So tonight I had to work late so we picked the easiest meal that we had choosen for the week.

Asian Tuna Patties

from AllRecipies.com

These are a great meal when you want something quick, yet are sick of the same old thing like Mac and Cheese. We usually use dumpling sauce in place of the teriaki, but today we ended up using Hosin because that is what we had on hand.

Sauted Green Beans

I don't really have a recipe for these. I keep trying different things in hopes of copying a favorite dish from a local restaurant, LuLu's Dim Sum and Then Sum.

This time I sauted a couple of cloves of garlic in some oilve oil with a drizzel of sesame oil. Then I added fresh green beans. After that cooked for a bit, I poured on some oyster sauce and some Hosin sauce. I sauted that until the beans were crisp tender and then added toasted sesame seeds.

This is as close as I have come to the dish I was trying to imitate, but it is still not right. Sean thought it was too salty, but I thought the salt level was just right.

We would have had some Sake with dinner, but we forgot to put it in too chill so we will stick with water tonight.
