I like to cook Chinese food. I think my favorites are red cooked chicken or pork, szechuan chicken, five spice pork fried rice, chicken and broccoli with black bean sauce and spicy stirfried string beans. Yum!

My all-time favorite is Cashew Chicken...then...Schezuan anything [pork, beef or chicken or shrimp it matters not] I love the sauce! That Lo-mein recipe looks good and simple too I must give it a try! But I do love Chinese food, mostly from a restaurant. When I make it it tends to loose some authenticity in the taste do not ask me why. Maybe I cook so much it is nice to occassionally have someone else do the chore!

Cook Chatty Cathy: do you ever put in the MSG? this is what makes the difference in Chinese food.

My favorite is the Duck in Hoi Sin Sauce - I wish I know how to make it, but I would probably just end up getting fat! :-D
