    Title: Baby Beef Liver & Onions
    Categories: Offal, Vegetables
    Yield: 4 Servings

    2 lg Onions; peeled, quartered,
    - sliced thin
    4 tb Oil
    1 Bay leaf
    Salt & pepper
    1 lb Baby beef liver
    2 tb Butter
    2 tb Vinegar

    Using a non-stick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon of the oil
    (use 2 tablespoons for uncoated skillet), over medium
    high heat and add the onions, bay leaf, salt and pepper.
    Cook, stirring occasionally, until onions are golden
    brown, about 20 minutes. Remove pan contents to a bowl
    and keep warm.

    Meanwhile, cut the sliced liver into strips about 1/2"
    wide and about 2" long. After removing onions from
    skillet, add another tablespoon of oil (more if needed)
    to the skillet, turning the heat up to high. When the
    oil is very hot, almost smoking, add the strips of
    liver, stirring rapidly and turning the strips so they
    brown evenly. Cook about 2 to 4 minutes, then drain in
    a colander.

    Return the heat to medium high, add the butter to the
    skillet, add the liver and toss, and add the onions and
    stir. Add the vinegar, stir briefly to blend and serve
    immediately, garnished with chopped parsley if desired.

    This goes well with thin noodles or rice.

    Serves 4.

    Categories: Vegetables, Side dish, Korean
    Yield: 6 Servings

    4 sm Eggplants
    4 c Salted water
    1 tb Soy sauce
    1 ts Sesame oil
    1 ts Sesame seeds
    1 cl Garlic; crushed
    1/8 ts Pepper

    Cut four crosscuts from the ends of the eggplants down to the stem
    to form 8 fingers, still connected at the stem. Bring salted water
    to a boil, and boil the eggplants about 5 minutes until tender, but
    still firm. Drain well.

    While eggplants are still warm, cut off the stem to release the

    Garnish with the chopped chives. Serve at room temperature.

    Title: Chinese Chives & Eggs Stir Fry
    Categories: Eggs, Vegetables, Wine
    Yield: 2 servings

    5 lg Eggs
    1/8 ts Sugar
    1/2 ts Salt
    1 ts Shaoxing wine
    1/4 ts Ground white pepper
    1/4 ts Sesame oil
    4 ts Water
    2 c Chinese chives/garlic chives
    - chopped
    4 tb Vegetable oil
    1 1/4 ts Cornstarch
    1 tb Water

    Crack the eggs into a large bowl, and add the sugar,
    salt, Shaoxing wine, white pepper, sesame oil and water.
    Beat the eggs for a good 30 seconds until you see a
    layer of small bubbles floating on the surface of the
    beaten eggs. Make the cornstarch slurry by dissolving
    the cornstarch in 1 tablespoon of water. Add the
    cornstarch slurry and mix in the chives until combined.
    Now you are ready to cook.

    Heat a wok until it just starts to smoke, and then turn
    the heat down to medium low. Wait 10 seconds, and then
    add the oil. Coat the wok with oil using your spatula to
    swirl it around. The oil should be hot but not smoking
    when you add the egg mixture.

    Once you pour the eggs into the wok, flip and stir them
    slowly with a spatula, being careful not to let the eggs
    brown or firm up too much. Once the eggs are just
    cooked, they’re ready. Serve!

    Title: Chinese Chives With Fly Heads
    Categories: Pork, Taiwanese
    Yield: 1 Batch

    1 lb Pork; minced
    2 tb Chinese black bean
    5 oz Chinese chives; preferably
    - the ones with flowers
    2 tb Fresh Thai chili; seeded and
    - chopped
    2 tb Soy sauce; +2 tb
    2 tb Cooking wine
    1 ts Sugar
    1/3 ts Sesame oil
    1 cl Garlic; minced
    2 sl Ginger; minced
    1 Scallion; minced

    Soak the black beans 2 tb of water for 5 minutes. Raise and drain.

    Chop the Chinese chives into tiny pieces. Marinate the pork with 2 ts
    of soy sauce and 1 tb of cooking wine.

    Pre-cook the pork. This is a key step to determine if you can achieve
    that restaurant quality at home. You will need a cookware that can
    heat up to high temperature and has good heat retention. I use a cast
    iron wok.

