Happy New Year!

As promised, here are this year’s recipes…

As evidenced by the stained and tattered cookbook, I have made each one nearly one hundred times.

Sesame Beef Pork

Lemon Chicken

Sweet & Sour Shrimp

Broccoli Beef

Just do what these recipes say and they will turn out amazing. Pinky promise.

I can say that because they aren’t original.

Give yourself loads of time to leisurely prep the ingredients. The cooking itself is fast & furious, I generally start about 20 minutes before guests are due to arrive. Or less.

For my stir-fried cabbage and fried rice recipes, look here. Except I see now that I failed to mention that you start with a little salt in the pan of oil for both recipes. And as the cabbage is cooking you add a splash of water and a pinch of sugar. You can see that my cooking style is very free-form, haphazard and inprecise. Anyone can do this!

Here is the link to the cookbook from which the bulk of my recipes hail. I highly recommend it.

Stay tuned for pics of our celebration tomorrow.
