Answer 2

This is really good, esp. in warm weather.

Chinese Cole Slaw

1/2 medium Napa cabbage
1 small red onion
3 Tbs. sunflower seeds
1 package (3 oz.) ramen noodles
1/4 cup vegetable oil
2 Tbs. vinegar
2 Tbs sugar
1/4 cup raisins (black ones are OK, but I like the white ones better)

Slice cabbage and chop onion. Put in a large serving bowl with sunflower seeds. Remove seasoning packet from noodles and set aside. Crumble noodles and add to serving bowl. In a small bowl, mix oil, vinegar, sugar, and contents of noodle seasoning packet. Stir in the raisins, and pour over the cabbage. Toss to coat.

Let this sit for a while to let the dried noodles soften, and the flavors to blend.

If it's cold weather, you can serve at room temperature. If it's hot outside, refrigerate and serve as a cold salad.

This is a really good, and unusual, salad. If you like it spicier, use hot (spicy) vinegar, or add some crushed red peppers.

SWEET & SOUR ASIAN VEGETABLES:

INGREDIENTS:

3 cups (approximately) favorite stir-fry vegetables (such as broccoli, carrots, onions, mushrooms, baby corn, bok choy, chinese cabbage, bell peppers, sugar snap peas, snow peas...)

Sauce:

2 tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
dash of soy sauce
1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon salt (to taste)
1/2 cup pineapple juice
1 tablespoon cornstarch

Other:
1 tablespoon oil for stir-frying
1/2 cup pineapple chunks

PREPARATION:

Mix together the sauce ingredients in a small bowl. Heat the wok and add oil. When oil is ready, add the vegetables. Add them in stages (add the ones that take longer to cook first like carrots, then bok choy or cabbage.... and so on). When the veggies have been stir fried for 3-4 minutes, remove them and set aside until all your veggies are tender but not overcooked. Return the veggies back to the wok. Add pineapple chunks and sauce, giving sauce a quick re-stir.

Cook until thickened and serve hot. Serves 3 - 4, as part of a multicourse meal.

Sweet & Sour Asian Noodles

10-oz. package of Chinese egg noodles
2 Tbs. vegetable oil or chicken stock
3 scallions, finely chopped
1-inch piece fresh ginger root, peeled and grated
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tsp hot paprika
1 tsp ground cilantro or parsley
3 boneless chicken breasts, sliced
4 oz snow peas, tops and tails trimmed
4 oz baby corn
8 oz fresh bean sprouts
3 Tbs soy sauce
3 Tbs lemon juice
1 Tbs cornstarch
1 Tbs granulated sugar or equal or sweet-n-low

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to boil over a medium-high heat setting. Add the Chinese egg noodles and cook as directed on the package. Drain the noodles, cover, and keep them warm.

Meanwhile, heat the oil in a wok or a heavy skillet over a medium heat setting. Add the scallions and saut for about a minute, until fragrant. Add the ginger, garlic, paprika, ground cilantro or parsley, and chicken to the oil and stir-fry for about 4 minutes, until the thickest portion of chicken is cooked through.

Add the snow peas, baby corn, and bean sprouts to the top layer of the wok or skillet and briefly steam to warm through. Then toss all the ingredients together and begin to blend the mixture. Finally, stir in the cooked noodles.

In a small bowl, combine the soy sauce, lemon juice, sugar and cornstarch. Add the mixture to the wok and simmer briefly, tossing the ingredients until the sauce thickens a bit. Serve warm, topped with a sprinkling of sliced scallions, if desired. Makes 4 servings.
