Recipes

Sesame Chicken Wraps
4 TBS Soy Sauce
4 TBS Brown Sugar
1 TBS Cornstarch
2 C Chicken Breast Strips (I cut them into bite sized pieces, actually)
1 TBS Butter
4 TBS Sesame Seeds
2 TBS Sesame Oil
6 Lettuce Leaves (butter)

Combine soy sauce, brown sugar, and cornstarch in a small bowl: pour over chicken strips and stir to coat. Set aside for 15 minutes. In a frying pan, melt butter over low heat. Add sesame seeds and cook until lightly browned. Set aside to cool. In a separate skillet, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Quickly stir-fry the chicken in the heated oil just until cooked through. Combine sesame seeds with chicken. Spoon one-sixth of the mixture atop the center of each lettuce leaf. Fold lettuce into a wrap to be eaten by hand. Place on a platter. Makes 6 sesame chicken bundles.

Beef and Broccoli
1 lb top round beef steak
1/4 C soy sauce
2 TBS sugar
1/4 C white grape juice or apple juice
2 TBS cornstarch
1 C water
2 C fresh broccoli florets, stems removed
4 TBS vegetable or olice oil, divided
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp sesame oil

Cut beef steak into 2-inch strips: set aside. Combine soy sauce, sugar, juice, cornstarch, and water in a small bowl: set aside. In a large skillet, stir-fry broccoli in 2 TBS oil for about 5 mins. Don't overcook. Place broccoli in another dish. Pour remaining oil in the same skillet and heat on med-high heat. Add beef steak and cook until well browned on all sides, about 10 mins. Add garlic and cook until fragrant, not more than 1 mintue. Pour soy sauce mixture over meat and cook until slightly thickened. Stir in sesame oil. Remove from heat. Stir in broccoli. Serve over hot steamed rice. (I actually did fried rice)

ENJOY!:)
