To Fu Manchu Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• In a large skillet over medium high heat, saute the ground beef for 5 minutes. Add the onion and celery and saute for 5 more minutes.
• In a separate medium bowl, combine the almonds, rice, soup, water and soy sauce. Mix together well and add to the beef mixture. Place this into a lightly greased 9x13 inch baking dish. Top with chow mein noodles.
• Bake at 350 degrees F (175 degrees C) for 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Cut the ends off the plantains and discard. Slice each plantain into 2-inch chunks and score the skins with a knife along one edge. (Do not remove the peel.) Combine the plantains with the chicken stock in a large pot. Bring to a boil, then lower heat, cover and simmer until tender.
• Cut the pork into approximately 1-inch cubes. Season with salt, and place in a large sauce pan. Add enough water to just barely cover the pork. Bring to a boil and simmer, uncovered, until all of the water has boiled away and the pork begins to fry in the rendered fat. Continue to cook just until brown but not crispy. (The meat should be tender and stringy.)
• Remove the fully cooked plantains from the broth, reserving the broth. Peel the plantains. Mash the plantains with a little of the broth, just enough to make a soft paste, like mashed potatoes.
• Mash together the plantains, garlic and lemon juice. Mix in the pork and half of the bacon. Season with salt and pepper. Garnish the top with the remaining bacon and green onions and serve hot.

Steps:

• Heat a little of the oil in a wok or large skillet.
• Tip in the beaten egg and stir with a chopstick until set.
• Remove from pan and set aside.
• Heat the remaining oil in the pan and stir-fry the chicken, garlic, ginger and pepper over a high heat for 5 minutes.
• Stir in the pepperoni, peas, onions, rice and eggs and continue to cook, stirring, for a further 3-4 minutes until piping hot, Season with the soy sauce and serve.

Steps:

• Place the orange juice, honey, raspberries, banana, mango, and tofu in a blender and mix on low speed until the mixture is blended. Continue mixing, gradually increasing the speed, until the mixture is smooth. Pour the smoothie into a glass and garnish with Berries on a Skewer (see Glorious Garnish), if desired.From SUMMER SMOOTHIES: more than 130 cool and refreshing recipes.
