    Lookin for a good Chinese sour n hot soup

    Don't know if this should be in the Ethnic forum or soup forum. Maybe both LOL. We get this all the time at the China Buffet we go to, and I would love to be able to get it at home. It has a slightly sour taste and is medium in heat. Not sure what all is in it, just veggies usually no meat. Thanks!

    Beef Panang Curry

    Like our other Thai recipes, this is toned down as we do have kids after all! LOL. My favorite is beef, seconded by chicken, but I have been known to use tofu and even pork to make this. I think beef is the best. Also, we buy our curry paste in a larger container, but they also sell it in small...

    Tofu Pad Thai

    This is the version DW and I make at home. You can use most any meat, but we like the taste of tofu or chicken the best. Just sub whichever one you prefer, but I would try with chicken if you don't like tofu. Traditionally it also has bean sprouts in it, but we don't usually include them as they...

Also, I buy the pizza kits from ALDI as I am not good at making dough, so substitute your own as you wish. Lightly grease the cast iron skillet, do not...

    Not sure exactly what the offical name, if any, is but we made this dish tonight as a variation on the "Oscar" we used to order at a Greek/American family resturant. The resturant has gone out of business, so we decide to make our own variation on the Oscar. Ingredients: 3lb bag of boneless...

    User CP page

    I am trying to change my User CP page so that it only shows new threads I am subscribed to and drops off subscribed threads that are read so that you have to click on list subscriptions to see them. This keeps it much more organized and easier to handle for me. Can this be done?
