balmofgileadSince I typed it up to email to my mom in California, I might as well post this recipe. You can use tofu instead of chicken, too. Tofu marinated in ginger, garlic, soy sauce and rice vinegar = yum.
Sesame Chicken Salad
2 TBS sesame seeds
1/4 cup salad oil
3 TBS lemon juice
1.5 TBS soy sauce
1.5 TBS white wine vinegar (we usually use rice vinegar instead)
3 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
2 tsp finely minced fresh ginger
1/2 pound snow peas
1/2 pound bean sprouts
3 to 3.5 c. shredded cooked chicken
[We usually at least double the amounts of garlic, ginger, soy sauce and vinegar, but I like things with a lot of flavor.]
Toast sesame seeds in a small frying pan over medium heat, shaking pan often, until seeds are golden (about 5 minutes). In a large bowl, mix seeds, oil, lemon juice, soy sauce, vinegar, garlic, and ginger until blended.
Fill a large pan halfway with water; bring to a boil. Add pea pods and bean sprouts; cook just until water boils. Drain, rinse with cold water, and drain again. Combine vegetables, chicken, and oil mixture and stir. It's better after it's had a chance to sit for awhile.

I like some of what you write very much, and would love just to silently read what you write sometimes, but of course the way LJ works, you would be exposed to what I write, as well, on your friends page.
I think you misunderstand me; I am not looking for a romantic relationship with you. But if misunderstandings are likely to occur often, then you are right, it may be most harmonious and orderly if we don't interact.
Thank you for your honest reply,
good luck,
Gil.
