  1. Wow, this was really delicious, give it a try! Since I didn't have any sesame oil, I used sunflower oil and grinded some sesame seets with it, worked out very well...
     
  2. This was a very flavorful excellent dish. I did cut back on the peanut oil and added some baby bok choy to the mix simply because it needed used up. The walnuts were a nice crunchy touch. Thank you Evelyn for sharing the recipe.
     
  3. Wonderful and a great way to make shrimp. I made it as directed except using mirin instead of the sherry. Thanks for sharing this keeper!

I moved out here many, many years ago from Ottawa, Canada - so I am blessed in having two wonderful heritages! I suffer from compulsive obsessive behaviour with regard to food and my psychiatrist thought it would be a good idea to find a 'society' where many have the same problem and try to find a cure. So far, I've copied a couple of thousand recipes from this site and my psychiatrist has thrown the towel in and refuses to answer the phone when I call. What did I do wrong? Got 3 kids that keep me on the go - 10 and under at this point (2008) - I may not get round to updating this for a few years, so you'll have to do your own maths. I teach English full-time and Greek Cookery part-time. I would like to make the cooking part of it full-time and the English Grammar part of it part-time. That's all for now.
