Stuck for something to do this December 25th? Why not host an Asian-inspired brunch.
Chinese food and a movie are popular December 25th diversions. Instead of filling up on take out, make more of an occasion out of it by hosting an Asian-inspired brunch. Here are 5 recipes (plus dessert) to get you started. (If these don’t strike your fancy, there are plenty more on Joy of Kosher. Just search for the term “Asian.”)
Asian Shiitake Mushroom Soup
Asian Cabbage Salad with Garlic Sesame Dressing
Pepper Steak
Szechuan Braised Meatballs
Vegetable Fried Rice
For dessert try fortune cookies, some parve coconut or mango sorbet or Honey Sweet Apple-Mango Cobbler.
How do you spend December 25th?
Jamie Geller is the only cookbook author who wants to get you out of the kitchen – not because she doesn’t love food – but because she has tons to do. As “The Bride Who Knew Nothing” Jamie found her niche as everybody’s favorite cook next-door. Specializing in scrumptious meals that are a snap to prepare, she authored the Quick & Kosher Cookbook series and is co- founder of the Kosher Media Network, which recently launched the Joy of Kosher with Jamie Geller magazine and companion website JoyofKosher.com, a social network for foodies. Jamie hosts the popular Quick & Kosher cooking show online at youtube.com/joyofkosher and on-air on JLTV. Jamie and her “hubby” live in Israel. Their five children give her plenty of reasons to get out of the kitchen — fast.
How about a recipe for mango sorbet….

Thanks for your comment. While we love mango sorbet, we don’t have a recipe for it now, but we do have these other cool refreshing treats!
I guess having Asian-inspired food is a fun tradition for those kosher eaters out there. I’m a big fan of experimenting with different meals on holidays (whether your own or someone else’s).
