Experimental Asian

My parents and I went to my favorite Asian market. The Assi Market is a huge shopping center outside of Landsdale Pa the size of a super walmart. Its great. I was able to nab some great finds. Lotus root, Forbidden Rice, crispy seaweed, salted seaweed and a wide variety of fish! Gotta love it. Todays menu reflects my finds.
I put some of my recipes into weight watchers online so some have their point values listed.
