Bamboo Net

While setting up an above board net connection we are using a Ubiquiti NanoStation M2 to rob signal. ( roubando sinal ).  Its doing ok given that the router its hooking into is probably 4 km away.  The pole used is a green bamboo.

Reverse Engineered Tokyo Express Tofu Salad Ginger Dressing

Had this at Tokyo Express a lot. Took a while to figure out the recipe

 

Success in the reverse engineering effort.  The following recipe yields very close knockoff of the Tokyo Express Tofu Salad Ginger dressing.   It was described as the Benihana ginger dressing so I have to assume Tokyo express copied their dressing.

1/2 cup minced onion
1/2 cup peanut oil
1/3 cup rice vinegar
2 tablespoons water
2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger
2 tablespoons minced celery
2 tablespoons ketchup
4 teaspoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
2 teaspoons lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper  ( optional – original Benihana recipe called for this.  Appears Tokyo Express does not use it )
 
Instructions:  Combine all ingredients in a blender. Blend on high speed until all of the ginger is well-pureed.

 

Makes 1 3/4 cups.

Artsy's comment below stimulated me to email him and ask for any recipe he thinks is closer to the Tokyo Express recipe. While googling I found some useful research links.
