    Title: Aji Namul (Baby Eggplant)
    Categories: Vegetables, Side dish, Korean
    Yield: 6 Servings

    4 sm Eggplants
    4 c Salted water
    1 tb Soy sauce
    1 ts Sesame oil
    1 ts Sesame seeds
    1 cl Garlic; crushed
    1/8 ts Pepper
    1/4 ts Sugar
    2 tb Chinese chives or
    - green onions; chopped

    Cut four crosscuts from the ends of the eggplants down to the stem
    to form 8 fingers, still connected at the stem. Bring salted water
    to a boil, and boil the eggplants about 5 minutes until tender, but
    still firm. Drain well.

    While eggplants are still warm, cut off the stem to release the
    8 sections. Combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, sesame seeds,
    garlic, pepper, and sugar. Add the eggplant strips and toss well.
    Garnish with the chopped chives. Serve at room temperature.

    If we spared our grub based on cuteness we'd never eat many of our staple
    foods .... no lamb chops, no venison, no ....

    Title: Chinese Chives & Eggs Stir Fry
    Categories: Eggs, Vegetables, Wine
    Yield: 2 servings

    5 lg Eggs
    1/8 ts Sugar
    1/2 ts Salt
    1 ts Shaoxing wine
    1/4 ts Ground white pepper
    1/4 ts Sesame oil
    4 ts Water
    2 c Chinese chives/garlic chives
    - chopped
    4 tb Vegetable oil
    1 1/4 ts Cornstarch
    1 tb Water

    Crack the eggs into a large bowl, and add the sugar,
    salt, Shaoxing wine, white pepper, sesame oil and water.
    Beat the eggs for a good 30 seconds until you see a
    layer of small bubbles floating on the surface of the
    beaten eggs. Make the cornstarch slurry by dissolving
    the cornstarch in 1 tablespoon of water. Add the
    cornstarch slurry and mix in the chives until combined.
    Now you are ready to cook.

    Heat a wok until it just starts to smoke, and then turn
    the heat down to medium low. Wait 10 seconds, and then
    add the oil. Coat the wok with oil using your spatula to
    swirl it around. The oil should be hot but not smoking
    when you add the egg mixture.

    Once you pour the eggs into the wok, flip and stir them
    slowly with a spatula, being careful not to let the eggs
    brown or firm up too much. Once the eggs are just
    cooked, they’re ready. Serve!

    Oh no, not Bambi too!

    Chinese chives is also known as garlic chives.

    I have seen them for sale in the Asian market.
    I imagine one could substitute garlic scapes.

    Title: Chinese Chives & Eggs Stir Fry

    Nice recipe, thanks!

    Title: Chinese Chives With Fly Heads
    Categories: Pork, Taiwanese
    Yield: 1 Batch

    1 lb Pork; minced
    2 tb Chinese black bean
    5 oz Chinese chives; preferably
    - the ones with flowers
    2 tb Fresh Thai chili; seeded and
    - chopped
    2 tb Soy sauce; +2 tb
    2 tb Cooking wine
    1 ts Sugar
    1/3 ts Sesame oil
    1 cl Garlic; minced
    2 sl Ginger; minced
    1 Scallion; minced

    Soak the black beans 2 tb of water for 5 minutes. Raise and drain.

    Chop the Chinese chives into tiny pieces. Marinate the pork with 2 ts
    of soy sauce and 1 tb of cooking wine.

    Pre-cook the pork. This is a key step to determine if you can achieve
    that restaurant quality at home. You will need a cookware that can
    heat up to high temperature and has good heat retention. I use a cast
    iron wok.

    Over high heat, heat up the wok until you see continuous smoke. Add 1
    tb of oil and add 1/3rd of minced pork. Quickly spread out the pork
    to ensure you get a quick and nice sear to lock in the juice, about
    1-1/2 minutes. Set the pork aside and repeat this for the rest of the
    pork. If you see a good amount of liquid coming out of your pork that
    means your cookware is not hot enough.

    Alternative you can deep fry the pork over low-medium heat. I suspect
    that's what the restaurants do.

    Over high heat, stir fry the black bean, minced garlic and ginger in
    1 tb of oil.

    Add pre-cooked pork and chopped chives. Mix rest of soy sauce, cooking
    wine, and sugar. Cook for about 2 minutes. Add salt if necessary. Add
    a few drops of sesame oil at the end. Before serving sprinkle some
    chopped scallion.

    Title: Shoofly Pie

    This group of yellowjackets built a nest near the hinge of my van door.
    I burned some sage under them and the smoke caused them to drop to the
    ground. Then i knocked the nest out with a stick.

    They came back and rebuilt the nest. I repeated my performance with
    the same results.

    I am only trying to discourage them, not kill them. <:)

    ---------- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.05

    Title: Hornet's Nest Cake
    Categories: Cheesecakes
    Yield: 1 servings

    1 pk Yellow cake mix
    1 pk Vanilla pudding mix
    Milk to prepare pudding
    6 oz Butterscotch chips
    1 c Chopped nuts

    Recipe by: NAFY67C@prodigy.com (DEBORAH EPSTEIN)

    Prepare pudding according to package directions and let
    cool. Mix into cake mix. (You don't have to beat, but you
    can beat this for 2 minutes for a bit if lighter cake if
    desired...without beating is comes out thick and dense, and
    QUITE delicious!). Spread batter into a 9x13 inch pan.
    Sprinkle nuts and chips evenly on top. Bake at 350 for 25
    minutes.

    My note: This did not say anything about greasing the
    pan...I used PAM spray.
    I haven't tried it with instant pudding....so I don't know
    if you'd get the same results.
    ==== TRIPLE FUDGE CAKE:
    Follow the same recipe but use:
    1 package chocolate (or devil's food) cake mix. 1 package
    chocolate pudding. 6 oz. chocolate chips. 1 cup chopped
    nuts.JM.
