Firm, yet spongy, all at the same time - like the worst, plastic-y tofu you've ever encountered. Now granted, I go a little differently and add bay scallops to the mix. Did you find anything unpleasant like that? 'Cuz I'd love to start making these sort of things again, but seriously need a new technique.

The crust alone had me salivating. I gave you a blog award - although I see you don't display them I'm sure you have been proffered many.

I'm very into Asian food right now -- maybe because I've been eating vegan and it's one cuisine that is full of flavor even when there's no animal products involved. Still, only a week to go on this vegan thing and I just may make these beauties for breakfast on Easter Sunday! I love the sound of these.
