Scallions For Stirfry

A line and wash sketch of a bunch of scallions. At some point I learned that the combination of scallions, ginger, and garlic is considered the holy trinity of Chinese cooking. Maybe that is so — at any rate it is a key part of a favorite dish of ours that I made for lunch today, called deliciously spicy tofu. The recipe is from Madhur Jaffrey’s Eastern Vegetarian Cooking book (page 201): basically one takes the ginger, garlic, and scallions and stirfry them, add tofu, and mix in a chili-bean sauce.

As a bonus, scallions, ginger, and garlic are all fun to sketch.
