Lemon Chicken

A good portion of Chicken Breast cut into thin strips.
A pack of Green Beans
1 Lemon
Ginger Root (Fresh or Powdered)
Soy Sauce
Toasted Sesame Oil
2 teaspoons of Sugar

Dead easy to make. Heat 2 tablespoons worth of oil in a wok (high heat). Add the chicken and stir fry for 2-3 minutes until lightly browned. Add the green beans and fry another minute or so. Half the lemons and squeeze the juice into the pan. Add a teaspoon or 2 of sugar. Fry for another minute. Add 3-4 tablespoons of soy sauce and the ginger. Fry for another 2-3 minutes. You can also add some fresh chillis for colour & heat.

Serve with some rice or chinese pancakes.

Re: Help me Cook!!!!!!!!!!!!

grab some chicken breasts....

throw em in a pan..

grab some medium or mild large jar of salsa (8oz or so) and dump it in.

throw other vegitables or potatoes of your choosing on top of it all and slap in the oven and cook until the chicken center juices run clear (most usually cook at 350F for 40-60 minutes in a conventional oven)

serve with a slice of cheese or 2 on top.... enjoy

Re: Help me Cook!!!!!!!!!!!!

Potato Wedges!

The staple of my diet:

Chop 3-4 medium potatoes into wedges,

Take a large bowl add a few glugs of olive oil, but not too much.
Add quite a bit of salt and pepper and some herbs (fresh rosemary or just some mixed dried herbs)

Add wedges and agitate round bowl until all are covered.

Cook at 200°C for 25 minutes turn over and cook for another 20.

Perfect wedges every time....

and that's the limit of my skills.

Re: Help me Cook!!!!!!!!!!!!

The Señor's Ultimate BBQ Slather

It's not a sauce, it's a slather. Trust me.

2 cups tomato sauce, garden fresh made, preferably
1 1/4 cups applesauce
2 tbs. butter, unsalted
2 whole cloves fresh garlic, smashed
1/2 white onion, diced finely
1 pinch Sea Salt
1 tbs. black pepper, fresh ground
1/2 tsp. cinnamon, fresh ground
3 tbs. brown sugar
1/2 tsp. Allspice
1/4 tsp. Liquid Smoke(use SPARINGLY!)
1 tbs. Ancho chili powder, fresh ground
1 tbs. New Mexico chili powder, fresh ground
1/2 tsp. cumin
1/2 tsp. paprika
1/2 tsp. cayenne pepper, fresh ground
1/2 pinch white pepper
2 tbs. rice wine vinegar
2 tbs. molasses
1 1/2 tbs. honey, fresh
2 tbs. Dr. Pepper

Start by sweating the onions, garlic, salt, black pepper and white pepper together with the butter in the bottom of your slather pot. Once the aromatics are slightly see-through, add the vinegar, 1/2 tbs. honey, 1 tbs. molasses and stir for 1 minute. Proceed to incorporate the tomato sauce slowly along with the applesauce on Med-Lo heat in the next minute or so, stirring and scraping your slather pot. Once that's stirred, add the remaining ingredients, including the remaining honey and molasses and let the slather sit on Med-Lo heat for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally.

Brush excessively on ribs, brisket, chicken, shrimp, steak, burgers, anything. It's good on ice cream...I'm sure.

One combination that most people don't try is margerine and jelly sandwiches, same directions as above, just as tasty, esp with coffee or tea.

Re: Help me Cook!!!!!!!!!!!!

this is one of my favorite

Chicken Lollipop

* 1 tsp minced ginger shopping list
* 1 cube fermented red beancurd, mashed ( optional, all-purpose cajun seasoning is great too ) shopping list
* 1 egg white shopping list
* 1 egg yolk shopping list
* shaoxing wine ( OR other chinese cooking wine ) shopping list
* ground black pepper shopping list
* salt and sugar to taste shopping list
* cornflour shopping list
* panko breadcrumbs shopping list

How to make it

* With a knife, pull and scrape the meat off the top to the bottom of the chicken drumette.
* Marinate the chicken with minced ginger, mashed fermented red beancurd, egg white, black pepper, salt and sugar.
* Set the chicken in the refrigerator and let it marinate for about 10 minutes.
* Dip the chicken drumettes into the cornflour, then dip them into the egg yolk wash, and continue the same with the breadcrumbs.

