This recipe is my adaptation of the one I found many years ago in "Louisiana Cookin'" by the McIlhenny Company, makers of the original Tabasco sauce.

Delicious! Considering a much lower fat creamy style pasta dish, this recipe definitely deserves 5 stars.

Definitely a five star recipe. I used salami instead of ham, because that was all I had at the moment, and it came out delicious. If you are a big fan of Chinese food and would't mind cooking in your own kitchen, you should give it a go. By the way, chow fan (fun) is how Chinese say fried rice. Happy Cooking :)

A simple seasoning recipe that can add a kick to any of your meals.

Quick, easy and very tasty! Made this recipe a few days ago, it was simply delicious and we served it with fried rice that we made with the leftover rice. A delicious combination, and both of them together made a great meal.

Sun-dried tomatoes, black olives, basil and feta cheese give the nutty crackers tangy Mediterranean flavors, and these crackers are great with cheddar cheese, cream cheese or any cheese you like to go together. They are great appetizer or snack when you have company to come over.

This is a classic dish in Northern China, it's usually made with broad beans, potatoes, pork or beef chunks as you wish, and freshly made noodles. This is an easier version by using spaghetti, I also omit the meat to make it a meatless but still very tasty.
