CHINESE GARLIC CHICKEN (About.com) 1-19-08 Top of page
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken
breasts
4 garlic cloves, finely minced
2 green onions, finely chopped
on the diagonal
a few drops sesame oil
2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 tablespoon dry sherry
1/4 teaspoon chili paste
Oil for stir-frying
Marinade:
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon dry sherry
Cut the chicken into bite-sized cubes. Place in a bowl, mix in the marinade ingredients and marinate for about 20 - 25 minutes. While the chicken is marinating, prepare the garlic and green onions. Combine the sesame oil, light soy sauce, sherry and chili paste in a bowl and set aside. Heat wok and add oil. When oil is ready, add the marinated chicken. Stir-fry briefly on high heat, then add the garlic and green onion. Add the remaining ingredients and combine (total cooking time should be about 5 minutes). Serve hot with rice. Serves 4.
Cook's Notes: I make Garlic Chicken at home as a main dish, so the ratio of meat is higher than many Chinese recipes. I like to serve this dish with stir-fried baby corn and rice, and perhaps a bit of green onion and fresh tomatoes for garnish.

RED GRAVY 1-19-08
Missed the beginning of this suggestion for Goulash soup with 2 sticks of butter, 1 cup flour and some v8 juice. Use the juice from a 16 oz. can of diced tomatoes. Puree tomatoes. While blending butter and flour, add the tomatoes and quickly add V8 juice so it does not clump. Use a large stock pot to blend the ingredients and make a red gravy. Add any sauteed vegetables you would like.
