to cook and thicken sauce without curdling). Keep warm.

slices until lightly browned and place them on each English muffin half. Prepare
poached eggs (add white vinegar to boiling water to hold egg together when poaching).
Top each English muffin half with one poached egg. Spoon warm sauce over eggs.

Lemon Grass Tofu
From the Kitchen of:
Joan Namkoong, "Go Home, Cook Rice" Cook Book
20 oz. firm tofu
2 Tbs. lemon grass, finely minced
2 Tbs. shallot, finely minced
2 tsp. garlic
2 Tbs. fish sauce
2 tsp. brown sugar
2 tsp. turmeric
1-2 Hawaiian chili peppers
3 Tbs. oil
1/4 c. la lot, finely chopped
1/2 c. roasted peanuts, chopped
Drain tofu well. Cut into 1" thick slices and gently press between paper towels
to extract as much moisture as possible. Cut into bit-sized cubes. Mix
lemon grass, shallot, garlic, fish sauce, sugar, turmeric and chili peppers. Add
tofu and gently toss mixture to coat the tofu with the marinade. Let marinate
for at least an hour.
Heat a non-stick skillet and add oil. When oil is hot, add tofu and pan fry,
turning the cubes so that each side gets nicely browned. This is where patience
comes in. When all the tofu cubes are nicely browned, add the la lot and peanuts
and gently mix together until leaves are wilted. Serve immediately.
Note: La lot is the Vietnamese pepper leaf available in Chinatown stores.
You could use the purp0le stemmed Thai basil in place of la lot.

Perfect Pork Chops
From the Kitchen of:
Joan Namkoong, "Go Home, Cook Rice" Cook Book
1/4 c. kosher salt
4 c. water
4 pork chops with bone, about 1/2 inch thick
salt & pepper
2 Tbs. oil
Dissolve salt in water. Place pork chops in baking dish in a single layer and
pour salt water mixture over. Brine should cover the pork chops completely; if
not, add a little water. Cover and refrigerate 3-4 hours. Preheat over to
325 degrees.
Season pork chops lightly with salt (the brine will add salt to the chops) and
generously with pepper on both sides. Use a heavy 12-inch skillet (or any heavy
pan that will hold the chops in a single layer) that can go into the oven. Heat
ski9llet over medium-high heat; add oil. Place pork chops in hot pan, searing
one side, about 3 minutes, until nicely browned and crusty. Turn over and sear
other side.
When chops are seared, place skillet in oven and continue to cook for about 18-20
minutes or until meat thermometer registers 145-150 degrees. Remove from oven
and let stand 10 minutes before serving
