Vegetable Stir-Fry With Chinese Noodles

This is something that I do mainly for my father because he really loves Chinese food. If you can’t find Chinese noodles you can substitute Thai noodles. Please don’t use rice noodles because they are too thin and white and will hardly be noticed. Also, the amount of soya sauce is a bit high in this recipe, so feel free to reduce as much as possible. The amount given here will only be a suggestion and really reflects my family’s tastes and no one else’s.

Ma Po Tofu

Looks abit like mush by the end of it, but tasstes pretty good. Substitute equal amounts of pork, if wanted.

Cantonese Sweet Scorched Lamb Chops

This recipe makes a nice looking little meal, from a book titled “Take Three”, but the Chinese broccoli and sesame oil can be omitted to have just the chops! Rather than the broccoli, I’d probably have boy choy instead. Cooking time includes marinading time.

Chinese Walnut Cookies

Very rich. Sorry I can’t give proper estimates…I was shown the recipe by an old lady and since Chinese don’t use exact measurements, she didn’t write any for me! I’d guess at saying between 1/2-1 cup of oil is needed, but pour it out very slowly so that you don’t pour out too much. Also, don’t use olive oil, it makes the cookies too rich, so use canola or vegetable oil.
