Food Sites, Mongolian Beef
August 08, 2005
Found a great looking food site:
for healthy mediterranean and asian food.
http://www.mediterrasian.com/
this site looks really interesting and I want to look at it more when I get a chance (maybe wednesday)
In the meantime, here's something I'll definitely try.
Indonesian peanut sauce
http://www.mediterrasian.com/delicious_recipes_peanut_sauce.htm
Update: This was truly awful! I had to throw it out. The shrimp paste was definitely the worst aspect of it, but even without it would still have been yuk. The marinade for the satay sticks (not at this link) was very good though, with another peanut sauce.
Later this week I intend to make mongolian beef, at this stage with this recipe for the sauce (taken from www.recipesource.com)
mongolian beef sauce
1 TB Sherry
2 TB Hoisin sauce
2 TB Dark soy sauce
2 TB Chicken stock
1/2 ts Sugar
1 ts Cornstarch
1/2 ts Chili paste -- w/ garlic
Update: I tried this, but it tasted yuk so I didn't risk marinating the beef with it and instead made up my oyster sauce mix which I know to be yummy. However, all concentrated, it tasted gross too so perhaps I need to give this another shot.
Here's another site I want to check out more
http://www.tinkertech.net/recipes/
and I want to check out this recipe site
http://www.5aday.gov/homepage/index_content.html
and, note to self that I want to make a spicy hokkien noodle salad type thing at some point. Something that can be served cold.
