After he had some, he said he'd rather have this than delivery.

When I cooked them I browned them 'flat side' down (the side they rested on when made & frozen) in a bit of oil with just a couple drops of sesame oil to flavor.  When golden I added enough water to steam and added a lid to the skillet until the meat filling was cooked.

When you make them you get a completely new admiration for those who can whip out dozens of beautifully styled varieties.  I'm not one of those people ~ LOL

Fish sauce has anchovies in it, it smells like dirty socks.. it's one of the most used sauces in most Asian foods, esp Thai, Vietnamese foods, I used it too, mostly for my Chow Mien and marinate meats... we wont notice the stinky smell once we add it in our cooking.. only we need to tell people just in case some people allergic to anchovy

bethk wrote:Supper was mighty tasty!  I know I should probably drop the heavy carbs like the corn & bean saute but I rationalize there's enough fiber to offset most of the calories that will settle in my belly......I'm really good at figuring out a reason I CAN eat something I shouldn't.  LOL

Looks good Beth....
I use the same excuse tactics...like for dessert tonight, I suggested ice cream sandwiches to cool the stomach after drinking our hot coffee.

OK, Cindy, we'll go over this again......DETAILS ~ we need more details, please!

Do you make your own Creamy Cabbage Soup?  Please describe and/or add a recipe.

What is a Bacon Butty Sandwich???

How do you make your deviled eggs, do you add any 'secret' ingredients?

You get a pass on the cheesecake bars because your daughter made them.......

LOL
