous third party certification program evaluates fisheries on their sustainability and environmental impacts. “There is market incentive for fisheries to enter the voluntary certification program and carry the MSC ecolabel, especially given the surge in major retail, food service and other global seafood businesses making a commitment to source MSC-certified seafood,” says Kerry Coughlin in the MSC’s Seattle regional office. Here are some tips on how to make a difference in our oceans: 1. Ask restaurants where seafood comes from, and keep asking if you don’t get an answer. The more people ask where the seafood comes from, the more likely they’ll want to come back with a good answer. 2. The smaller the fish, the better. Smaller fish are lower on the food chain, have fewer contaminants and are quicker to reproduce. Instead of making a tuna sandwich, try mackerel, sardines or herring. 3. Make your seafood at home—you’ll have a better idea of where it came from, whether it be at local seafood markets, or straight from the docks. 4. Pick up the check. You can do the ordering, and make the most sustainable choices. 5. If you really can’t resist the bad stuff, make a donation to an ocean conservation group. Consider it like buying “ocean credits.” Some local groups are: Seadoc Society, People for Puget Sound, Northwest Straits Commission. 6. Support the long-term solution: Marine Protected Areas are underwater parks that give the ocean’s fisheries a chance to recover, and repopulate the seas. Efforts are underway right now to implement them in California and Oregon. Some to Avoid (and there are others): • Bluefin tuna—it’s severely overfished, and has high mercury levels. Sea turtles, sharks and seabirds all get entangled due to catching bluefin. • Yellowtail (or hamachi)—Their facilities spread disease and pollution, and rely heavily on using wild fish for feed. • Freshwater eel (or unagi)—Juveniles are taken from the wild and then farm-raised, putting pressure on wild populations. About 90 percent of eel sold in the U.S. is farmed. • Shark fin soup—A third of open ocean sharks are now threatened with extinction. As top predators, they serve an important function in balancing out complex marine ecosystems. • Farmed salmon—Farming salmon spreads diseases and parasites to wild salmon, which are threatened.

Reminiscent of a Dick’s Drive-Thru, Rice n’ Roll on Rainier Ave provides great parking space and an atmosphere that makes customers want to stand along the counter tops for a friendly conversation. Although Rice n’ Roll reflects many Japanese sushi choices like the California, Spicy Tuna or the Rainbow, the restaurant infuses other Asian flavors like the Bulgogi roll, a Korean-style marinated beef with lettuce and carrot. Or, the Thai Chicken roll marinated with Thai sauce. To create its local niche, Rice n’ Roll offers the Seattle roll with salmon, the Bellevue roll with spicy hamachi and its very own Rainier roll with spicy scallop. Rice n’ Roll offers bento combos that come with crunchy edamame (green soybeans) and soup.

With less than a ten-minute wait, Shilla BBQ is an immediate fix for a hot meal with Korean cuisine.

In the International District between S. Jackson and E. Yesler Way, Seattle Deli embodies a small market with food grabs for the whole family.

