Chinese Salad
1 head cabbage-chopped
2 chicken breasts-cooked and choped
2 pkg. chicken flavored ramen noodles
10 oz. pkg. frozen peas and carrots
1 pkg. sliced almonds
Dressing
(shake together)
1/3 cup sugar
1/2 cup oil
7 tbl. rice vinegar
1/4 tbl.pepper
1 or 2 envelopes ramen seasoning
(from ramen noodles package)
Combine all ingredients except ramen noodles.
Toss and add dressing. Add ramen noodles (uncooked) about 20 min. before serving.
Crab Rangoon
1 package (8oz) cream cheese, softened
1 can (6oz) crab meat, drained and flaked
2 green onions including tops, thinly sliced
1 clove garlic, minced
2 teaspoons Worcestershire sauce
1/2 teaspoon lite soy sauce
1 package wonton skins
In medium bowl, combine all ingredients except wonton skins. Mix until well blended. (I prefer to prepare the filling the night before to allow
the flavors to blend.)
(To prevent wonton skins from drying out, prepare one or two rangoon at a time.)
Place approx. 1 teaspoon filling in center of each wonton skin. Moisten edges with water; fold in half to form triangle, pressing edges to
seal. Pull bottom corners down and overlap slightly; moisten one corner and press to seal. (A note: I use 2 wonton skins for each rangoon.
Moisten edges with water; place 2nd skin on top, pressing edges to seal. Fold corners toward center, moisten corners and press to
seal.) Deep fry rangoons in either a deep fryer or a wok. Be careful not to overcook, as the filling gets very hot and will break through the wonton
skin and splatter.
The recipe also says you can bake the rangoons. Lightly spray baking sheet with vegetable coating. Arrange rangoon on sheet and lightly spray to
coat. Bake in 425 oven for 12-15 min, or until golden brown. Serve hot with sweet-sour sauce or mustard sauce.
Spicy Pork
8 oz pork tenderloin, cut in bite size pieces
1 tbsp oil
1 tbsp grated or minced ginger
1 lge clove garlic, minced
1/2 tsp ground coriander seed
1/4 tsp turmeric
1 tsp ground cumin
1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
1/2 C beef stock or broth
pepper and lime juice
Basmati rice (cook this first)
Heat oil in something that won't stick. Get it very hot, throw in garlic and ginger, fry for 30 seconds. Add pork, brown on all sides.
Stir in spices, cook 30 seconds. Add broth, bring to boil and cook till broth
is reduced a little and pork is done.
Season with freshly ground pepper and lime juice, serve over basmati rice.
This whole dish takes maybe fifteen minutes to prepare, not counting the rice.
