MMMMM----- Recipe via Meal-Master (tm) v8.06

Title: Sichuan-Style Chicken w/Peanuts
Categories: Oriental, Poultry, Vegetables, Nuts, Chilies
Yield: 4 servings

MMMMM-----------------------SICHUAN SAUCE----------------------------
3 tb Chicken broth
1 tb Tomato paste
2 ts Chinkiang * or balsamic
- vinegar
1 ts Sugar
1 ts Soy sauce
1/2 ts Sesame oil
1/4 ts Cornstarch
1/2 ts Crushed red pepper; + more
- to taste

MMMMM--------------------------CHICKEN-------------------------------
1 lb Skinned chicken; trimmed, in
- 1" cubes
1 ts Shao Hsing rice wine, * or
- dry sherry
1 ts Soy sauce
1 1/2 ts Cornstarch
1/2 ts Minced garlic
1 tb Oil
2 sl (1/2") ginger; smashed
2 c Sugar snap peas
1/4 c Dry-roasted peanuts
1 Scallion; minced

TO PREPARE SICHUAN SAUCE: Whisk broth, tomato paste,
vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, cornstarch and
crushed red pepper to taste in a small bowl.

TO PREPARE CHICKEN: Combine chicken, rice wine (or
sherry), soy sauce, cornstarch and garlic in a medium
bowl; mix thoroughly.

Heat a 14" flat-bottomed wok or large skillet over high
heat until a bead of water vaporizes within 1 to 2 seconds
of contact. Swirl oil into the pan, add ginger and
stir-fry for 10 seconds. Carefully add the chicken
mixture, spreading it out. Cook until the chicken begins
to brown, about 1 minute. Using a spatula, stir-fry for 30
seconds. Spread the chicken out again and cook for 30
seconds. Continue stir-frying until the chicken is lightly
browned on all sides, 1 to 2 minutes. Add snap peas and
stir-fry for 1 minute. Stir the Sichuan Sauce, swirl it
into the pan and stir-fry until the chicken is just cooked
through and the sauce is slightly thickened and glossy, 30
seconds to 1 minute. Transfer to a platter (discard the
ginger) and sprinkle with peanuts and scallions. Serve
immediately.

* Chinkiang is a dark, slightly sweet vinegar with a smoky
flavor. It is available in many Asian specialty markets.
If unavailable, balsamic vinegar is an acceptable
substitute.

Shao Hsing (or Shaoxing) is a seasoned rice wine. It is
available in most Asian specialty markets and some larger
supermarkets in the Asian section. An acceptable
substitute is dry sherry, sold with other fortified wines
in your wine or liquor store. (We prefer it to the
"cooking sherry" sold in many supermarkets, which can be
surprisingly high in sodium.)

MAKE AHEAD TIP: Prepare Sichuan Sauce (Step 1); cover and
refrigerate for up to 1 week.

apparently the BBS added at least one more new message area and pushed the COOKING echo out of place... this is just one of several problems that QWK offline mail carries with it :(

Yep.. I sometimes wish users would log in, read bulletins and THEN run their batch files to grab mail, etc.. :)

You know, like this bulletin:

yeah but that blows the order of operations out... the user probably already has a packet to upload which may be the main reason for their connection... that packet is based on how the areas looked before the change... unless the users have some way to edit/change the raw data files for their replies, i don't know how they would be able to handle the situation other than manually downloading and replying all over again... i'm just not aware of such tools being available but it has been since the '80s that i've done any real offline mail stuffs...

some BBSes try to fix this by having two indexes to their message bases... one index is the permanent ID number of the area... this number never changes and may be idea for use in offline mail like QWK... the other index is used to display the areas in whatever sorted order is chosen on the BBS... this number can be changed at any time and has no special relationship with the areas' definitions or ordering positions...

True, though most OLR download bulletins IIRC... could be wrong there :)

Same here.. quite a while at least :)

no, you're not wrong... they generally do unless the user has turned them off... even so, they generally pop in and go directly to the messages to upload
their packet and then download a new one... after that they may go play some games... that's the general flow i've always seen and even used back in the day

Not familiar with BBBS, but I think there should be a way to lock down message numbers. This is one reason why I make sure all my message base numbers are strictly static. Mystic can auto-add but it assigns a static number to every BBS Conference that the sysop can't change. Wildcat does assign a conference number and it usually is static, but there are third party utils that can sort the conferences which screw the QWK up. Synchro has the ability to assign a static or a dynamic if I remember correctly. RA is dependant on the door software you use. BW did not have a way to assign a static # but OLMS did.

Every software that I have ran has the capability to assign a Static solution for the conference numbers. I know my USENET is a mess if you don't have the conference name sorting turned on as I do add groups with no rhyme or reason.

I guess this is on topic because this has caused a lot of controversy in the past. :-) But I would not turn away a QWK reader under any circumstances.