He is board president of the NW Coalition of Asian Pacific Americans and Board Chair of the Seattle Chinatown International District Preservation Development Authority. With such great local Dungeness crab in this area, this dish is very easy to make and is one of my favorites. This dish can easily feed one crab per person. It can get messy but tastes great and can be paired with a great Chardonnay. Or if you are not in the mood for wine, try a bottle of good, dry, crisp, cold sake. —Albert Ingredients: 1.0 - 1.5lb live Dungeness Crab 2 inch ginger root, slice into thin medallions 5 stalks of Scallion (green onions), cut into 2 inch pieces 3 Garlic cloves minced 1/4 cup chicken broth 2 tbsp Shao Xing cooking wine or for extra kick, use whiskey 3 tsp soy sauce 1 tsp Chinese white pepper 1 tsp sugar ½ handful of Chinese chili dried peppers 1 tbsp of Chinese peppercorns Cooking oil (Vegetable) Instructions: • Kill the crab by steaming the crab for no more than 10 mintues. • Remove the underside flap, crab gills, mouth mandibles and stomach sack and discard. • Twist off legs and claws then crack them with a kitchen mallet or back of knife. • Break the body in half and cut them into 6 pieces. • Prep the garlic, scallions and ginger. • Heat up a wok with about 10 tbsp of cooking oil on high heat until the wok is very hot. • Throw in ginger, garlic, dried chili peppers and 1/3 of the white part of the scallions in the wok and stir-fry for 30 seconds. • Add in cooking wine and stir-fry for another 30 seconds. • Add chicken broth and stir for 1 minute. • Add in crab parts and stir-fry for another 3 minutes. • Add in the rest of the scallions, remaining ingredients and stir-fry for another 2 minutes. Remove crab and place aside on a plate. Enjoy! This is an easy dish for parties inspired by a great appetizer cookbook from a friend that featured phyllo cups. I thought wonton cups would be easier to assemble than working with phyllo. This appetizer is always a crowd-pleaser, if nothing else because I think people love eating anything out of miniature containers! —Hyeok Chicken salad ingredients: 1. 2. 3. 4. 5. 6. 7. 8. Two chicken breasts 1 cup of sugar snap peas ¾ can of corn 1 cup of red cabbage ½ small red onion ½ cup of plum sauce Mayonnaise and sour cream Scallions Directions: • Salt and pepper the chicken breasts and marinate in olive oil for about 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Pan fry the breasts until browned on both sides and cooked through, about 20-25 minutes total. Let the chicken rest until cooled and then dice into small cubes. Place in a medium bowl. • Briefly submerge sugar snap peas in boiling water for about 2-3 minutes, and drain. Roughly chop the peas into thirds or fourths. You want the peas to still have some snap. Add the peas to the bowl. • Dice ½ small red onion and chop red cabbage (about 1 cup) into thin julienne strips and cut into roughly 1-inch lengths. • Add the chopped red onion, red cabbage, and ¾ can of corn into the bowl. • Before adding wet mixtures, toss the dry ingredients, chicken and vegetables, together. • Start adding mayonnaise and sour cream, about ¼ cup each to start. Don’t let it get too wet. • Gradually add up to ½ cup of plum sauce. • Keep adding mayonnaise, sour cream, and plum sauce in equal measures until mixture is thoroughly coated. You don’t want to add too much of the wet mixture or else the sauce will be too thin. • Add salt and pepper to taste. • Thinly chop scallions at a slanted angle and set aside. To make wonton cups: • Take 1 pkg of square wonton wrappers and lightly coat with melted butter on one side. • Place 1 wonton wrapper dry side down in a mini-muffin pan. Shape into tulip-shaped cups. • Bake in a 350 degree (F) oven until the wontons are slightly browned. To assemble: • Take 1 wonton cup, gently fill with the chicken salad filling, and top off with a few slivers of the chopped scallions. • Arrange on a flat platter and enjoy! INTERNATIONAL EXAMINER My Favorite Recipes ShiItake mushroom, tofu, and green mango spring rolls with spicy peanut dipping sauce Recipe Contributed BY VU LE, Executive Director of the Vietnamese Friendship Association, an organization that empowers the Vietnamese community to succeed while bridging, preserving, and promoting cultural heritage. There is nothing that tastes of home like fresh spring rolls with a thick, spicy peanut sauce. Whenever I came home from college many years ago, I would stand at the door, anticipating the aroma of home-made delicacies that would waft from Mom’s kitchen. None of those aromas would be spring rolls, because obviously they have no scent, as