    Title: Peanut Sauce Chicken
    Categories: Oriental, Poultry, Nuts, Chilies, Vegetables
    Yield: 4 Servings

    3 tb Peanut oil
    1 lb Chicken; in medium cubes
    2 cl Garlic; minced
    1 tb Minced fresh ginger root
    1/2 c Preserved radish
    4 Sq. canned firm bean curd *
    2 Green onions

    MMMMM---------------------------SAUCE--------------------------------
    2 tb Crunchy peanut butter
    1 tb Dark soy sauce
    1 tb Cider vinegar
    2 tb Sesame oil
    2 Dried, hot, red chilies
    2 ts Sugar
    1/3 c Stock
    1/2 ts Msg (if you must)

    * I use another 12 oz of meat in place of the tofu - UDD

    Soak radish in warm water for 45 minutes. Cut chicken in
    1/2" cubes. Drain & rinse canned bean curd; cut into 1/2"
    cubes. (If using fresh bean curd, wrap it in clean dish
    towel and press it for 1 hour to make it more firm. Wrap
    it tightly & use about a 5-pound weight.) Drain radish &
    cut into 1/2" cubes. Cut green onions, including tops,
    in 2" lengths.

    SAUCE: In a cup, cream together peanut butter and soy
    sauce. Slowly mix in remaining sauce ingredients. Set
    aside.

    STIR-FRYING: Add oil to hot wok. When oil starts to
    smoke, add meat. Stir-fry for about 1 minute. Add garlic
    & ginger; stir-fry for another 30 seconds. Transfer meat
    to saucepan; add peanut sauce; heat & simmer for 15
    minutes, adding onions about mid-way. Skim off excess
    oil. Add more stock if sauce thickens.

    STEAMING: In Chinese steamer, steam radish & bean curd
    on its serving plate for 15 minutes, just prior to
    serving. When ready to serve, drain water off plate,
    and top vegetables with chicken & peanut sauce.

    NOTE: This works well with pork, also - UDD

    Title: Gingery Peanut Noodles w/Chicken
    Categories: Poultry, Pasta, Nuts, Herbs
    Yield: 4 Servings

    1/2 c Peanut butter
    3 tb Rice vinegar
    3 tb Soy sauce
    1 tb Brown sugar
    1 ts Grated fresh ginger
    8 oz Spaghetti or angel hair
    1 1/2 c Shredded rotisserie chicken
    1 Red bell pepper; sliced
    1/2 English cucumber; in strips
    2 Scallions; sliced
    2 tb Chopped unsalted roasted
    - peanuts

    Cook the pasta according to the package directions; drain
    and return it to the pot.

    In a blender, combine 1 cup water with the peanut butter,
    rice vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, and ginger. Blend
    until smooth.

    Add the peanut mixture, chicken, bell pepper, cucumber,
    and scallions to the pasta pot and toss to combine. Serve
    sprinkled with the peanuts.

    Tip: To shred a rotisserie chicken, pull off the breasts
    and legs with your hands (if you're squeamish, you can use
    a knife); remove the bones and, using 2 forks, pull the
    meat apart. A 2 1/2 pound rotisserie bird will yield 3 1/2
    to 4 cups of meat.

    Serves 4
