Hehe, if you think those guido big boys are puny viennas then you'd be
a very difficult woman to please.
And we all know which dwarf is
hung up on viennas... the only time Impotent sees his widdle chicken
weenie is in front of a mirror! LOL
Especially in early spring when they're eating for two.
Corn starch. I've tried arrowroot but see no advantage, it costs
double plus it's very messy to work with, it's so fluffy that when you
try to transfer some it ends up everywhere. The dish turned out much
better than I expected considering I had no left over cooked meat to
add. It contained onions, garlic, green cabbage (had no napa), bok
choy, celery, canned 'shrooms, ginger, toasted sesame oil, black
pepper, white pepper, Goya chicken cube, dill weed, oh, and chow mein
noodles... they only had La Choy that day, things have good flavor but
are hard like wood, not at all crispy, so when I have that brand I
cook them, mostly as a flavoring. Only thing else I added was some
soy sauce. I don't use any recipe as it's something I make to clean
the fridge when it's time to restock with fresh produce, I don't wait
for rot to set in... too many people buy a nice crisp bunch of celery,
use one rib for a tuna salad and then ten days later all the rest is
turning to sludge. Celery is one of the things that deer won't eat.
This sort of dish is also a good way to use up all those onions from
the five pound bag you bought on sale but only used a few and they're
starting to sprout. Critters won't eat onions either, but they'll eat
spuds past their prime... trick is to slice them in half, deer have
trouble opening wide enough to handle a potato, gotta slice an old
apple too or they just become frustrated. I'm sure lots of folks buy
too much produce and then toss what they don't use, I hate to waste
food... chow mein is a great way to clean out the fridge... I ate my
fill of healthful veggies from that pot for two days. Coulda got a
third day by stretching it with a pot of rice but I'm not much into
plain rice. I could have made up for the lack of animal protein by
fixing a side of egg foo young but no excuse, just didn't feel like
cleaning more pots.
