ICKY STICKY SUGAR SNAKES

Recipe By :
Serving Size : 24 Preparation Time :0:00
Categories : Kids Misc
Halloween

Amount Measure Ingredient — Preparation Method
——– ———— ——————————–
To make dough:
8 tb Unsalted butter — at room
3 tb Honey
1 t Vanilla extract
1 c All-purpose flour
1/2 ts Salt
1/2 ts Vegetable oil
1/2 c Chocolate chips
To make sticky sauce:
1/2 c Honey
2 tb Sugar
2 tb Ground cinnamon

Recipe by: Creepy Cuisine, Lucy Munroe
Preheat the oven to 300 degrees. In a medium
bowl, mash the butter and honey with a fork until well
blended. Gradually stir in the vanilla extract, flour
and salt. The mixture should have a doughy
consistency. Wrap the dough in a plastic wrap and
store in the refrigerator for 1 hour. Grease cookie
sheets with the vegetable oil. After an hour, remove
the dough from the refrigerator and separate it into
pieces the size of golf balls. If the dough sticks to
your hands, dip them in flour. Roll out balls between
your hands into snakelike shapes, about the length and
thickness of your pinky. Separate each ball into 4
smaller sections and roll each section into a snake.
Place snakes 1 inch apart on cookie sheets. Bake for
20 to 25 minutes, or until the snakes begin to turn
light brown. Carefully remove the cookie sheets from
the oven and immediately remove the snakes from the
sheets to a platter. Allow snakes to cool slightly and
press 2 chocolate chip eyes into the head of each
snake. Set aside until completely cooled. To prepare
sticky sauce, mix honey, sugar and cinnamon in a small
bowl.
Drizzle over the cooled snakes and serve.

————————–GARNISH————————–
Loose lettuce leaves

This dish will require a good deal of time to prepare
but will turn out well.

Rub soy sauce over duckling. Boil enough oil to cover
the bird in large deep-fry pan. Add duck, fry until
entire bird is well-browned. Remove, drain on
absorbent toweling. Use sharp cleaver to slash duck
from breast to lower belly. Don’t cut through bone.
Place duck in pan, stuff cavity with celery, onion,
ginger root, black mushrooms, orange peel, bamboo
shoots, anise, 1 tsp. salt, sugar, pepper, MSG.
Distribute evenly. Place on platter, elevate in a
steamer. Cover, steam for 2-1/2 hrs. Make sure water
is replenished as it evaporates. Remove platter, allow
duck to cool. Discard all ingredients except bamboo
shoots mushrooms. Save all juices for gravy.
Carefully remove wings legs. Gently separate flesh
from carcass with hands, starting from slash keeping
skin intact.

Be sure not to make any more holes in skin, to keep
bird in its natural shape.(Carcass will make good
soup.) Spread duck, meat side up, on a deep platter.
De-bone the legs, place w/ wings. Spread mushrooms
bamboo shoots on duck meat. Replace in steaming
utensil steam again 20 minutes. Remove. Line large
serving platter with lettuce leaves. Turn platter with
duck upside-down so that duck rests on leaves, skin
side up. Pour cooking juices into saucepan. There
should be 2 cups liquid. Bring to boil, on high heat.
Add cornstarch, 1 tbs. soy sauce, 1/4 tsp. salt. Stir
continuously until gravy thickens. Pour gravy over
whole duck. Garnish with Chinese parsley serve
immediately.

Chopsticks are recommended.

From: Lucinda Rasmussen

One of our favorite quick (but incredibly messy) meals is “fried” brown
rice. I find I like it even better than the fried white rice I get at
Chinese restaurants. We had this last night:

“Fried” Brown Rice

3-4 cups leftover cooked brown rice (refrigerated overnight)
1 tsp minced ginger
1 tsp minsed garlic
1 large onion, chopped
1/2 lb mushrooms
1 grated carrot
a few green onions, sliced
a handful of frozen peas
any other compatible veggies you have in your refrigerator, chopped
soy sauce or tamari to taste

In a LARGE non-stick skillet, saute the ginger, garlic, onion, mushrooms
and any other veggies that need pre-cooking for about 5 minutes. Transfer
to a bowl. Dry off the bottom of the skillet, return to heat (oops, I
forgot the heat setting — medium high does really well) and add rice.
Dry fry it for a while, until some of it turns golden brown. Then add back
the cooked veggies, the green onions and peas. Sprinkle with soy sauce to
taste and mix all well. Heat thoroughly. Enjoy! Then spend the rest of the
week getting rice granules out of your stove.
