Guest guest Posted September 10, 2005 Report Share Posted September 10, 2005 Hi, I never heard of doing it but I found mention of it on this site: http://www.fatfree.com/archive/2001/aug/msg00167.html If it hasn't gone all moldy and inappropriately soft and squishy and turned some strange color maybe it is okay. I don't think that I will try it though. Please tell us if you try it and it works!

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Oh yeah, in my quick version, I forgot to mention maple syrup. I think I used that. I do remember it being a sweet and sour type of sauce. LOL. -Erin , " linda " <lindai81@c...> wrote: > > Oh, good. The recipe sounds wonderful so since you left out the ginger I will too. I made a peanut sauce the other night, just kind of threw it together and used peanut butter, coconut milk, brown rice vinegar, and maple syrup. Since I like cilantro so much maybe I will add that too next time. I used it on a number of different things for different meals, not all at once , but rice, noodles and seitan not- chicken. It was yummy on all of it. I suspect it might have even improved the taste of the chard. > linda > > cronzen > Linda, I think one of the many adjustments I made to this recipe > was to omit the ginger.

Guest guest Posted January 23, 2006 Report Share Posted January 23, 2006 Wow. Hard to imagine not liking ginger... Well, how about trying some allspice or cinnamon or cloves? Do they like those? To my palate, cloves are closest... but then for them that might not be a good choice. ~ pt ~ Be not afraid of growing slowly; be afraid only of standing still. ~ Chinese proverb ~~~*~~~*~~~> , " linda " <lindai81@c...> wrote: > > So many Chinese recipes (as well as others) call for ginger. My family hates ginger, fresh or powdered. Anyone have a suggestion for what I could use in place of it? They can always tell it is in the food...I just don't seem to be able to disguise it. Or is it really necessary...some recipes it certainly looks like it is. > linda Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
