Oriental cooking is a favorite among many people, and learning to cook some of these foods can be a real challenge! Here are a few tips to get you started: *Before you start, read the whole recipe, this applies to cooking any kind of food *When chopping green onions, save some of the tops to add flavor and color to your foods *When slicing meats, partially freeze them, you can slice them very thinly with this simple tip *Use a broad knife or cleaver to press firmly on a clove of garlic, this makes it easier to peel *Cut all meats and vegetables, and pre-measure all liquids and seasonings when doing a stir-fry *Vigorous and continuous stirring in addition to a short cooking time (a few minutes at the most) is the key to crisp and colorful vegetables in a good stir-fry *A good substitute for water chestnuts are radishes *Snap ends and string snow peas before cooking *Always refrigerate fresh ginger root *Exchanging rice with thin spaghetti or egg noodles creates lo mien-style dishes *Short cooking times over medium high heat should be used for stir-fries http://recipedotcom.com/ethnic/ One of the biggest challenges for oriental cooking is a good sweet and sour sauce, here is one that has been time tested, and is quite delicious. Drain an 8 oz can of pineapple in its own juice, add water to this to measure ¾ cup. Using a 1 quart saucepan, mix in 2 tablespoons of corn starch, ½ teaspoon ground ginger, ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon and a dash of ground clove. Stir in pineapple juice gradually until the mixture is smooth. Stir in ½ cup light or dark Karo corn syrup, ½ cups firmly packed brown sugar, ¼ cup cider vinegar and 2 tablespoons soy sauce until well blended. http://recipedotcom.com/ethnic/ Stir constantly over medium heat to bring to boil, boil 1 minute. There are many great cook books out there, find one you like and enjoy the crispy taste of a stir-fry, or the delicious flavors of batter fried shrimp in plum sauce! http://recipedotcom.com/ethnic/ Thank you, http://recipedotcom.com/ethnic/

I used to be an office and motel cleaner earning minimum wage on a contract by contract basis, working very hard to make ends meet. I have no pedigree, I am a high school dropout from a broken family. I was forced to stay at home after my baby was born, this was like a visit from an angel... I had to find a way of earn a living without leaving home. This was a life turning event... Today I enjoy an extraordinary life, earning in excess of $80,000 a month which allows me to endulge on those things I never thought It was possible before - including having my dream home. I was fortunate enough to find the right business to earn a substantial monthly income from the comfort of my own home.
