Dave, Ben, Dillon, and Dumplings.
I had the pleasure of having Supa Dave West over for a few days not too long ago – (to work on a joint for the project I’m doing with Willie Evans Jr. – craziness). Well if you’ve seen the Southern Scramble Promo Video I did with Dave last summer, you know how we get it in when it comes to food. It was the late night snack tip, and I decided to throw down with the pan-fried Gyoza. (Japanese dumplings). These joints are stuffed with veggies: carrot, scallion, cabbage, etc. – BOMB! Pan fry ‘em in a lil canola/sesame oil blend – get em all crispy ya know? Then it’s all about the sauce – Soy, lemon juice , garlic, jalapenos, sesame oil (just a touch),scaliions on top . . . yo . . .YO!!
Dillon got the sauce now!

Rita was in town to pick up their other sister, Clarice, en route to the live performance of the “Suite for Ma Dukes” in LA- (incredible by the way -cop that!) Since I had Detroit in the mafuggin building, I had to represent southern style in the kitchen-
Chef 4 Burners at it again - and I'm rockin an oven!
