tonight , for the first time in some 13 eears we sent out for chinese food
after a hard day visiting doctors, getting a shot in the
back(sacroiliac-steroid) and travelling on 4 busses with my folding
chariot(it builds strong arms hauling it off and on the bus). Well, we
have had chinese take out occasionally, but not those shechwan dumplings
with hot oil seame sauce, the kind I used to love, hot on noodles. The
taste of that sauce in m mouth is haunting me and I am tring to figure,
not the recipe for the sauce, which I have in a couple of cookbooks-mostly
peanut butter or sesame paste(tahini?) scallions, hot oil, sesame oil,
etc- but what would be not carby and good to use them on. I was thinking
of chcken but mam not sure. Any bright ideas out there in "watch the
carbs" land? Why do I think that susan and/or Nick will have some ideas?

Mmmm! It would be gorgeous on chicken! My tastebuds went round a baby
spinach salad, with warm grilled chicken, and the sauce sprinkled over
it... good with chicken kebabs, too, which is how I usually make it; I
marinade the kebabs in lemon and coriander leaves, brush with olive
oil and grill them, then pour the sauce over. I'll use cabbage
"noodles", or maybe Dreamfields. I'll also sprinkle a few drops of
sesame oil over anything that could do with that particular dark,
nutty taste; it goes rancid quite quickly, so I try and use a bottle
up within a month.

I'm not sure what I can offer, Wendy. My recipes are basically Thai. You
can peruse my wife's cookbook at
http://sqwertzme.googlepages.com/JunThai.htm, but most of them aren't low
carb. You'd have to do what Jun does for me, modify them. Post or email me
if I'm denser than usual. ;-)

That chicken salad sounds great as do the kebabs. Both look like keepers
to me. also thanks for the noodle suggestions from susan et al.

Does keeping the sesame oil in the refrigerator extend its life without
making it too thick to use? When I was using a different oil with a
short lifespan, that worked for me.

Haven't tried it, but that sounds like a workable tip, thanks, Robert.

Yes, I am going to move my bottle of roasted sesame oil to the fridge right
away! I had to throw out the old one because it went rancid tasting. I
don't use it often enough.
