i am a asian food fanatic. enthusiastically lately means i am ON & ecstatic.
wok oil heats up & fills the nostrils with the wonderment from a oriental spice garden
garlic, ginger, onion & cilantro

stir fry has begun

this here thread is designed & held together by love, kindness & the passion for great oriental cuisine & the preparation of

tonight i am folding up crab rangoon in egg roll wraps insread of using won ton wraps. won ton wraps are smaller & irritate me when the filling comes out during frying. often times i use no meat at all & it is an all veggie & rice night.

tonight i think i will either stir fry pork or i'll prepare tilapia, fried rice & crab rangoon
we make plenty as the freezer enjoys the company

thank you for your time,
chad

    Love me some Asian food. I make Thai pork dumplings that are delish! Ground pork with scallions, ginger, and garlic steamed and dipped in a chili ginger sauce. Yummy!
    Are we getting something out of this all-encompassing trip?

    Seems my preconceptions are what should have been burned...

    I love Asian food too, especially Thai. I'm not really good at cooking it though. But I have made a Tom Kha Gai a couple of times and it was good.

    Digging Asian food is, unfortunately, one of those things my husband and I don't have in common.

    In the end, it's inconsequential...but fuck me if it isn't frustrating!

    (though cool with going solo in this realm)

    I'm a sucker for sushi.
    Spicy peanut sauce, could guzzle it (actually, I have)
    Lo mein
    Pork bao buns
    Korean BBQ
    Pad thai - the good stuff, not that greasy shit. No skimping on the shrimp either.

    There used to be a place in downtown LA, not sure if it's around anymore - Mon Kee. They'd bring out these hugeass platters of crab sauteed with ginger, garlic and scallions. Eating them was a viscerally satisfying and sloppy experience.

    An aside...the nostalgic side of me misses the old-school Chinese restaurants of my childhood. The standard dishes like sweet & sour chicken, spareribs and then those almond and fortune cookies. And wedge of orange.

    i would throughly be set if i had a asian friend who had a kitchen where i slept, learned & slept.
    see i'd moved right on in to learn their ways of badassness
    chairs, bedding, stereo, computer & me living on his kitchen floor

    why would your wife force your chickens to drink bourbon?

    been making egg rolls a lot lately as well as some really great dishes. brussel sprout with walnuts... unreal

    walnuts sauteed in some wok oil or butter, slice up your still frozen chicken, yellow rice or even pasta,
    brussel sprouts, snow peas, carrots, cabbage, alfalfa sprouts, green onion, bok choy, mustard leaf & whatever else stir fried

    nicely done with hot tea

    I don't cook a lot of Asian food, mostly because I don't know how. Where is a good place to start? Any particular favorite Asian foods or dishes? I haven't had any American-Asian food that I haven't liked yet.
    Wind this thing up.

    I love Asian food and love to cook it. Don't bother cooking it unless you have a decent Asian market near you. Lots of key ingredients you just can't get at the supermarket!
    My favorites are (excluding the Middle East...which I also love)
    Thai
    Vietnamese
    Indian
    Japanese

    Chinese food is my least favorite....by far!

    just made egg rolls w/ left over chicken, grated cabbage & carrot. you wanna talk about glorious, soft yet crisp, warm perfection, musically enhancing taste buds as if loving her in such a fashion
