Chinese for the 4th

txhawkeye · July 2015

The family requested Chinese my wok is packed away as we are living in an apartment temporarily while our new house is being finished so I went and bought a cheap one at the store and made our favorites and a vegetarian dish for my daughter.

Mongolian beef. And I somehow thought I took pics of the orange chicken, but I did not probably too many adult beverages at that time. But I put some chicken breast tenders in the sous vide and finished in the wok with a spicy orange sauce. For the vegetarian I found a chick pea chicken at the store and put it in the wok with the same spicy orange sauce. All turned out well one of my go to meals that the whole family likes. Very time consuming but I enjoy it.

@txhawkeye - Hmmm interesting. Last two posts on BGE Forum are with WOKS! Tell me about these recipes, your set up, temps, etc. May have to try this!

Very impressive! Looks better than the Chinese food around here.

Very nice! I have to try the wok on the Egg. Just picked up the Spyder at CGS last weekend for this purpose.

Here are the recipies I follow.

I always use alittle more sugar and green onions in this one than it calls for. the onions replace the crabmeat for us, I use Turbinado sugar, and fry them in my deep fryer not on the egg.

You definitely get extra points for saying damn the apt and rolling with your egg in the parking lot while in temp housing.

Great looking food.

@ChristinaSunshine

Sorry somehow posted without finishing

I have cheated on this one the last couple of times, Pei Wei has great brown rice so we go buy the rice instead of making it and add all of the other ingerdients, it costs $3.00 and way better than I could boil up here. i have never added the meat or bean sprouts, and generally double the egg.

This one I make as directed I usually make double the sauce so we have some on the side.

I havent found a good orange chicken recipie so if anyone has one please share. This time I used Honey Seared sauce from Pei Wei and added red pepper flakes. As far as temp I just put the wok on the grate at the fire ring the hotter the better, you cant really follow the times in these recipies you have to go by how it looks based on the higher temps than using a stovetop. This time the wok I used has a handle that required me to raise the grate do it took a little longer than normal, but was easier to use. Hope this helps let me know how it goes

I need to get one of those I think it would be a big help

Nice!!! Haven't used my wok in forever.

Hmmm... Chinese for the 4th, seems kind of fitting given how much we import and how much debt is owed to them....

Other than that, looks like a winner.