anyone who has eaten a good spring roll knows. Mom actually never made spring rolls, so I had to invent some. One of the great things about these rolls is that you can customize them. This combo below has never failed to please. I’m terrible at math, so use the numbers only as a guide. —Vu Ingredients: Rice paper 1 package small rice noodle (There’s a billion types and brands; go with “Bun Giang Tay So Nho”) 1 tray fried tofu (get the ones that are in little rectangles) 1 firm green mango 1 bunch cilantro 1 bunch basil (the purple-stemmed variety) 1/2 head greenleaf lettuce 3 cups sliced dried shitake mushrooms (or fresh, if you’re all fancy and stuff) 3 cloves of garlic, finely diced 1 tbsp vegetable oil 1 tsp hot chili sesame oil 1 tbsp soy sauce Sauce: 1 cup creamy peanut butter, ½ cup hoisin sauce, 1.5 cup water, 1 tbsp sriracha sauce (optional), 2 tbsp ground peanuts (optional) Cook the noodles, then drain and flush with cold water. Put your dried shitake mushrooms in water so they rehydrate while you do the other stuff. Meanwhile, peel and cut the mango into strips about ¼ inch thick and set aside. Cut the tofu pieces lengthwise and set aside. Wash your herbs and lettuce. By this time, the shitake mushrooms should be fully rehydrated. Squeeze most of the water out of them. Heat up the oil, toss in the garlic, mushrooms, hot chili oil, and soy sauce, and cook stirring frequently for about a minute or two. Add more soy sauce and chili oil according to your preference. To make the sauce, stir the peanut butter, hoisin sauce, water, and sriracha sauce together over medium heat until it starts to slightly boil; add roasted ground peanuts for texture. Add more water if it gets too thick. Assemble the rolls by laying out a piece of rice paper dipped quickly in hot water. In what order you assemble the roll is up to you, but I usually put the lettuce on first, followed by the herbs, then the noodle, then a strip or two of mango, tofu, and some shitake mushroom. Experiment until you get the right balance of textures and flavors. This should make about 18 rolls or so. Sweet, spicy, tangy, salty, and mostly healthful, it’s the perfect appetizer to pair with beer for an elegant evening get-together. Recipe for Ful with Dried Black Beans RECIPE CONTRIBUTED BY ALARIC BIEN, Executive Director for the Chinese Information Services Center (CISC), an agency that helps Chinese and other Asian immigrants to achieve success in their new community by providing information, referral, advocacy, social, and support services. I like trying lots of different things. One of my favorite pastimes is searching out unusual and foods and experiences wherever I go. In Brussels last year, I was in the African immigrant neighborhood of Matongé and had a chance to sample dried grubs (well, one anyway) and chikwangue, which is sort of like a tamale make from manioc paste. When I can’t travel (which is most of the time) I like to try out new dishes in the kitchen. I never know what it’s really supposed to taste like, but sometimes I find a recipe for something really good. This recipe for Ful is one of them. It’s actually supposed to be made with fresh fava beans, but I don’t even know what fava beans are, much less where to get them! So I just use dried black beans and it comes out good anyway. The people who invented it in Egypt are probably rolling over in their sarcophagi! Great on a hot summer day with Jajoukh (cucumbers with yogurt) and some pita. —Alaric • Soak 2 cups black beans overnight, pour out water, then cook with about 8 cups of water for about 2 hours until tender. • Drain beans and toss with 1/3 cup olive oil, 5 cloves pressed garlic and ½ cup lemon juice (more to taste). • Add plenty of salt and black pepper to taste. • Stir in 1 cup chopped tomatoes and ¾ cup chopped parsley. • Put in a large serving bowl, top with ½ cup chopped tomatoes and ¼ cup chopped parsley. • Garnish with lemon wedges and quartered hard boiled eggs. November 4 - November 17, 2009 —— 11 IE ARTS Cookbooks Get the Taste Test Recipes are just the beginning. Cookbooks serve as a diary of memories, stories of families and as a reminder of our identity. BY VINH DO IE Contributor Cookbooks are more than recipes. They hold standards for posterity. They preserve memories of dishes made, savored, and loved. They are testimonies of cooks who have lived through eating, dining, and feasting. They are ultimately stories containing recipes. The four cookbooks in this collection play a dual role—repositories of stories and manual of cooking instructions. The dishes within them, originating primarily in Southeast Asia, can be found in other books about cuisine from this region. Their authors, however, take on this subject matter with a personal twist. 