Very authentically Chinese, adn yummy. I substituted 1/2 of the oil with applesauce, allspice and cloves in place of 5 spice powder and used 1/2 Splenda for the sugar. They turned out nice and crisp on the outside and chewy inside. Very good, with a savoury and sweet taste. next time, I'd add slightly more sugar/Splenda and more spices since I like a stronger spice flavourm and also subbing some wheat germ to up the protein and nutritional content. Thank you for this yummy recipe-

Cooking should be easy and fun, in my opinion! And it's not only what you eat, but how you eat it . . . a peaceful meal eaten with a sense of gratitude will do wonders for the digestion. I cook for my family and we enjoy mainly organic, vegetarian dishes.
