Chinese Scallion Cakes

1 1/4 C all-purpose flour (approx. 5 cups)
3/4 pint boiling water
1 or 2 Tbs cold water
1 or 2 tsp sesame oil
1 1/2 tsp salt
4 oz margarine or butter
12 oz chopped scallions (about 35)
peanut or corn oil for frying


Sift flour into a large bowl. Pour in the boiling water gradually and
mix with a fork. Rub together with fingers while the flour is still
warm. Add the cold water and knead to form a firm, but not hard,
dough. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes.
Oil a flat surface and a rolling pin with 1 tsp sesame oil. Place
dough on oiled surface. Knead a few times and divide into 6 pieces.
Roll out one piece into a 6 - 7 inch circle with the edges slightly
thinner than the middle. Sprinkle all over with a good 1/4 tsp of
salt and press in with your fingers. Generously spread with 1/2 oz
margarine all over, stopping just short of edges. Spread with about 5
Tbs of chopped scallions.
With both hands, pick of the sides nearest you and roll the cake up
away from you (like a jellyroll), taking care not to let the scallions
fall out. The dough should now be in a cylindrical shape. Pinch the
ends closed and roll towards each other until the dough is
ball-shaped. Gently roll the ball out until it's about 6 inches
across. Don't worry if the surface of the cake bursts while you're
rolling . Repeat for each piece of dough.
Heat a heavy, flat frying pan until hot. Add 2 Tbs oil. Fry the
cakes over low heat, covered, for 4 or 5 minutes or until spotted
brown. Turn over and fry the other side likewise. Remove and drain
on a paper towel.
Serve hot.

Chinese Potato Salad

1/4 cup chopped celantro
Sauce
1 1/3 cup mayonnaise
1 tsp sugar
1 tbs soy sauce
1-2 tsp sesame oil
1/8-1/4 tsp hot mustard powder
1/8 tsp salt

Boil the potatoes until cooked but still firm. Cut into potato
salad-sized chunks. Mix the ingredients for the sauce together,
using more or less sesame oil and host mustard according to taste
(the more the better, up to a point...). Put all solid ingredients
together in a large bowl, then add the sauce and mix well.

Cajun Dirty Rice

1 lb. ground pork
1 lb. ground beef
1 large bell pepper
1 medium onion
5 - 6 peeled cloves of garlic
1 or 2 fresh, green cayenne peppers (if available)
1 tsp. salt (use to own taste)
1 tsp. red pepper (use to own taste -- balance with fresh pepper above)
2 cans mushroom steak sauce (NOT soup, usual brand I find here is Dawn's;
1 can = about 4-6 oz.)
3-4 cups cooked rice ( not real sure about this amout)

The Dressing Mix:
 Pan fry the ground meat well until all of the meat is well done. Put bell
pepper, onion and garlic into food processor and "nearly" liquify it, then
add this to the meat. The pepper/onion/garlic should sizzle as you stir it
well into the the meat. When the sizzling fades, add the mushroom steak
sauce and a little water and allow the entire dressing mix to simmer for at
least a half hour.
Dirty Rice:
Cooked rice can be added to this mixure and thoroughly stirred. The more
rice you add, the drier and "whiter" the resulting dressing will be. Adding
the right amount of rice will result in a dress that is moist with the rice
appearing very brown ("dirty").
 Cornbread Dressing:
Substitute crumbed cornbread for cooked rice.
