1 chicken breast, cubed
3 cups chicken broth
1 tablesoon cooking oil
2 tablespoons minced garlic
1/2 cup chopped onion
1 tablespoon salt
1/2 pound small shrimps, peeled and deveined
1 tablespoon black pepper
2 cups cauliflower (divided into florets)
2 cups snow peas
2 cups cabbage, sliced into 1 inch strips
1 cup diced carrots
1 cup sliced celery
2 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
12 ounces Cantonese noodles (egg noodles)

In a frying pan, heat oil and saute garlic until brown. Add onion
and cook until transparent. Season with salt. Stir in pork, chicken,
shrimps and pepper. Simmer for 20 minutes. Add broth and vegetables.
Season with soy sauce and sesame oil. Add noodles and cook until

2 medium onions [about 8 ounces total], ends cut flat, peeled, cut
in half lengthwise
1 3/4 sticks unsalted butter [7 ounces], cut into 14 pieces
2 small carrots [about 4 ounces total], peeled, cut to fit the feed
tube vertically
3 plum tomatoes [about 9 ounces total], quartered and seeded
3 1/2 pounds fresh spinach, washed, stems removed
1 cup veal stock, preferably homemade
1/2 cup Sauternes
Salt and freshly ground black pepper
6 slices calf’s liver [about 5 ounces each], trimmed

Slice the onions thin, and saute in 2 tablespoons butter over low
heat until the onions begin to exude their liquid, about 5 minutes.
Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions are golden and
very soft, about 25 minutes more.
For flowerlike carrot slices, make 5 evenlyspaced lengthwise cuts
on each carrot piece with a fruit and vegetable stripper; slice them
into very thin rounds. Reserve.
Coursely chop the tomatoes. Reserve.
Bring a large pot of water to the boil, add the spinach and cook for
2 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold running water until cool enough
to handle. Squeeze the spinach to remove all the liquid. Pulse the
spinach, in a food processor until finely chopped, about 6 times.
Add the onions and process until smooth, about 1 minute. Reserve.
To make the sauce, bring the stock, Sauternes and chopped tomatoes to
the boil in a medium skillet. Cook until reduced by onethird, about
9 minutes. Strain into a small saucepan, pressing on the tomatoes to
exude all their liquid: there should be about l/2 cup. Set the skillet
aside. Whisk 8 tablespoons of the butter, one piece at a time, into the
reduced liquid, over low heat. Season to taste and keep warm.
Add 2 tablespoons butter to the skillet used to reduce the sauce. Add
the spinach mixture and season to taste. Keep warm, stirring occasionally.
Season the liver with salt and pepper. Cook 3 slices in 2 tablespoons
butter over medium high heat until golden brown on the outside but still
pink on the inside, about 2 minutes on each side. Remove to a plate and
cover loosely with foil to keep warm. Cook the remaining liver, adding
more butter as necessary.
Meanwhile, blanch the carrot slices in boiling water until just tender,
about 2 minutes. Drain.Fill a pastry bag fitted with a l/2inch star tip with the spinach
mixture. Pipe some spinach around the inner rim of 6 individual serving
plates. Cut each piece of liver diagonally into 3/4 inch wide slices and
arrange spokefashion on each plate. Spoon an equal amount of the sauce on each serving and garnish with the carrot slices.