Re: Help me Cook!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pina Colada Flan

Ingredients

* 1 cup white sugar
*
* 8 beaten eggs
* 2 (15 ounce) cans sweetened cream of coconut (such as Coco Lopez®)
* 1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
* 5 tablespoons pineapple juice
* 1 tablespoon shaved coconut (toasted if desired) (optional)

Directions

1. Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
2. Place sugar in a small saucepan over medium heat. Cook gently, without stirring, but shaking occasionally until the sugar has melted. Continue cooking until the sugar has completely melted and turned golden brown. Pour into a large round glass baking dish. Spread the caramel evenly over the bottom of the dish, then set aside to cool for 15 minutes before proceeding.
3. In a bowl, whisk together eggs, cream of coconut, condensed milk, and pineapple juice until thoroughly combined and smooth. Pour the egg mixture over the caramel in the baking dish. Place a kitchen towel in a large roasting pan, and set the baking dish on the towel. Place the roasting pan into the preheated oven, and carefully fill the roasting pan with water about halfway up the side of the flan dish.
4. Bake until a knife inserted in the center of the flan comes out clean, about 1 hour.
5. Remove roasting pan from oven, and allow the flan to cool sitting in its water bath, about 30 minutes. Refrigerate the flan until thoroughly cold, at least 2 hours. To unmold, run a knife all around the edge of the flan to loosen the sides. Place a serving platter on the dish, and quickly flip the pan over to remove the flan onto the platter. Spoon any liquid caramel from the baking dish over the flan, and allow the caramel sauce to pool around the flan. Sprinkle with shaved coconut, and refrigerate until serving.

Footnotes

*

*
Cook's Note
*
The colder it is, the thicker the texture will be. It won't have that funny egg texture that most restaurant flans have.
*

Look for cream of coconut in the Hispanic food section of the grocery store. It is not the same as unsweetened, Asian-style coconut cream.
*
Easy tips will help you make a perfect flan every time.

Beef Lo Mein

Beef and egg noodles are tossed in a flavorful oyster sauce.

Ingredients:

* 3/4 pound flank steak
* Marinade:
* 1 tablespoon soy sauce
* 1 1/2 teaspoons cornstarch
* Sauce:
* 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
* 2 teaspoons dark soy sauce
* 4 tablespoons beef broth
* 1 teaspoon granulated sugar
* Other:
* 8 ounces fresh egg noodles or Italian spaghetti
* 1 teaspoon sesame oil
* 1 large carrot, chopped into 1/2-inch pieces
* 1/2 cup chopped cabbage, such as Napa
* 1 clove garlic, chopped
* 4 tablespoons oil for stir-frying, or as needed

Preparation:

Cut the beef across the grain into thin strips. Add the marinade ingredients. Marinate the beef for 20 minutes.
While the beef is marinating, prepare the remaining ingredients.

In a small bowl, combine the oyster sauce, dark soy sauce, beef broth, and sugar. Set aside.

Fill a large saucepan with enough lightly salted water to cover the noodles. Bring to a boil. Add the noodles and cook, uncovered, until they are al dente. Use chopsticks or a wooden spoon to separate the noodles while they are cooking.

Drain the noodles and toss with the sesame oil.

Heat the wok over medium-high to high heat. Add 2 tablespoons oil. Add the beef. Brown briefly, then stir-fry until it changes color and is almost cooked. Set aside.

Add 2 tablespoons oil to the wok. When the oil is hot, add the garlic. Stir-fry until fragrant, then add the carrots. Stir-fry for about 1 minute, then add the shredded cabbage and cook for 1 more minute. Add the noodles and cook for about 2 more minutes.

Add the sauce to the wok. Return the beef to the pan. Mix everything together and serve hot.
