Didn't see a thread already, so here we go. I try to stick to 'homemade from scratch' as much as possible and love to experiment. When I do, I don't measure but eyeball it. Even though I have a collection of cookbooks, there are few recipes that I stick to word for word & will usually tweak & tinker, only using the printed recipe as a guideline.
Please feel free to share any of your favorite recipes whether appetizers, soup, salad, breads, meat or main dish, sides, desserts, snacks, whatever strikes your fancy. I only ask that it be something you have prepared and enjoyed yourself as a 'tried & true'. Here is one I love...
Fried Rice
1/2 C leftover meat (chicken, beef, pork), chopped...or 2-3 strips of bacon cooked & crumbled or
2-3 links Chinese sausage, sliced or bay/salad shrimp
2 eggs
1/3 C frozen peas & carrots (or any favorite veggie)
2 C cooked rice, cooled
3-4 Tbls soy sauce
1/4 C sliced green onions
I usually will start with raw bacon & cook till crisp then use the grease to cook the rest. If you choose not to do it that way, then heat your large skillet with about 2-3 Tbs oil. When hot, add & scramble the eggs. Push to one side of pan. Add veggies, cook & stir for a few minutes till hot & crisp tender. Add rice & soy sauce & stir all together until well mixed. Cook & stir just a few more minutes. Then top with green onions. Enjoy
