"As I ate the oysters with their strong taste of the sea and their faint metallic taste that the cold white wine washed away, leaving only the sea taste and the succulent texture, and as I drank their cold liquid from each shell and washed it down with the crisp taste of the wine, I lost the empty feeling and began to be happy, and to make plans."--Ernest Hemingway

Once upon a time I helped my mom make a special Asian meal for a dinner party she had for some friends. The menu included this soup, followed by egg rolls, Beef with Cauliflower and Peas, Imperial Shrimp, steamed rice, and whipped banana yogurt with almond cookies. If you'd like to prepare a special dinner, all of these recipes are in My Mothers Table.
