Fried Rice is Nice

Oriental cooking is a favorite


among many people, and learning to


cook some of these foods can be a


real challenge!


Here are a few tips to get you


started:


*Before you start, read the whole


recipe, this applies to cooking


any kind of food


*When chopping green onions, save


some of the tops to add flavor and


color to your foods


*When slicing meats, partially


freeze them, you can slice them


very thinly with this simple tip


*Use a broad knife or cleaver to


press firmly on a clove of garlic,


this makes it easier to peel


*Cut all meats and vegetables, and


pre-measure all liquids and


seasonings when doing a stir-fry


*Vigorous and continuous stirring


in addition to a short cooking


time (a few minutes at the most)


is the key to crisp and colorful


vegetables in a good stir-fry


*A good substitute for water


chestnuts are radishes


*Snap ends and string snow peas


before cooking


*Always refrigerate fresh ginger


root


*Exchanging rice with thin


spaghetti or egg noodles creates


lo mien-style dishes


*Short cooking times over medium


high heat should be used for


stir-fries

One of the biggest challenges for


oriental cooking is a good sweet


and sour sauce, here is one that


has been time tested, and is quite


delicious.


Drain an 8 oz can of pineapple in


its own juice, add water to this


to measure ¾ cup.


Using a 1 quart saucepan, mix in 2


tablespoons of corn starch, ½


teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon


ground cinnamon and a dash of


ground clove.


Stir in pineapple juice gradually


until the mixture is smooth. Stir


in ½ cup light or dark Karo corn


syrup, ½ cups firmly packed brown


sugar, ¼ cup cider vinegar and 2


tablespoons soy sauce until well


blended.

Stir constantly over medium heat


to bring to boil, boil 1 minute.


There are many great cook books


out there, find one you like and


enjoy the crispy taste of a


stir-fry, or the delicious flavors


of batter fried shrimp in plum


sauce!

I used to be an office and motel cleaner earning minimum wage on a contract by contract basis, working very hard to make ends meet. I have no pedigree, I am a high school dropout from a broken family. I was forced to stay at home after my baby was born, this was like a visit from an angel... I had to find a way of earn a living without leaving home. This was a life turning event... Today I enjoy an extraordinary life, earning in excess of $80,000 a month which allows me to endulge on those things I never thought It was possible before - including having my dream home. I was fortunate enough to find the right business to earn a substantial monthly income from the comfort of my own home.
