General Tso Chicken

This was a bit complicated because of all the elements. I started by placing all my ingredients out to the side that consisted of one egg, a cup of flour, a sprinkle of salt, some onion powder, and garlic powder. I cracked the egg in a bowl and added a cup of water while mixing the spices in I beat it all together. After about two minutes I added a cup of water and cornstarch, once it was all combined I set it aside. I started my fire with a cup of vegetable oil, I would be using two chicken breast that I cut into cubes. I placed the chicken into the mixture and let it sit for about five minutes. Once the oil heated I began adding my chicken in as far away from each other as possible so that they wouldn't stick together. When the chicken was crispy to my liking I placed it on a plate with a napkin to drain all the oil off. I washed the pot and placed some more oil and put the chicken back in so it would be really crunchy even after the sauce is added to it. I only let the chicken fry for another two minutes because I didn't want it to burn or become too dry. I let the chicken sit for a while on a fresh napkin and began preparing the sauce it would cook in. I used two cups of chicken broth, tbs of cornstarch, tbs of minced garlic, two tbs of low sodium soy sauce, a cap full of sesame oil, half of cup of rice vinegar, one chopped scallion, and a tbs of honey. I mixed everything together in a mixing cup until the corn starch was combined. I used my wok with some of the oil I just used and combined my mixture until it began to boil I added the chicken in and let it cook for less than five minutes. The sauce became thick and I turned my fire off and added some sesame seeds to make it pretty.

Bbq beef flanks, sweet corn, and white rice

This is one of my favorite dishes although it takes forever to cook. I allowed my meat to marinate in my seasoning for two days just so all the flavors will combine well and be finger licking good. The spices I used are seasoning salt, garlic powder, onion powder, green seasoning, bbq sauce and a dash of mustard. Yes, I seasoned these with bbq sauce because it gives it such a kick that it is hard to explain. After two days of marinating these ribs are ready to go in the oven. I place the oven at 350 degrees while waiting for the oven to warm I placed my ribs on a sheet of foil and sealed it tightly. Once the oven was hot I slid my ribs in and started on my sides. The corn is the easy part because its can corn I just basically heat it up add a half of cup of sugar and a giant spoon of butter because I love butter. For my rice, I add two cups of white rice to a boiling pot of two cups of water a spoon of butter and a dash of salt. I kept my rice going for about an hour then wai...

Jasmine Rice, Honey Teriyaki Salmon, and Asparagus

Today I've decided to try something new I've never made salmon but it is something I have always wanted to try. I guess I was scared because I didn't want to mess it up. I started but dabbing both sides of the fish dry with a paper towel. Once it was completely dry I proceeded to season it up while being gentle. I used garlic powder, fish and meat seasoning, onion powder, seasoning salt, and black pepper. I let the fish sit aside for about thirty minuted while I prepared the teriyaki sauce. This is my first time so I'm making this sauce how I think it should be. I got my wok added two cups of low sodium soy sauce, one cup of honey, a spoon of minced garlic and began stirring while it was on low heat. Once it began to simmer I gave it a taste and it was simply delicious. I let it cool for ten minutes because I just didn't want to add the hot mixture to the fish I turned my oven to 325. After ten minutes I poured the sauce to the fish and slide it into the oven. I p...
