Yin Yang

Cooking is truly an art. This time the lesson is to balance your creation; what flavor is good with the other, and what flavor doesn't go well with another. Husband H pointed that out to me. I improved my cooking skill even more because now not only that I can create more than 1 dish, but also the dish really complement each other. And it's not difficult to achieve at all. 1 ziplock bag of ground pork (around 500 gr) can easily make 2 dishes. I love cooking with ground meat because it's so versatile and almost fool-proof. Tonight I made mushroom meatball with mixed vegetable sauce and stuffed cabbage roll. The first one is strong in flavor; combination of spicy hot, sweet & savory. The later one is so subtle. The yin of them two: you can just taste the natural flavor of the mushroom, sweetness of ground pork & carrot. The two dishes really complement each other.. Just like a marriage. Yin & Yang always work better than Yang & Yang or Yin & Yin.. For me H, who is the yin & who is the yang?
