Orange Peel Beef
I came up with this orange peel beef by attempting to duplicate a dish at a local Chinese restaurant. A friend told me that Chinese chefs often use baking soda as a meat tenderizer (called velveting). My family thinks it tastes even better than the original.
Doro Wat: Ethiopian Chicken Dish
I love Ethiopian food but had difficulty finding authentic recipes online. I ultimately found 3 or 4 recipes and altered them all to incorporate them together in an attempt to capture the flavors in this doro wat: Ethopian chicken dish. Typically served with injera and some side vegetable dish. I prefer Atkilt, a cabbage and potato dish, but there are many delicious options.