    Over high heat, heat up the wok until you see continuous smoke. Add 1
    tb of oil and add 1/3rd of minced pork. Quickly spread out the pork
    to ensure you get a quick and nice sear to lock in the juice, about
    1-1/2 minutes. Set the pork aside and repeat this for the rest of the
    pork. If you see a good amount of liquid coming out of your pork that
    means your cookware is not hot enough.

    Alternative you can deep fry the pork over low-medium heat. I suspect
    that's what the restaurants do.

    Over high heat, stir fry the black bean, minced garlic and ginger in
    1 tb of oil.

    Add pre-cooked pork and chopped chives. Mix rest of soy sauce, cooking
    wine, and sugar. Cook for about 2 minutes. Add salt if necessary. Add
    a few drops of sesame oil at the end. Before serving sprinkle some
    chopped scallion.

    Garlic scapes are the green shoots that grow from the garlic bulb, and t
    hey have a mild garlic flavor and a crisp texture. Subbig them for chives
    would depend on the flavor profie you're going for.

    Title: Chickpea And Beet Vegetarian Meatballs
    Categories: Appetizers, Vegetarian
    Yield: 13 Meatballs

    1 md Beet; roasted; chopped
    15 oz Can chickpeas (255 g);
    - drained
    2 tb Liquid smoke (30 g)
    2 ts Vegan Worcestershire sauce
    - (10 g)
    3/4 c Panko breadcrumbs (40 g)
    2 tb Olive oil or melted coconut
    - oil (27 g)
    Salt & Pepper; to taste
    1 tb Maple syrup (20 g)
    5 cl Garlic; minced
    1/2 ts Crushed red pepper flakes
    - (1 g)
    1 Flax egg

    Preparation time: 10 minutes
    Cooking time: 20 minutes

    If you like your vegetarian meatballs with beans, veggies and big
    flavor, these chickpea and beet meatballs are for you. Great for meal
    prep!

    Preheat oven to 375?F and prepare a silicone mat or parchment paper.

    Set up your flax egg in the freezer for 10 minutes and prepare the
    other ingredients.

    In a food processor, add the chopped beet and chickpeas and pulse
    until smoother. Add in all the other ingredients including the flax
    egg. Pulse/blend until incorporated together, but not too much (you
    don't want it to turn into a paste).

    Scoop out 1-1/2 tb per ball. I got about 13 meatballs.

    Place on the silicone mat and bake for 15 to 20 minutes, depending on
    your oven. I baked for 20 minutes.

    Remove and allow the meatballs to cool. They will definitely firm up
    as they cool.

    Serve over cooked pasta, even risotto. Top with vegan parmesan cheese
    and fresh parsley to garnish.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Bambi,_a_Life_in_the_Woods

    Yeah, it's really a girl's name. Walt Dizzy got led astray. The name
    Bambi is of Italian origin, derived from the word "bambina," which means "young girl" or "child." Although Bambi is a male character in the Disney film, the name has predominantly been used for girls since its popularization. Additionally, it can also mean "innocent" in Italian. The name gained
    further recognition from the 1942 Disney animated film,

    I burned some sage under them and the smoke caused them to drop to the

    6 oz Butterscotch chips
    1 c Chopped nuts

    Recipe by: NAFY67C@prodigy.com (DEBORAH EPSTEIN)

    Prepare pudding according to package directions and let
    cool. Mix into cake mix. (You don't have to beat, but you
    can beat this for 2 minutes for a bit if lighter cake if
    desired...without beating is comes out thick and dense, and
    QUITE delicious!). Spread batter into a 9x13 inch pan.
    Sprinkle nuts and chips evenly on top. Bake at 350 for 25
    minutes.

    My note: This did not say anything about greasing the
    pan...I used PAM spray.
    I haven't tried it with instant pudding....so I don't know
    if you'd get the same results.
    ==== TRIPLE FUDGE CAKE:
    Follow the same recipe but use:
    1 package chocolate (or devil's food) cake mix. 1 package
    chocolate pudding. 6 oz. chocolate chips. 1 cup chopped
    nuts.JM.
