Asian Greens Recipes for Cold Season

LinkAutumn is upon us and word on the street(not to mention in the media, if you choose to believe it) is that it's going to be a brutal cold and flu season. What I've heard from a teacher in one of Portland's High Schools, is that it's already a serious one for their students.

Cold season and our burgeoning bed of Tatsoi and Dwarf Pak Choi have inspired the following recipes. If you're not a ginger lover then these recipes may leave you a bit disappointed.
