I love this recipe it is so good on cold days and really warms  you up. I found this recipe in my "Live Longer" cookbook from readers digest.

This sounds good but I am too lazy to get all these ingredients to make it.  I will try the non-healthy version at a local Chinese restaurant.  But, Marilyn, keep them coming.  Not everyone is as lazy as me... ::)

 :PMarilyn.
I have never eaten this...I love Chinese food but have never cooked it myself. Like Etta Sue I enjoy eating Chinese food out or take away.

You seem very adventurous with food over there.  I have never eaten Mexican either...

I may try this  one day.

This is an interesting recipe.  We have had this in Japan - actually it is Shabu-Shabu.  For Sukiyaki they put a large fry pan in the middle of the table and place the raw ingredients in front of you and you pick up what you want and drop it into the pan to cook - all with chopsticks of course.  I enjoyed everything except one yellow rubbery item - they wouldn't tell us what it was until we had finished eating - guess what - it was chicken esophagus!  :P
