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
We can trace the history of written recipes way back into distant history, in truth as far as early Egypt, and potentially, even further back. Having said that, in the main part, these early records were just very basic hieroglyphic instructions for preparing food.
In fact, the most ancient recipe discovered, according to experts is a collection of stone tablets in the Sumerian language which describe the baking of bread which is then used to make a drink, quite possibly a form of beer as it is recorded as having made those who drank it feel blissful. Later on, in Roman times around 25BC a roman called Apicius assembled a few documents which described recipes prepared by wealthy roman citizens. In his scrolls, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were divided into appetizers, entrees and desserts, something that is very familiar to us today. He also tells us how the cooks of his times were skilled in the use of many aromatic flavors, including a few that will be familiar to modern chefs like thyme, rue and dill. For the next few years, the upper-class families of Wesstern Europe tried to lay on the most extravagent meals, and consequentially the best chefs and their recipes became highly prized. Nevertheless, it was during the 1800s that cookery and recipe publications really came of age. The Famous Mrs Isabella Beeton in the UK, and the equally famous Fannie Farmer in the US, spent years to collecting, trying out, and publishing recipes to help cooks of their time. The introduction of the TV brings us celebrity chefs and the demand for the accompanying recipe books. And that pretty much brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to access thousands of recipes like the ones you can find on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
