Answer 2

Asian Green Beans

INGREDIENTS:

1 pound green beans, trimmed

1 1/2 cups water

1 tbsp vegetable oil

1/4 cup vegetable broth

2 tbsp soy sauce

2 tsp rice wine or dry sherry

1 tbsp sugar

3 cloves garlic, minced

PREPARATION:

Heat the water in a wok or a large saucepan. Carefully add the beans and steam until tender but crisp, about 8 minutes. Drain and set aside.

In a small bowl, combine the vegetable broth, soy sauce, rice wine and the sugar,  Wipe the excess water from the wok or saucepan, add the oil and heat over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and stir-fry for one minute. Add the beans and sauce, and cook for two minutes, stirring often.

Answer 3

I'd go with either a Chinese chicken salad or sauteed bok choy and garlic.

Bok choy - wash well, cut into 3" lengths, heat up some 1 T. of oil or so, add chopped garlic, add the bok choy, sautee and add a dash of garlic salt.  It's delicious and simple.

Chinese chicken salad - chop head lettuce and won bok (some people add some sliced cabbage), add some cooked shredded chicken, top with garnishes such as Chinese parsley, sliced green onions, wun tun strips, wun tun pi chips, or char siu.  

Asian chicken salad dressing or Asian dressing can be found in your supermarket, or email me, I'll email you a recipe for the dressing.

Happy cooking!
