Hot and sour soup! Love the stringy black mushrooms in it

I know I spelled Mein wrong…shame on me, I’m a retired English teacher, too.

General Chicken or anything, actually. I moved to a very rural area where there are no good Chinese restaurants unless I drive for hours to Atlanta. Then, I don’t know where to find a good restaurant in the city.

I would be happy with a big big bowl of Tomato Chow Mien.

Cantonese roast duck – tried making it at home and just not the same. Or roast pig – haven’t even attempted that one.

Fried rice, and all it’s variations is so cheap and easy to do at home. I use Carolina Gold rice from Anson Mills, eggs from the farmers mkt. You can control the amount of fats and the quality of your ingredients, use whatever is available at the mkt. even in winter with frozen vegs. If you have leftovers you can put them in a microwave container and take them to work or school, good cold or hot. I can’t thnk of many better ways to eat cheap, healthy, and good. You don’t need martha Stewart for fried rice, one of the easiest, most forgiving recipes out there.

I am so lucky to have a sister-in-law from Okinawa. Though Okinawa is part of Japan, Okinawa food is very similar to Chinese. My favorites are seaweed & miso soup.

My favorite is General Tso’s Chicken, and the spicier, the better!

I’d love to be able to make good Hot & Sour soup, and chicken fried rice, both of which I brought home for my husband today, but it’d be fun to be able to make these myself.

I’d love to be able to recreate the Egg Foo Yung from a restaurant that’s too far away for me to visit more than twice a year… It’s not thin, skimpy pancakes – it has pancakes filled with vegies and shrimp which are at least three inches thick – yum!
