We celebrated DH's B'day last night with a Chinese dinner. Let me say first, that MsSocks & I will not be opening a Chinese Restaurant any time soon!
The adjusted menu (we ran out of time!!) was:
Wontons - 2000 F&W Festival
Dole Whips (well, the Great Pretender anyway)
Kang Boa Chicken - Nine Dragons, Epcot
Stir-Fried Green Beans
Lo Mein
Ambrosia
Crisp Rice Sushi - California Grill, Contemporary
The Disney recipes worked out really well - except that I got side-tracked while cooking the Wontons & they kind of got soggy.
The Sushi recipe is interesting . . . I wound up with sooooo much of the Rice Krispie treat stuff that I could have made at least 24 fruit roll-ups instead of the 8 it called for! Also, rolling them was a little difficult as the roll-ups had shapes in them. DD says that's the only way they come now & the box wasn't marked. But they were good, just the same!
The Kang Boa Chicken was a hit with everyone!
One note for anyone who has thought about making Lo Mein at home. I didn't think I'd like it with regular pasta, but didn't know where to get what they use in Chinese restaurants. I used Linguine & it was really good. No, not the SAME as in a restaurant, but it certainly didn't seem like Italian pasta in Chinese food.
