HG: Sweet n Sticky Sesame Chicken

One of my all time favorite foods is sesame chicken from the Chinese take-out place down the road (well, really just any sesame chicken, but I digress). I know its horrible for you, but I just can't help myself. So when Hungry Girl made a sesame chicken recipe, I was all for it. I've been wanting to make this for a while, but only got around to it he other night.

This recipe actually reminded me more of honey/orange chicken than sesame chicken, but it was still very good. My mom and I did make some alterations to the recipe. We omitted the sesame oil, and added a bit of Splenda brown sugar to add a bit more sweetness. I don't think that this will completely take the place of take-out, but it is a recipe that I will make again.

The Crab Rangoonies

I made these on a whim the other day when I discovered a package of imitation crab meat in the freezer.

I did half the amount of scallions in the recipe, and there seemed to be more than enough, for me. They tasted exactly like the rangoons that I get at the buffet; sooo good. My mom did whip up a hoisin and soy sauce dip for them which went perfectly. These are definitely on the "to be made again" list.
