Ingredients
2 tbsp sugar
2 tsp accent*
2 tsp sesame oil
1 tsp pepper
1/4 cup vinegar
1/3 cup salad oil
1 bunch bok choy
1 bunch napa cabbage
1 package ramen noodles
1 chicken breast (optional)
4 green onions
1 1/2 cup unsalted peanuts (up to 2 c)
Directions
Mix dressing ingredients (sugar, Accent, oils, pepper and vinegar)
and let stand. Boil and shred chicken breast. Slice bok choy and
cabbage and dice green onions. Break noodles into small pieces.
Combine bok choy, cabbage, chicken, noodles, onions and peanuts. Pour
dressing over combined ingredients and toss to coat.
* Instead of Accent, you can use 1/2 t. each of garlic and celery
salt and 1 t. seasoned salt.
Note: if served immediately, noodles are very crispy. I prefer to let
it sit in refrigerator for a while to "mellow."
This makes a good sized bowl of salad; not sure of the exact
servings, but at least 4-6 people.
Servings: 1 servings

The History of Recipes
Transcribed cooking instructions as a concept can be tracked back into ancient history, in fact as far back into history as the early Egyptians, and possibly even further than that. Having said that, mostly, these ancient records were just basic pictorial instructions for food preparation.
In an interesting twist, the most ancient recipe discovered so far, according to food historians is a series of tablets in the Sumerian language which show the making of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made anyone who drank it feel exhilarated. Later on, in The time of the romans 25BC a man called Apicius created some scripts showing how to cook the recipes enjoyed by the Romans. In his publication, he recounts how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main meal and afters, something we still use today. Aspicius also tells us how the Roman cooks used a wide range of herbs, including some that we all recognise for example bay, mint and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, knights returning from the crusades brought back a variety of spices and herbs from middle-east cuisine, such as coriander, parsley, and rosemary. The introduction of these new foods and spices created an explosion in manuscripts on food, many of which are kept safe in private libraries. The TV revolution brings us TV chefs and the accompanying recipe books. Which pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, permitting us all to access thousands of recipes just like those on the site you are now reading. |
