I made the sweet and sour vegetables last night and I reallyy liked them.
My husband thought they were too sour, but I thought the sweet and sour
mixture was just right. If it is too sour, you could cut out some of the
vinegar. Can anyone guess as to how much fat is in this recipe? It did not
give any information. Well, here is the recipe.

Sweet and Sour Vegetables
Servings: 6
Preparation Time: 30 minutes
Cooking Time: 15 minutes

Serve over rice or other whole grains.

1 20 oz. can pineapple chunks in 1 cup sliced carrots
their own juice 4 cups chopped broccoli
1 onion, cut in wedges 1 cup water
1 bunch scallions, cut into 2 cloves garlic, crushed
1 inch pieces 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
1 large green pepper, cut into
1 inch pieces

Sauce
1 cup unsweetened pinapple 1/4 cup cider vinegar
juice 2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
1/3 cup brown sugar 2 tablespoons cornstarch

Drain the pineapple, reserve the juice and set aside.
Place the vegetables, except the broccoli, in a large pot or wok with
1/2 cup of the water and the garlic and ginger. Saute for 5 minutes. Add
the broccoli and the remaining 1/2 cup water. Stir, then cover and cook
over low heat for 5 minutes.
Combine the sauce ingredients in a separate bowl.
Stir in the pineapple chunks and the sauce mixture. Cook, stirring until
thickened.

Title: Shrimp Toast
Categories: Seafood, Oriental, Wok
Yield: 4 servings

2 Water chestnuts
1/2 lb Shrimp, cleaned deveined
Salt
Pepper
1/2 sm Onion
1 tb Corn starch
1 Egg
8 sl Bread (crusts removed)
Oil for deep frying

1. Dice onion, water chestnuts, and shrimp together. Mince until fine.
Place in small bowl. Add egg, salt, pepper, and corn starch. Mix
thoroughly. Spread in a thin layer on slices of bread.

2. Pour oil into a wok, halfway up. Turn heat on to highest point.
When you think oil is sufficiently heated, take a bread crust and
test it to see if it is up to the proper temperature. If bread crust
readily browns to a golden colour then oil is ready. If bread crust
fails to brown, then oil is not ready yet. If bread crust turns to a
dark brown, then shut heat off and allow oil to cool at least 5
minutes before turning burner back on. Be sure and retest oil before
deep frying shrimp toast.

3. Place a slice of bread with the shrimp mixture face down in the
hot oil and deep fry about 3 minutes until golden brown colour. Turn
bread and fry reverse side. Remove to paper toweling to drain excess
oil. Repeat procedure until all slices are done.

4. Cut slices of shrimp toast into strips or triangles. Serve
immediately.

NOTE: Very nice to serve for after theatre snack. Shrimp can be
minced and mixed ahead of time. Deep frying can be done at last
minute.
