Fresh bean sprouts are a must for this recipe from China's Hunan province. The canned variety don't have the requisite crispness. Keep a close eye on the toasting sesame seeds so they don't burn.

PREHEAT OVEN TO 300F. Toast the sesame seeds by spreading them over the bottom of a pie tin. Roast for 12-to-16 minutes, stirring often, until they are golden. The seeds can be toasted in advance and stored in an airtight container. Place the bean sprouts in a large heatproof bowl and set it aside. In a medium-size skillet set over moderately low heat, stir-fry the garlic, scallions and ginger in the oil for 2 to 3 minutes, until they are limp. Add all the remaining ingredients, increase the heat to moderate, then boil the mixture, uncovered, for 1 minute to slightly reduce the liquid. Pour the boiling dressing over the bean sprouts, toss well, then --==<<< Continued next message >>>==--

JM=>My sis and I stopped for a soup and salad bar lunch at JM=>Shoney's last week and one of their soups was a JM=>Cabbage Beef soup that was delicious!!! I asked about JM=>it and was told that Shoney's does not make their own JM=>soups - they get it in huge jars from a restaurant JM=>supplier. Just wondered if anyone had a recipe for JM=>a cabbage beef soup. I could tell that it had JM=>cabbage (of course, ), ground beef, I believe it JM=>had a beef broth base and it had chunks of tomato and JM=>green pepper in it. Was a little bit spicy- maybe JM=>red pepper, or a little tabasco- I couldn't really JM=>identify the "hot" ingredient. Any recipes that JM=>sound like this would be appreciated.

Try this one! It comes from a good friend's mom...she says that her mom in Odessa, Ukraine made this there. Whatever...it's good!
