Serves 4 to 6 & #013; & #010;Joan Adler is a longtime Moosewood member. In her

continuing quest for the new and exotic menu feature, Joan discovered this

delicious, healthful dish. Golden tofu dumplings filled with crunchy bits of

vegetable and topped with a shimmering, pungent sauce. As an appetizer this

recipe will serve 8 to 10 people. & #013; & #010;

In a large bowl, mix together all the ingredients for the tofu dumplings. Shape

into approximately 2 dozen 2-inch balls and place on an oiled baking sheet. Bake

at 375F for 45 minutes, until golden and firm. & #013; & #010; & #013; & #010;Combine

all the sauce ingredients except the cornstarch in a stainless steel or enamel

saucepan. Bring to a boil. Stir in the dissolved cornstarch and simmer, stirring

continuously, until the sauce is clear and

thickened. & #013; & #010; & #013; & #010;Pour the sauce over the dumplings and serve

immediately. & #013; & #010; & #013; & #010;Serve Buddha & apos;s Jewels with rice and

steamed vegetables. & #013; & #010; & #013; & #010;
