We'd have an assembly line going - chopping, mixing, cooking, loading, rolling, etc. They were DELICIOUS!Wandahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05762254137339310890noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517408.post-1162923229677801782006-11-07T13:13:00.000-05:002006-11-07T13:13:00.000-05:00About once a year I go all out and make the entire...About once a year I go all out and make the entire "chinese takeout" meal. Fried rice, steamed rice, egg rolls and spring rolls, wonton soup, egg foo yong, sweet and sour pork hong kong style (a lighter breading and I use well trimmed pork loin), chicken subgum. Mushrooms and onions in oyster sauce (sometimes with broccoli), "silver sprouts" - bean sprouts that have been topped and tailed, and quickly stir fried at a high heat just to warm them, then add a drop of sesame oil. Sometimes cantonese chow mein as well.<BR/><BR/>If I want more authentic I delve into sezchuan dishes, and the salted black beans LOL.<BR/><BR/>The hardest part is making so many dishes without an actual wok and so that they are all done and hot at the same time. I haven't figured that part out yet.<BR/><BR/>Other than that, I make quick stir fries for myself. DH and DD don't eat that.DancesInGardenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10516526687504692899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517408.post-1162916868734986992006-11-07T11:27:00.000-05:002006-11-07T11:27:00.000-05:00Occasionally a stir-fry or fried rice.

Nothing beats a Chinese buffet!<BR/><BR/>JanAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-16517408.post-1162914165606643642006-11-07T10:42:00.000-05:002006-11-07T10:42:00.000-05:00I don't make it that often.

I don't have all the rice vinegars and sauces that it would require. <BR/><BR/>The closest I ever came to making chinese food was with leftover chicken and veggies; I just make a teriyaki concoction. It was good though!Anniehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11259640913845569431noreply@blogger.com
