Asian Millet Salad



INGREDIENTS:

2 c  Cooked millet

6 tb Mirin or dry sherry

1  10-oz  package of tofu,

Diced

3 tb soy sauce

3/4 c  Chopped snow peas

1 1/2 tb Rice or cider vinegar

3/4 c  Frozen peas, thawed

1    Clove garlic, minced

1    8-oz  can sliced water

Chestnuts

1 ts sugar (or other sweetener)

1/2 c  Chopped scallion

DIRECTIONS:

1. In a large bowl, combine the millet, tofu, snow peas,
peas, water chestnuts, and scallion.
  
2. In a small bowl, stir together the Mirin, soy sauce,
venegar, garlic, and sugar.  Pour over the salad and toss
to combine.
  
3. Although the original recipes didn't say to, I let both
of these salads chill for awhile to let the flavors blend
before I served them. I think that this step is a
particularly good idea for the Asian Millet salad, as it
allows the tofu to absorb the flavors of the dressing. If
you try these, I hope you enjoy them as much as I did!
