Vintage Recipes for Chinese Style Entrees

Chinese-style meals are not only tasty, they are usually quick, easy, inexpensive and healthy.  In my vintage recipe collection I have two great recipes to share. 

 Chicken and Vegetables Chinese is definitely a recipe that has the above mentioned attributes.  It is easy to make, doesn’t take much time, the ingredients aren’t expensive, and it makes six servings of only 200 calories each.  That’s a pretty good deal!

CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES CHINESE

1 lb boneless, skinned chicken breast cut into 1 1/2″ pieces
2 cans chicken broth or 4 to 5 chicken bouillon cubes dissolved in 3 cups boiling water
1/2 cup raw rice
2 tbsp soy sauce
1/4 tsp ground ginger
2 cups sliced carrots
1 cup sliced green onions
1 small can chinese vegetables, drained
1/2 cup cooking sherry
1 clove minced garlic
1/4 tsp sage
1/2 cup sliced celery
1/2 cup sliced green pepper (bell pepper)
6-oz pkg frozen pea pods or peas

Brown chicken in a large Pam sprayed pan. Add broth, rice, sherry, soy sauce, garlic and ginger. Simmer, covered, 15 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and simmer until tender. Makes 6 servings of about 200 calories each.

Sweet and Sour Pork slow cooks for one hour but otherwise is a quick recipe.   Again, it is not expensive, it is easy and again, it is a healthy meal.

SWEET AND SOUR PORK

1 lb pork tenderloin, cut into strips
oil for browning
1/3 cup water
1 1/2 tbsp cornstarch
1/3 cup brown sugar
1/3 cup vinegar
3/4 cup pineapple juice
2 tsp soy sauce
1 cup sliced mushrooms
2 cups pineapple chunks
1 green pepper, cut in strips

Brown pork in oil. Add water and cook slowly for 1 hour. Add cornstarch, brown sugar, vinegar, pineapple juice, and soy sauce; mix well. Simmer 15 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and simmer 5 minutes. Serve over rice.

Enjoy!

i am trying to find a cheap pkg deal to las vegas from milw..but i cant find one? where do i look?

i have been told that i can find really cheap deals somewhere to travel to las vegas from milw really cheap. or free if you sit through a presentation, which i havae done for free orlando tickets. but where do i find deals? i am only finding $400per person. thats not a deal. any helP?

Try charter operator http://www.allegiantair.com/
They offer packages to Las Vegas with airfare starting at $99 (but you’d have to drive to Green Bay or Chicago/Rockford Regional).

You will find that fares are substantially higher when flying into Vegas and staying for a weekend as that is the indemand travel period- a weekend stay. If you go to/from midweek, the fare is about $280. Check some travel dates at http://www.air-gorilla.com (They seem to beat out all the Big Name internet travel sites.) Or give http://www.priceline.com a bid.

Another idea is http://SunCountry.com to the Colorado riverside gambling town of Laughlin.
