Fried Rice is Nice

By: Catherine Westmore III

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!