1. “Secrets of the Red Lantern – Stories and Vietnamese Recipes from the Heart” (Andrews McMeel Publishing, LLC, 2008). By Pauline Nguyen. Pauline Nguyen’s “Secrets of the Red Lantern” is half biography, half cookbook, and all glamour. Its gorgeous cover, binding, photos, and quality speak to the best the publishing world offers. The dishes—set in exquisite ceramics and earthenware—are handsomely styled in photos that would tempt any novice to cook the items presented. Yet, the most alluring aspect of this book is its author’s voice. She writes of being born into a family with deep roots in the food business in her native country, Vietnam, and in her current home, Australia. Growing up with a tyrannical father, a former South Vietnamese army officer, who played out his post-traumatic stress disorder in the disciplining of his children and on the relentless pursuit of running his own restaurant, she ran away from home at a young age and found herself returning again to the restaurant business as an adult. She manages the restaurant Red Lantern in Cabramatta, Australia, now with a husband and a brother who are both chefs. This book is her coming to terms with her origins. She tells of a time she had to cancel an invitation to a feast at the last minute knowing that her father had prepared her favorite meal, Bun Bo Hue, and hearing the disappointment in his voice. In her experience, food can be a basis of so many things—a vehicle for business and a way to communicate emotion and love. And depending on the hands that prepare the meal, it can be nourishing or punishing, painful or pleasurable. COOKBOOKS, Continued on Page 12 12 —— November 4 - November 17, 2009 IE ARTS INTERNATIONAL EXAMINER COOKBOOKS, Continued from Page 11 2. “The Asian Grandmothers Cookbook – Home Cooking from Asian Americans Kitchens” ( Sasquatch Books, 2009). By Patricia Tanumihardja. If Pauline Nguyen’s book is biographical, then Patricia Tanumihardja’s “Asian Grandmothers Cookbook” is encyclopedic. Ms. Tanumihardja, a food writer who has written for Saveur, Sunset, and Seattle Metropolitan, has enlisted the help of grandmothers from Seattle and beyond. Hers is the only book in the collection with the distinction of ‘cookbook’ in its title. She culls recipes from grandmothers from Japan, Taiwan, Myanmar, Korea, and India, among other places, and writes about their culinary influences. From this concept, one would expect the book to be colorful. It is not. Ms. Tanumihardja skims the superficialities of each life she profiles. Her premise that grandmothers play a special role in imparting love of food and love of cooking in families is only half-true. The truth, found in the very stories of the grandmothers, is that necessity breeds innovation. Some of the grandmothers taught themselves or took cooking lessons. This is true even of the great chefs of our times. Her best work lies in the excellent research behind a chapter on the must-haves of an Asian pantry. She instructs that Thai basil is not Italian basil, explains the differences in chilies, differentiates between cilantro and culantro, distinguishes between varieties of rice and noodles, tells why Asians wash their rice and finally, discloses what goes into the making of those pungent shrimp pastes. 3. “Cooking from the Heart – The Hmong Kitchen in America” (University of Minnesota Press, 2009). By Sami Scripter, Sheng Yang. “Cooking from the Heart–The Hmong Kitchen in America” is also encyclopedic in its effort. This time the story is of Hmong cooking. Published by University of Minnesota press, the book is part history lesson and part anthropology of the ‘why’s and ways of Hmong food. The author, Sami Scripter, was an educator in the school system and it shows. She and co-author Sheng Yang are both at pains to be accurate, explaining that “no comprehensive written record of Hmong cooking seemed to exist” and that cooking is passed on through oral traditions and through memory. The book would be better perhaps with fewer lessons and more recipes. Ms. Scripter and Ms. Yang differentiate between the dishes and ingredients found among the Hmong in Asia— the Hmong are dispersed throughout Cambodia, Laos, Thailand, and Vietnam—and dishes and ingredients found in America. Their book concedes to the fact that food differs in the hands of those who make it and by the seasonality and availability of food where it is made. What is noteworthy about this book is the cultural information embedded—poems written by the Hmong people, explanations of food used in