Title: HOT FRIED CHICKEN SALAD
Categories: Poultry, Salads
Yield: 1 servings

2 lb Breasts
1/2 ts Salt
1/4 ts Black pepper
1/2 c Flour
3 Eggs
1/4 c Milk
1/2 c Breadcrumbs
2 c Vegetable oil frying
2 pk Fresh spinach, washed/stemme

~————-For the
chicken:——————————————–
~———-For the salad:———— ———–For
the dressing:———- TO MAKE THE CHICKEN, cut up
breasts season the nuggets with salt and pepper.
Place the flour on a sheet of wax paper, and beat the
eggs with the milk in a shallow bowl. Place the
breadcrumbs on another sheet of wax paper. Dip the
chicken pieces in the flour, shaking to remove any
excess, then dip them in the egg mixture, and then in
the breadcrumbs. Allow them to sit for 10 minutes so
the crumbs will adhere. Prepare salad ingredients, and
arrange them on 6 individual plates or a serving
platter. To make the dressing, combine the honey,
mustard, vinegar, salt and pepper in a bowl. Whisk
until smooth, and then slowly whisk in the oils. To
serve, heat the oil in a deep-sided pan over
medium-high heat to a temperature of 375F. Add the
chicken pieces, being careful not to crowd the pan,
and fry until golden brown, about 5 minutes. The
frying will have to be done in batches. Remove from
the oil with a slotted spoon and drain well on paper
towels. Arrange the chicken pieces on top of the
salads, and drizzle the dressing over all. Serves 6.
Note: The salad is even quicker to make if you
purchase the already-breaded chicken nuggets. You can
buy nuggets already breaded in the poultry case or the
freezer case.

Title: RED-COOKED POT ROAST (SHANGHAI POT ROAST)
Categories: Chinese, Beef, Pork, Lamb
Yield: 12 servings

4 lb Chuck roast, boneless,
-not too lean
1 tb Sherry
1/2 c Regular soy sauce
1 c Water
2 sl Ginger
2 cl Garlic, optional
1 oz Sugar
2 Star anise stars
-(optional for pork)

Either brown the roast in a little fat or dunk it in
boiling water for a minute or so [this step is
optional]. Put it into a heavy kettle into which it
fits fairly snugly. Add all the rest of the
ingredients (ginger slices, star anise, and garlic
should be at the bottom of the pot). Bring to a boil,
then reduce heat and simmer covered, turning and
basting occasionally, for 3 hours or until tender.
Serve sliced, hot or cold. If cold, you may want to
weight it down with a brick covered in foil or some
similarly heavy item while chilling it in the fridge.

You may cook lamb or pork this way, but cut the
cooking time to 2 – 2 1/2 hr. For lamb add a cinnamon
stick instead of the star anise; for pork double the
soy sauce and sherry, either halve or omit the stare
anise, and use up to 4 oz of sugar to taste.
