Asian Chicken Nuggets

I had these at a chinese buffet and they were really good! I found this recipe on the smokey wok website and am putting it here for safekeeping. "It's time for some home-made nuggets! These chicken nuggets are extremely versatile and can be served as hors d'oeuvre, part of a main dinner or simply as snacks. I call these nuggets Asian as I used Asian seasoning for the marinade while the ginger and the green onions in the batter completed the Asian flavours. Although I am not a huge fan of fried foods, these nuggets suit me a little better as the batter is lighter in that corn flour and egg whites are used. The finely chopped green onions and minced ginger in the batter provide extra fragrance to every crispy bite too. I served these with rice, but these also taste great served atop soupy noodles."

Chinese Take-Out: Egg Drop Soup

I've found it easier (and cheaper) to make Chinese food at home. No more waiting for the delivery driver to bring you cold food, no more waiting to be served in a restaurant, no more tipping. This is one of many Chinese recipe that I prepare, and we feast at home for a fraction of the price. The best part is, we know it is going to be good. I hope you enjoy this one of my many "stay at home" Chinese dishes.

Glazed Turkey and Pea Pods

From my Betty Crocker One-Dish Main Meals cookbook. Stir-fries make good use of turkey breast slices, which are easily cut into strips of pieces. A 6-ounce package of frozen Chinese pea pods, thawed, can be substituted for the fresh pea pods; stir them in with the turkey.
