Tonight I am making Crab Rangoon and Stir-Fry. Ask me anything!

[Scout1071]

1. Imitation crab or real?

[Scout1071]

2. Real crab of course!

Canned crab lump meat. Must be real.

[tridim]

26. I always thought real crab was too expensive

I never even looked at it or considered buying it at the store.

Just bought a can for $3.00, which is cheaper than the fake stuff. I also figured out how to make wonton wrappers puffy and crispy.. Apparently the secret is to deep fry them in Crisco instead of vegetable oil. What would I do without the Internet?

29. If you ever read how they make imitation crab,

you'll never buy it again.

Just saying...

[tridim]

3. That sounds really good

I guess I was going to the grocery store anyway. :P

[NashVegas]

4. Can I Come Over?

:)

5. Don't forget the 5-Spice!!!...........

I just made some homemade sesame chicken and I was out of 5-spice. It doesn't taste the same. Its good, but could be better.

6. What's in it?

[Scout1071]

9. First of all...my apologies for the delay. I was actually off cooking

and entertaining my guests.

The stir fry was chicken (marinated in a korean stir fry marinade), broccoli, onion, mushroom and zuchini. MMMM.

Crab rangoon filling was cream cheese, crab (real), scallions, fresh garlic, fresh lemon, splash of worchester sauce. Double Mmmmmm.

7. Stop teasing us

and post a recipe!!!!!!

[Telly Savalas]

8. Seconded.

What's in the secret sauce for the stir fry?

[Scout1071]

12. Kind of lazy and buy the sauce, but I really like a brand of sauce.

I believe it's the House of Tsang brand. The classic stir fry sauce and the korean stir fry (slightly hotter) are both delicious.

[bicentennial_baby]

19. I love House of Tsang!

Yummy....

[Scout1071]

24. Tonight I used two different flavors.

One to marinade the chicken and one for the veggie stir-fry. They were both yummy.

10. can i have some?

yum! :9

[Scout1071]

14. Of course! Come on over. Here are the directions:

Look at a map of the US. Pinpoint the center and start heading that way. I'll see you in Kansas City in approximately ________ hours?

[progmom]

15. i was in KC back in september

don't think i will have another good reason to go back soon. besides you and your delicious food, of course. :)

[Scout1071]

16. Ahhhhh....sounds as if you

didn't see the town with the right people? In the words of Jerry Garcia - "Don't tell me this town ain't got no heart, you just gotta poke around."

Should you make it back, I'll certainly dust off the fryer and make another batch. Followed by a proper tour of the city/scene/night.

[progmom]

18. i was there on business

i am certain i didn't see what the city had to offer. :)

[Scout1071]

20. Oi. Probably stuck in some crappy suburban hotel room?

Nothing but strip malls for miles, eh?

[progmom]

21. egg-zackly

i did get a native to help me find Charlie Parker's grave. that was cool! :)

[Scout1071]

23. I travel a lot for work and those suburban hotel rooms with strip malls

really all start to look exactly the same. I guess if you travel a lot, there is some comfort in that for some people, but I always want to see the parts of a city that set it apart. I have to remind myself that I can't judge a city by their suburbs!

My gut instinct says you probably stayed in Overland Park. Just a guess.

Never the less, should you make it back, I'd be delighted to give you some pointers and/or a tour.

[peekaloo]

11. Would you pass some o' dat this way, please?

love crab rangoon

[Scout1071]

13. My pleasure. My friends ate a couple dozen of them!

I only have a couple left over after a huge batch.

[auntAgonist]

17. can i have some pleeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeze?

[Scout1071]

22. Of course you may. Would like a little sweet & sour sauce or hot mustard?

Or both?

[auntAgonist]

25. definately the hot mustard, thanks!

Gads, now I'm hungry.

[UrbScotty]

27. Bigger crab: Dubya, Jeb, or Rove? (nt)

[BikeWriter]

28. I've been thinking of making Crab Rangoon for days!

I guess I'll have to now! :)
