Peking Duck

Posted by Queen Dragon Mom  

My fiance and I made this together. It was our first time making duck, and we wanted to go all the way and try an authentic Peking recipe. It was definitely worth the effort! We hung the duck indoors with a fan on low in front of it, and it took... — Crystal Rose Jul 2, 2007

Flawless! I followed the directions exactly (kneading by hand) and made 20 perfectly-sized pancakes that were very authentic in taste and texture! In step #6 I made the dough into a 10-inch long cylinder so I could cut 10 1-inch pieces to make... — Crystal Rose Jul 1, 2007

Baked Cherry Tomatoes with Parmesan Topping

Posted by yooper  

Very nice way to dress up grilled chicken! I added 1/4 cup of fresh chopped basil and mixed it in with the tomatoes, oil, parsley, and spices. (Didn't want the herbs to burn). Then I topped it with the fresh parmesan and, since I already had the... — Crystal Rose May 15, 2007

I was looking for a quick fix to give perch a tropical flair and this was it! I used chopped red onion (a quarter of one) instead of green, left out the yellow pepper (had no sweet peppers on hand) and used chopped regular tomato instead of... — Crystal Rose Apr 25, 2007

Excellent! I used ground turkey instead of pork and also added fresh shiitake mushrooms (since they were on hand). I chopped the cabbage in a food processor, then completed step 1 and returned it to the processor with cooked ground turkey and... — Crystal Rose Feb 7, 2007

This was an excellent alternative to fried catfish. I followed the instructions and sprayed the fish with cooking spray before baking but the thyme and basil both burned and the flavor was a little off. Next time I will either eliminiate those... — Crystal Rose Dec 14, 2006

My fiance is from Hawaii and he grew up eating Spam Musubi all the time. I've never eaten Spam before but I love sushi, so I thought I would give it a shot. It was so YUMMY! We couldn't find bonito or furikake, but we did get a nice bottle of sake... — Crystal Rose Dec 13, 2006

Skillet Steak With Mushroom Sauce

Posted by KITTENCAL  

Your title and comments say it all... it is easy and delicious! I used 16 oz portabella mushrooms and 8 oz white mushrooms. I had to use an extra Tbsp of flour to make the sauce thick (probably because the portabellas had a lot of juice) but it... — Crystal Rose Dec 12, 2006

Grilled Tuna Steak

(1 person found this helpful) Posted by ~Rita~  

I found this recipe last-minute and decided to make it even though it says to marinate/chill for 2 hours. My steaks only marinated about 10 minutes but it was still oh so good! I used a cast iron grill pan (since it's freezing outside right now)... — Crystal Rose Dec 12, 2006

Tofu and Vegetable Stir-Fry

(3 people found this helpful) Posted by mielhollinger  

I followed the recipe exactly and didn't like how the tofu turned out. It didn't have much flavor or a nice texture. I used extra-firm tofu with the water squeezed out and it still came out a little crumbly. Maybe it should be cooked on its own in... — Crystal Rose Oct 4, 2006
