It was such comfort food for me as a kid.

I have a large frypan I use when I need a wok which gets me by. And I do use out of date food - esp the spicy type - but it was a shock when I hadn't used the sweet chilli sauce for ages to see just how long it had been hanging about - I used to go through this stuff a lot lot faster!Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-36477694638363299342008-10-04T10:55:00.000+10:002008-10-04T10:55:00.000+10:00thanks Ricki - I think rainbow chard tastes better...thanks Ricki - I think rainbow chard tastes better than plain old silverbeet because of its colours - probably all in my head! <BR/><BR/>thanks Wendy - yes Asian soups always seem so healthy and comforting<BR/><BR/>thanks Lisa - an email will come your way (internet connection and energy permitting) - this soup has made me think I should try a few more Chinese recipes at home - and I always feel more like Asian food when the weather is warmer!Johanna GGGhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08594201473931487490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-50882083477639727082008-10-04T10:52:00.000+10:002008-10-04T10:52:00.000+10:00During The Great Gas Crisis in Victoria as the las...During The Great Gas Crisis in Victoria as the last century came to an end (oh those bucket showers on cool autumn mornings!) I cooked everything in an electric fry pan for the duration. The stir fries were amazingly good and the teflon pan easy to clean. I reckon they rivaled the wok cooked ones I make.<BR/><BR/>I admit to using chilli sauce 2 years past use by. I keep most opened sauces in the fridge so that extends shelf life. Tasted the same, no one died and no one knew except me! :)GShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11963643826578219126noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-89477259255586448562008-10-04T10:18:00.000+10:002008-10-04T10:18:00.000+10:00What a lovely entry Johanna.

No matter, it has been noted. <BR/><BR/>I too rarely make stir fry, preferring instead soups. I also rarely visit Chinese restaurants, as the vegetarian options are usually not terribly appealing. I have enjoyed a few Chinese recipes that I have made though and should explore Chinese cuisine more.Lisa Turnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596930753946940084noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6742756814967464811.post-68545420710321643172008-10-04T00:00:00.000+10:002008-10-04T00:00:00.000+10:00Ah, we're thinking the same this week - Asian soup...Ah, we're thinking the same this week - Asian soups!
