| I bet it would make terrific filling for egg-roll wrappers! If
you wanted to do appetizers, you could cut each wrapper in half
before filling, or you could use wonton wrappers. Or you could
use it to fill steamed buns. If you don't have a steamed bun
recipe, I know there's one in my chinese cookbook. Send me mail
and I'll enter it.

| "mei fun" are rice-stick noodles, not bean threads - they are made of
ground up rice and water (and they are *really good*!). The neat thing
about them is that they are very, very white, so they make a pretty
contrast with whatever food you serve on them.

| 1675.4 | 10-flavor chicken is ... | SMURF::HAECK | | Thu Mar 16 1989 07:06 | 18 |
| re: .2
10-flavor chicken with 10 flavors. Imagine that!
0. chicken
1. soy
2. sherry
3. garlic
4. ginger
5. chili peppers
6. corn starch
7. seseme oil
8. rice vinegar
9. peanut butter
10. scallions
It sounds like a strange combination, but it is really good. My teenager
is always after me to make it.

So what color are bean threads. I hope I've been buying the right thing!

| 1675.10 | try again, recipe for 10-flavor Chicken | SMURF::HAECK | | Mon Mar 20 1989 09:44 | 66 |
| Ten-Flavor Chicken
Marinade:
1 T soy
1 T sherry
1 T cornstarch
Filling:
1 lb chicken breasts, shredded
(the recipe calls for shredded, but I usually just
slice it very thin)
1 T sesame oil
2 chili peppers
2 garlic cloves, minced
4 ginger slices, minced
2 T peanut butter
1 T Rice vinegar
1 T soy
1 T sherry
2 Scallions, chopped
Additional ingredient:
1 Head Iceberg Lettuce, separated into whole leaves
Mei-fun
Peanut oil (enough to fill wok within an inch of
the top)
- Heat peanut oil. (That's all the original recipe called for,
I heat it just shy of smoking.)
- Drop Mei-fun into oil; after it expands, turn it over, leave
it in the oil for another few seconds.
- Remove Mei-fun to a large dish lined with paper towels.
- Set Mei-fun aside to drain.
- Heat sesame oil in wok.
- Add chili peppers.
- Cook chili peppers until black.
- Remove chili peppers and discard.
- Add garlic and ginger to oil in wok.
- Cook garlic and ginger 15-20 seconds.
- Add sliced chicken breast to wok.
- Cook (stirring) until chicken is done.
- Add remaining ingredients and stir well (just enough to mix,
no more cooking required).
- Remove from wok.
To eat, fill lettuce leaf with an inch layer of Mei-fun, add
shredded chicken and roll up.

| Mei-fun (also known as rice-stick noodles) and Sai-fun (bean thread noodles)
look almost identical. You have to read the package carefully.
