Sweetie's Kitchen Adventures

This recipe does not replace the rice from our favorite restaurant, but it's good. Really good... and my kids love it so it's a keeper! I found it on Our Best Bites , and changed it just a little to fit our taste. Ingredients: 6 cups cold cooked rice 4 tbsp butter 1/4 cup minced red onion 2 tbsp chopped green onion 1/4 tbsp minced garlic 1/4 cup chopped carrot 4 tbsp soy sauce Seasoning: 1 tbsp dried onion 1 tbsp kosher salt 1 tsp garlic powder 1 1/2 tsp black pepper 1/2 tsp celery salt 1 1/2 tps sugar First mix the seasonings and put in an airtight container (note: it makes way more than you need... the first time I made this I used WAY TO MUCH). Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat and saute onions and carrots until tender, then add garlic and saute for another 30 seconds. Next add rice and soy sauce and then season to taste. Hmmm, what should I try to make next??? Maybe Lo Main?

We've searched the area looking for something, anything that measures up... but no luck thus far :( and to add insult to injury... I cannot recreate any of our favorite dishes. I mean not even close! I can cook Mexican exceptionally well and Italian practically flawlessly (well, it's pretty good) but I have yet to find any good Chinese recipes... until now. This recipe was simple and delicious! (tomorrow I'll share the fried rice recipe pictured) Ingredients: 1 1/4 lb Steak (I used a flat iron steak) 1 tsp ginger 2 tsp sugar 6 tbsp soy sauce 4 tsp cornstarch 2 tbsp vegetable oil 1 bag frozen broccoli Directions: Slice steak, against the grain, in to thin slices. Mix ginger, sugar, soy sauce and cornstarch in a large bowl. Add the sliced steak, making sure its all coated and let stand for 10 minutes. Heat oil in a large skillet and pour marinated meat in the pan. On...
