Christmas Eve Chinese Food

Posted by: jamEs In: Food ()

As I was mentioning the other day we made homemade chinese food. We took some pictures so you could see how everything turned out.
Homemade Almond Soo-Guy
Here’s the Soo-Guy being fried, then me cutting it after it was done.
Homemade Chicken Fried Rice
Corina is here preparing the chicken fried rice. On the right is the Soo-Guy sauce.
Homemade Chinese food, finished product
And here’s the finished product we came up with. It was definitely a learning experience. The next time I’ll probably throw some more baking soda into the chicken balls, as they didn’t really fluff out the way I would have liked. I was pretty amazed that the chicken balls and Soo-Guy seemed to be in the ballpark of the taste we were looking for. We also learned that we could probably manage with 1 chicken breast between the 2 of us, as one each proved to be quite a lot of food. Either way, it turned out awesome, though not quite cost effective. Probably all told it cost $25, but that included sauces that we can use again. Dee-lish!

The recipe is here http://www.recipezaar.com/Warr-Shu-Gai-Almond-Boneless-Chicken-2526 I’ll have to do up a post on it, as I did vary it a bit. I’ll suggest at very least doubling the amount of baking powder in the recipe.
