Satisfying Soy Sauce Chicken Recipe!

THURSDAY, MAY 18, 2023 

RECIPES / ASIAN / CHICKEN

This is a classic dish with many variation throughout Asia, and it's surprisingly easy to make.  

This is the first time I've ever seen Jeremy use a CAST IRON WOK on his show!  I'd be more than happy to have one in my house!   Lodge makes a good one that you can get for about $50.   

I have got to make this for myself!   But I will need to get some of the ingredients from Amazon first.   They are a good source for Asian pantry items.  

Beef and Mushroom in Black Pepper Sauce

SATURDAY, APRIL 22, 2023 

RECIPES / ASIAN / CHINESE / BEEF

The newest recipe from Mandy at "Souped up Recipes".  As soon as I saw this, I had to make it myself, and did so.   It really tastes wonderful!   

I substituted regular button mushrooms for the fancy ones Mandy uses, sliced thin, and cut my onions into much smaller strips than the large "scoops" that Mandy uses, and cooked them both until the mushrooms and onions caramelized.  For the beef, I used flank steak and prepped it and cooked it almost exactly as Mandy recommends.   

The biggest difference: I used the carbon-steel wok that Mandy sells to prep everything!   Her wok is fantastic!  I've even purchased it for other friends and relatives.   For an oil-fried dish like this, a wok is actually the better way to go.   

After everything was cooked, I served it over Jasmine rice.   It was really good!   But I do recommend cutting the amount of pepper used by half.        

BEEF CHOW FUN

A wonderful beef & noodle stir fry from the Woks of Life website.

"Beef chow fun is a sleeping favorite among Chinese food lovers. The problem is, the traditional version isn’t widely available, and there aren’t many good recipes out there (until now!).

"Beef chow fun is a Cantonese dish made from stir-frying beef, wide rice noodles (he fen or huo fun), scallions, ginger, bean sprouts and dark soy sauce. "
