We're having a potluck at work for someone's marriage on Friday. Chopsticks taught me how to make this:

Wonton Soup
Ing:
ground chicken
1 pkg. wonton wrappers
cilantro
green onions
2 cans chicken stock (low sodium)
soy sauce
sesame oil
chili paste (optional)

Add a little soy sauce and sesame oil to the chicken and mix well.
Put a teaspoon of the chicken in the center of each wrapper.
Fold diagonally and pinch two corners together at the top. Use a dab of water so they stick together. Twist the other corners around and stick to each other (It should look like a "nurse's cap"). Continue until all chicken mixture is used.
Bring chicken stock to a boil. Drop in wontons and simmer for 2-3 minutes. Chop cilantro and rgeen onions. Place cilantro, green onions, some soy sauce, and sesame oil in the bottom of each person's bowl. Ladle out as many wontons as you want for each person and fill the bowls with broth. Stir with chopsticks.
Yield however many.

Chopsticks being the Chinese guy that followed you home one night and hasn't left your home? How are things going with that guy, anyway?

I thought you were breaking up? Things getting better? I guess we all have our ups and downs. Congrats, then.

Doh! Now who's the houseboy? I can't wait until Chopstick's mom visits...

"Ah! Mothel. So gleat to see you. Tak! Get youl useress ass in geal and get mother some tea! I sweal, fucking Amelican houseboys all so srow and stupid. You should see them tly to do the maths."




I know, I know. He can pronounce L's. "useress" and "srow" were too much fun to pass up. He probably wouldn't bother trying to talk to his mom in English, either...but seriously, let it go. It's a joke.

REFRIED SPAGETTI
Wash a skillet.
Dry.
Add garlic flavored olive oil to pan. Let it warm up good.
Go in the fridge and grab last nights leftover spagetti with meat sauce. Any way you make it is fine.
Let it sizzle in your pan.
Stir it till it gets good and smoky giving care not to burn the spagetti but rather letting it brown.
It's the BOMB boys and girls.
You could also fry up some garlic in corn oil but remove the remaining garlic before frying up the spagetti.

Perfect steamed rice.
I'm talking PERFECT here.
Grab any cup. Anything.
Fill cup with short or long grain white rice. It dosen't matter.
Pour in pot.
Same cup.fill to top with water. Pour in pot.
You want more rice,use two cups rice,four cups water. You get it. Don't matter how much rice is in the pot. Just remember there's always twice as much water.
The level the water is at determines how much rice you'll have but make sure there's at least two inches or more room in the pot above the water line.
Boil the rice and water.
Lower stove to simmer (I use the 3 setting on my electric range)
COVER. Very important you never take cover off till done.
Set timer for 20 minutes. You can go longer but no longer than 25 minutes.
KEEP IT COVERED! Remove from fire.
Let it cool for 5 minutes.
You'll never fuck up rice again!

You cut and pasted those recipes, didn't you?
The grammar looks too good.

SS. Two questions.
How does one bruise orange slices? Couldn't one just slice it up?
And how many degrees in the oven?
I want to try this recipe. It looks good.

Oh! I didn't read up.

I thought I had to actually hit the orange slices.
Thanks SS.

Glad you liked it. Mandarin orange slices from a can is a major change, however, as it adds a hell of a lot of sugar to the glaze.
