@Greys0n-

I love Asian food, too! It's always very satisfying and flavourful, regardless of it's country of origin!

~~~

I noticed his thread, and I decided it is in my best interest to share this thought with you all...

Isn't homemade macaroni and cheese the best? Have you guys ever had some?

It's so unlike Kraft Dinner or any other pre-made mac n cheese, and it is great! Especially when you add some tomato and fish to it!

Yes! Homemade mac n cheese beats any other, plus you can actually add real cheese. I can't say I've ever had it with tomato or fish in it, but it sounds good! I should try that sometime. I love putting broccoli in my mac n cheese though. I feel like broccoli goods good with pretty much any pasta.

The "real cheese" aspect of homemade mac n cheese is probably my favourite part of it all!

I've never tried broccoli in my mac n cheese before, but I can't believe I haven't! Sounds like a great idea! You've given me inspiration for my next mac n cheese dish.

Broccoli tastes amazing with cheese, so I have no doubt in my mind that I'll thoroughly enjoy it~

I love Asian food. Specifically, Chinese food is my favorite. Onmy Bthday I got this multicooker from my mum. I'm really bad in cooking but I tried to cook the Chinese food today. It was awesome! This time I tryied General Tso’s chicken. More times than not, this is what I will order at Chinese restaurants. It has a little more of a kick than sweet and sour chicken and I like the flavor better.

Asian food is the best! In my opinion, definitely the best continent for food.
That sounds really tasty, I also almost always go for the General Tso's chicken. How did you make it? I've never used a multicooker, but it sounds handy. Have you tried making noodles?

it's my recipe
3 large chicken breasts (about 2 pounds), chopped into bite size pieces
2 tablespoons oil
1 cup corn starch
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon pepper
sauce
4 tablespoons hoisin sauce (can be found in the Asian section at most markets)
4 tablespoons soy sauce
4 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
1 tablespoon minced garlic (or garlic powder)
2 tablespoons water
1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes
steamed or fried rice for serving

Add chicken and cornstarch to a large ziplock bag. Toss to coat the chicken with the cornstarch.
Heat oil in a large skillet or wok.
Saute chicken until golden brown on both sides about 2 minutes on each side. (Note the chicken will not be fully cooked and that is ok)
Add the chicken to the multi cooker.
Add hoisin sauce, vinegar, sugar and sesame oil to a medium bowl and whisk until combined.
Pour the sauce onto the chicken and stir to coat the chicken.
Cook on low for 2-3 hours.

yes i also like noodles but i have not made it yet

- On a scale of 1-10 (10 being loads), how much do you love food? probably a 6.5
- What's is your favourite dish and why? it depends in my mood, the weather, and how hungry I am or what I'm doing, but Nata De Coco, sorbet, or japanese chicken curry with rice.
- If you could live off one type of cuisine for the rest of your life, what would it be and why? Probably sorbet, because it has that unique flavour, it's fruity, tangy and it's sweet! Perfect for snacking on, too :3
- What was the last thing you ate? A small bowl of spaghetti topped with cheese. Mmmm!
- name a dish that's a tradition in your country that others might not know? Pavlova
- Do you cook yourself and if so, what do you enjoy cooking? Yes I do, and I love bakin cookies and cake, or making home-made sweets the most! I have a sweet tooth!
- Who's your favourite Chef? Cook etc? Myself! XD
- Do you prefer sweet or savoury foods? usually sweet
- Anything else you'd like to ask the group? uhm, yes. Are there any good homemade candy or toffee recipes you could help me with? Thanks

- On a scale of 1-10 (10 being loads), how much do you love food? 10. So much that I'm currently pursuing a degree in nutrition. c:
- What's is your favourite dish and why? Chicken parm. Chicken, cheese, saucy. The only edible thing on campus. What's not to like?
- If you could live off one type of cuisine for the rest of your life, what would it be and why? Italian, or breakfast. I never get tired of either.
- What was the last thing you ate? Chicken quesadilla
- name a dish that's a tradition in your country that other's might not know? Unfortunately there's not many. My mom makes a killer blueberry buckle lol. For those who don't know, it's kind of like a blueberry coffee cake. Buckeyes are also fairly common in the US. Those are essentially peanut-butter balls dipped in chocolate.
- Do you cook yourself and if so, what do you enjoy cooking? You bet! I enjoy exploring all types of food and am trying to branch out. I'd say I make more breakfast food than anything. Dessert would be my second favorite thing to make.
- Who's your favourite Chef? Cook etc? Alton Brown. Ever seen Good Eats?
- Do you prefer sweet or savoury foods? Both. Combining them is the best. Like Honey Nut Chex Mix.
- Anything else you'd like to ask the group? Do you have a favorite flavor of chex mix?
