try it, your love it! I so good and easy, I made it in only about 5 min. and ate it up just as fast! I tweeked this recipe a little to fix my taste. added some crushed garlic and some korean style red pepper flakes (not enough to make it hot, just enough to give a little spice and some extra demention to the taste) Also, I have some advice for cooking with sesame: First, Grind your sesames seed just a bit before you throw them in. A small mortar will work great for this. Don't mash them completely, just grind them up a bit. If you don't have a mortor, rub them between your fingers as you drop them in. it really releases their flavor, and gives off a great smell as your grinding. Second, cook the meat in a small amout of Veg. oil. then when you are almost done, add about a Tsp of semame oil. do this in the last min. of cooking as sesame oil flavor breaks down quickly when exposed to heat. When the sesame oil smell whafts up, it's done! enjoy^^

Holy cow, this was so good. I actually used this as a base for a fried rice recipe (#38748), but I tasted some before making the rice and it was excellent. I doubled the sauce portions and used 1 lb pork, 2 chicken breasts, and about 20 shrimp all cut up into small pieces. Very good flavor. It seriously did taste like a fine chinese restaurant. Thanks so much!

This was very good. I had a couple huge pork chops that I had left over so I sliced them up and used them. Next time I plan on using some pork tenderloin. The sauce flavor was wonderful -- but it was a little on the thin side. I think I'll add a little cornstarch next time to thicken it up a little -- that way it should cling to the meat and veggie a little better. The snow peas at the store didn't look very good, so I picked up some asparagus and mushrooms -- they were delicious. Thank you for sharing your recipe.

**Update...made this last night with chicken and it was soooo good!** First Review - I heinously modified this recipe! First off, I coated the pork in cornstarch and browned it that way, I just like it so much like that! I didn't know I didn't have any sesame seeds...so, I added in a heaping spoonful of minced garlic, a finely chopped carrot, water chestnuts, some chopped onion that I had in the fridge and about 3 shakes of crushed red pepper. Oh, and I doubled the sauce. I sprinkled green onions and cashews on the top and served over rice. It was a WINNER!

I used this recipe with recipe 38748 (Chinese Fried Rice)... and it was soooo good! I am so glad I used this instead of the plain meat that the other recipe called for... it definitely made the dish better. I did use chicken instead of pork, and skipped the peas, but kept the rest of the ingredients the same.

Small town in the Okanagan, B.C.
On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine.
I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help.
My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods.
I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England!
In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
Here are a few of my photos
