Black Bean Pork and Zucchini

Posted by: Thursday on: September 10, 2008

Page 128 of the September 2008 Cooking Light, right next to the last one.  Again, used a bit more of everything.  And also we didn’t fry stuff in batches.  Instead doing pork first and then pretty much everything else.  Also, the sauce was a little bland, so soy sauce was added, along with garlic for [...]

Ham and Egg Fried Rice

Posted by: Thursday on: September 10, 2008

Page 128 of the September 2008 Cooking Light.  This is very easy to make and the only thing I did different was used more of most of the ingredients.  It has a slightly sweet flavor, so a pinot grigio or something similar works well.  It’s more of a stir-fry than fried rice really.

First, heat up [...]

Stir-Fried Sirloin with Ginger and Bok Choy

Posted by: Thursday on: May 30, 2008

From the February 2001 Food & Wine.  We used a 1 1/2 lb London Broil for the meat, and about 2 lbs of Bok Choy.  Also 1/2 cup of broth instead of 3 tbls.  This naturally requires more cornstarch as well.  One caution, when you throw in the ginger, garlic and jalapeno into nearly-smoking oil, [...]

Beef with Sugar Snap Peas

Posted by: Thursday on: April 19, 2008

Page 198 in the April 2006 Cooking Light.  We pretty much followed the recipe exactly.  Had slightly more flank steak to work with, slightly less peas and probably more carrot.  The only thing we added was some minced garlic.  We had regular white rice with it also, as opposed to brown.  And off-dry or slightly [...]

  • Emily: Sounds great and I agree with the simplicity - you don't want to pay the big bucks for quality wild salmon just to cover it's flavor! We're having a s