weddings and funerals, and types of items used for healing. What is lacking is some sort of angle or lure to entice a reader to make the very food contained in this exhaustively researched book. 4. “Wild, Wild East — Recipes and Stories from Vietnam” (Barron’s, 2008). By Bobby Chinn. The lure of “Wild, Wild East” is Bobby Chinn himself. Mr. Chinn is both chef and restauranter. His business, Restaurant Bobby Chinn, in Hanoi, is a crossroads of points international, and from there he makes both Vietnamese dishes and hybrid dishes mixing culinary traditions from his childhood and travels. (He is Chinese and Egyptian and has worked in San Francisco, New York, London, Paris, Saigon, and Hanoi.) His cookbook may be the only one dedicated to Vietnamese dishes that is written from Vietnam itself. The book begs comparison with Pauline Nguyen’s “Secret of the Red Lantern”. Both contain personal stories and recipes. But where Ms. Nguyen weaves meaningful recipes into the narrative of her life, Mr. Chinn tells his story and the story of today’s Vietnam straight. And his story is one of failures and successes in doing business in Ho Chi Minh City and Hanoi and the consequences of playing nice and not-so-nicely with the Vietnamese. The dishes he writes about are those made using local ingredients and those borne of experience gained through travel and work. Having been a TV presenter on the Discovery Channel and the UK’s BBC2, Mr. Chinn puts the force of his personality into his dishes and cookbook. The dishes are audacious and fearless and his recounting of misadventures and fortunes in Vietnam somehow impregnate the dishes with urgency and immediacy as if one is tasting and seeing the food as it looks in Vietnam today. It helps that the pictures appear to come from National Geographic. From this book, I would venture to make Canh Chua Cá Lóc and Ceviche with Mangosteen Vinaigrette. In all their different ways, the books here prove one point. Cooking is about those who cook and those who come to the table. If differs in the hands that prepare it and in the experience of those who savor it. A daughter recollects it. A food writer assembles food from different places to demonstrate this truth. A teacher impresses the importance of its social functions. And a chef bends tradition to incorporate modernity. Cooking, then, is a way of living. And cookbooks tell us how to live it.

One gets the impression that the two chefs really care for their guests, taking the time to get to know them as individuals rather than just customers. Perhaps what keeps the guests returning to the restaurant is the fact that the two chefs are always there. Yang states, “We see our customers and know them. It’s like a family atmosphere. We want to feed them like our friends and family. They know they can count on the same quality of food.” The open kitchen also creates an intimate atmosphere that allows guests to witness the chefs at work. Knowing that the chefs are watching the November 4 - November 17, 2009 —— 13 Regarding the future of Joule, Yang responds,“We would love to expand. We never expected to open a restaurant at such an early age. So we learn a lot from the experience. There are so many different aspects of Korean food that we want to bring. People are interested in Korea, which has a lot to offer.” Indeed, with the recent Hallyu wave of Korean film and culture sweeping through the world, we can expect more people to be curious about Korean food. As Korea aggressively modernizes in the twenty-first century, the food becomes increasingly eclectic, with influences from such regions as India and Vietnam. The cuisine at Joule reflects this cosmopolitan influence. “Our food is not Korean or French but modern American. There is no definition of American food.” “We are not trying to intimidate people with our dishes. We want people to have a great time. People oftentimes come in and say they have never had food like this before.” whole scene also ensures that the service is top-notch. Our waiter is prompt, attentive, and friendly. Although we have to wait a fairly long time to get our entrees, we are treated to side dishes to whet our appetite before the main meal. The zucchini basil pancake, with shrimp and soy mustard sauce, makes a perfect prelude to the mackerel and succulent lamb that follow. To conclude the interview, I ask Yang how she came up with the name of the restaurant. “The name was given to us by our mother-in-law. Joule has a lot of different meanings, including the fact that it has the pronunciation of jewel. We wanted the place to inspire energy.” To contact Paul Kim, e-mail iexaminer@iexaminer.org.
