"One of my kids favorites! It's easy to make ahead, or on the spot because I always keep the ingredients on hand. Make sure to use the bottled chopped ginger you can find in the produce section near the bottled chopped garlic."

This was delicious. Very sweet with just a little spice from the ginger. When I make again I might do half chicken stock and juice and a some dried chilis. The sauce had a great consistency like the sauce in general tso's chicken.

I love food! I believe naming your recipe is just as important as the ingredients. If it sounds good, the kids will have a positive attitude towards it, before they even take a bite.
I'm a stay at home mom of three (twins almost 16 years old and an 8-year old). I'd rather cook than clean.
I spend hours pouring over my cookbook collection and even more time with my cooking magazines, cutting and pasting recipes into my own binders.
If I had a month off, I'd take my family to Florida and Mexico. We'd sit on the beaches and eat fresh seafood forever! And of course, DH and I would enjoy endless Coronas and Tequila Sunrises while our very competant nanny watches the kids.
