I know some. Try pickled raddish. Cut the raddish into thin strips and squeeze it.Add cut onions and tomatoes. Then boil vinegar with salt and sugar and pour on the raddish.You can add ginger if you want. Another one is pork and fried tofu with vinegar, soy sauce, pepper, onions. Still another one is chopped green mango with chopped ginger, chopped chili, onion and shrimp paste.

Yes, I've tried the pork with tofu and the green mango salad too! Yummy! I've always also wanted to pickle raddish but I haven't tried it yet. Thanks for the recipe I really appreciate it. Have a nice day! :)

i am not sure.. if i know much.. but the best i do is cook veg soups... i mix the vegetables.. and boil them.. churn them. and then boil them again in some water with a little bit of cornflour.. that gives a great look.. and a lovely taste...

I have a fairly large family and we usually get together for all of the major holidays. A big hit with my family, I've found, has been a dish that I kind of came up with as a joke, but its extremely good. Its also great because you can do most of it ahead of time, and the main part of the appetizer can be put in the freezer to be used as needed. All you need is 2 packages of the mini smoked sausages, a package of sliced bacon (whatever you like is fine, but it's not necessary to get thick sliced bacon), and light brown sugar. You'll also need a casserole dish or a pan with somewhat taller sides than a sheet pan and some kind of nonstick spray. I prefer the olive oil Pam spray. You'll need to open the bacon and cut the whole amount of bacon slices into thirds. Each slice will make three wrapped sausages. Spray the casserole dish or pan with the nonstick spray. All you need to do is wrap the slice of bacon around the mini sausage and place them seam side down. Try to place each sausage right next to the one before it in the pan or casserole dish. After the whole bottom of the dish or pan is covered, then you place in the oven for about 5 minutes at 350 degrees Fahrenheit or until the bacon is about 2/3 of the way done. Pull the pan or dish out and sprinkle the brown sugar kind of liberally over all the bacon wrapped sausages. Then place back into the oven until the brown sugar has caramelized onto the bacon wrapped sausages. Now all you have to do is let them cool a little and they are ready to eat. You absolutely need to let them cool because the sugar can literally take the skin off your tongue if you aren't careful. Hope you enjoy. I'm sure anyone you let try these will love them. You're only problem may be not having enough. Lol

I think I've prepared something similar, but not with the caramelized sugar! Now this is really something sweet and yes i should say fancier :) hmm, yeah I bet the kids would love these too. I'm sure i'll really need to prepare this a day before and I'll make sure lots of it! :) Thanks again for sharing this, and the spinach recipe too. I'll keep you all posted if I've I'm able to try all the recipes that you've shared. Thanks for the time and enjoy preparing those appetizers! :)

I love to make appetizers and I make the easy and the difficult 1. For those who like cawliflower. Separe cauliflower in small flowerets. Marinate in vinegar (any type), salt, pepper, some olive oil (can be other). Do that early and turn when you pass by. Put a bowl of mayo with a crushed garlic to dip.Another dip can be made with plain yoghourt, salt, pepper and chives. 2. Buy a baguette (french bread) ancut thin. Melt butter and garlic garlic and put in bread. Put bread in foil and to the oven just before the visitors arrive. I do this the day before and keep the bread in the fridge. It can also be done with stale bread. 3. Get some Philadelphia cheese and either pour a. soja sauce and sesame seeds b. prepare a caramel (sugar+water and let it thicken. Then throw in diced sweet peppers (all colors you can get). All that is VERY easy. And it tastes wonderful.

I think 1. is easy and yummy. I love caulis! Hmm 2. is also really quick and yummy too. 3. is a bit expensive but would really look colorful and interestingly yummy. hehhe btw, what's a soja sauce? I'm sorry i think this is new to me. Now I'm really hungry thinking about all these appetizers! :) Hmm, for the cauliflowers, I have this recipe, to coat the flowerets with batter, season it then deep fry it. It's a treat. =) Thanks for sharing. HAve a nice day!

Right! I think this one's really nice and easy. I love cheese and garlic! Hmmm, I was just wondering what should be done with the tomatoes? Are these fresh tomatoes?

I'd go with meatballs; you can make the meat mix a day or two ahead of time then pan fry them. Heat them up in a toaster oven so they don't lose the crunch on the outside or add them to sauce to top off a pasta dish.
