Asian Beef Meatballs with Spicy Cucumber Salad
Sometimes, it’s nice to have something that is a little lighter fare. This Asain dish, Asian Meatballs with Spicy Cucumber Salad really hits the spot flavorwise. It’s very simple and quick to make, so you can make this for a weeknight dinner – I don’t know about having leftovers, this will probably get all eaten up! If you don’t like spicy food, you can leave the chili out of the cucumber salad.
We make this healthy by including wheatgerm in the meatballs, and we bake the balls in the oven instead of frying or sauteing them.
Kung Pao Chicken – Boswell Style
Kung Pao Chicken – Boswell Style
This is my son’s favorite Kung Pao chicken. It’s spicy but not as tongue blazing as the dish at our local Chinese restaurant, which we love. This is also very simple to make, and you probably have the ingredients in your kitchen already – well, maybe not the Hoisin sauce, but that is available at a supermarket near you. It’s also very easy to add more heat if you want, just add more peppers.

Chinese Lemon Chicken
I love Chinese Lemon Chicken. It is slightly sweet but tastes very fresh. The addition of a little cayenne makes this recipe sing. Baking is a great idea if you are averse to frying, but I prefer the crispness of the fried.
This couldn’t have been easier. I love Lemon Chicken and this turns out just lovely.
Wonton Style Pizza
Asian Delights! We love Chinese food in our house, and I frequently make fried rice and Kung Pao Chicken. I thought we would try something different this time around. I really can’t wait to try this. When I was looking over at Fleishman’s today for my preferred pizza dough recipe, this caught my eye, and …
Chinese Stove Top Barbecued Cornish Hen
With just the two of us, a regular chicken is just too big, so I started buying Cornish Hens. They come two to the pack, at 1 1/2 pounds each. A one-half bird is enough to feed one person. Cornish hens taste just like regular chickens and are not baby chickens. For more information, please see the Wikipedia article on Cornish Game Hen.
I love barbecued chicken, but barbecues have been outlawed in our city, so I am stuck with less conventional ways of barbecuing. Last year, I bought a cast iron grill/griddle just for the purpose of barbecuing steaks and making pancakes. It also does a fine job with chicken, and I use the top of my wok to cover foods so they can completely cook. Of course, I have to have my windows wide open, and I shut off the bedroom where the fire alarms are to prevent them from going off. My grill/griddle is easy to clean, just put it in water while it is still warm, but not hot.
I used Hoisin sauce because my son had expressed a desire for Chinese food the day before, but you could use whatever barbecue sauce is your favorite. I served it with Same Day Fried Rice and we had ourselves an Asian feast!

Asian Inspired Fruit Salad
Recipes in this Post
I have been a fan of Chinese Chicken Salad since the 1980’s when I first had it. Everyone once in a while, I have all the ingredients to make it. This afternoon, Spane and I went and had a very filling lunch at Everest Burgers, so we didn’t want a heavy or big dinner. I asked him if salad would be good, and he said yes. Then I went to my pantry and saw that I had Mandarin oranges, I knew what to make.
This salad has everything but the chicken, and if you happen to have cooked chicken, you are more than welcome to add it to this salad. Make sure you have a sharp knife because you will be chopping the greens and the onion into small pieces.
You could add other fruit to this salad as well, like lychee nuts, or even cherries. I had unsweetened coconut chips which had just enough sweetness, sweetened coconut would be too powerful, so I don’t recommend it. Please choose whichever Asian salad dressing you like, we like Girard’s Asian Dressing.
