-Meanwhile, in a small bowl, combine 2 tablespoons peanut oil, sesame oil, soy sauce, sugar, cornstarch, and ginger.

Jack,
I have the recipes from outer space in my documents. I ran across them this morning and could not remember where they came from but there is some dang good recipes in there. Were they from you?

A follow up on the recipe...

We've always just bought plain old pasta, not particular about the brand. Never thought there would be a big difference among brands. But there was a sale on Barilla Thin, Multigrain Pasta. I tell you what... it's almost a buck more but the taste difference is definitely worth it. Family was eating the noodles without any sauce or butter.

I've been hooked on Food Network's Diner, Drive Ins, and Dive. I want to try pulling my own Chinese noodles one time and show my 18 year old son what real "ramen" is. :lol:
