2 Cloves Garlic Minced 1/3 Cup Soy Sauce 2 Tbls Bourbon Whiskey 3 Tbls Molasses 1 Star Anise Crushed 3 Tbls Chinese Oyster Sauce
NOTE: You may (in an emergency) substitute 1/2 tsp of ground anise for each crushed star anise. Wipe the meat with a damp cloth and place in a heavy plastic food storage bag. Place the bag in a large bowl. Mix the soy sauce, molasses, chinese oyster sauce, star anise, garlic and bourbon. Carefully pour into the bag and around the meat. Seal the bag and refrigerate 3 to 8 hours (the longer the better). Preheat the oven to 350 degrees. Remove the meat from the marinade and place on a roasting rack in a roasting pan. Roast until a meat thermometer inserted in the center of the roast indicates 170 degrees (about 1 3/4 hours). Remove the roast from the oven and allow to stand for 30 minutes before carving. Carve into very thin slices. Serve warm or at room temperature with hot (chinese style) mustard, rice or noodles and stir fried snow peas.
300 g flourl 1/2 packet of dried yeast or round about 40 g fresh yeast 1/2 Teaspoon Salt 1/2 Teaspoon Sugar 2 Tbs Oliveoil 15 g Butter (melted and cooled down) 0,16 L Water 10 g Sesame seeds
Mix up the flour with the yeast, salt and sugar. Add oliveoil and the melted butter. knead the dough and add bit by bit up to 160 ml warm water. The dough should be easy to take out of the bowl and not sticky.
Let go up for 50 minutes. Again knead through well and then form to a flat round. make little holes in it with a fork or a tooth pick. Rub the bread with slightly floury hands and sprinkle sesame seeds or black turkish cumin over it.
Put a clean dishtowel over it and let go up for another 20 minutes.
Heat the oven on 220-225°C and bake the breadon a middle shelf for ca. 25 minutes.

I found something else which I tried last week.. it's sooo yummy!
Steak in sesame marinade
2 Tbs Sesame 1 clove of garlic, crushed Fresh Ginger, ground (about 3cm) 2 Tbs dark Soysauce (I actually prefer japanese soysauce) 1 Tbs Sake 1 Tbs Caster Sugar 4 Steaks (beef of course) 1 Tbs Sesame oil
For the Dip: 3 springonions 4cm ginger ½ Tbs Shisimi Togarashi (mixture of spices, I always have a packet at home, I'm not sure if you can get it...) 125 ml Soysauce 2 TL Stock (Dashi if you want it authetic, but another good instant stock is acceptable.. I have access to a japanese ordering service (from a german/japanese supermarket, maybe you can get something like that in America as well)) 2 Tbs Water
Roast the sesame for about 2 minutes on a low heat and keep stirring until they start bursting. Then grind them in a mortar. Put the sesameseeds, garlic, ginger, soysauce, sake and sugar into a bowl and mix well. Lay the steaks into a flat bowl and pour the marinade over them. Let it soak for 30 minutes at least.
Cut springonions and ginger into thin slices, then cut them into about 4cm long thin pins. Put the springonion into a bowl with icecold water and let it stand until they roll up. Stir Ginger, Shichimi Togarashi, soysauce, dashi into another bowl with the said amount of water. Now take the steaks out of the marinade and baste with oil. Grill 4-6 minutes on each side (or fry), wait for 5 minues and then cut into stripes. Put the stripes onto plates and sprinkle with some of the dip, garnish with some of the spring onions and serve with rice and the rest of the dip.

I am looking for a good recipe for Lemon Chicken - especially the salad bed that it is served on
Not sure which lemon chicken you are looking for, there are many...
The one I make is served on a bed of lettuce, onion, green onion, and corriander; tossed and then sprinkled with seasame seeds drizzled with the lemon dressing; tossed again, then bean threads added.
There is a wonderful cookbook published by Sunset Press:
Sunset Chinese Cook Book
Peking/Mandarin Szechwan/Human Cantonese Shanghai
Library of Congress Cat. Card Number : 79-88156. ISBN 0-376-02302-3
This book has never stopped amazing me with the secrets it reveals.
1 Large Lemon , thin skinned 1 Tblsp salad oil, I use peanut or sesame 1 Cup chicken broth 7 Tblsp sugar 3 Tblsp lemon juice salt, to taste 1 Tblsp Cornstarch 1 Tblsp Water
Cut lemon into thin slices, discard any seeds and end pieces. In a small pan, heat salad oil over medium-high heat. Add lemon slices and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add chicken broth , sugar, lemon juice, and salt . Simmer for 2 minutes. Blend cornstarch and water to make a paste. Pour into sauce and cook, stirring, until sauce bubbles and thickens slightly. Pour over chicken just before serving.
1 Chicke whole chopped into 8 serving pieces to taste Sea salt to taste Pepper 3 teaspo Lemongrass hearts finely minced 2 tables Vegetable oil 2 Fresh green chiles chopped 2 teaspo Sugar 1/2 cup(s) Chicken stock 3 Scalli finely sliced Cilantro leaves chopped 1/2 cup(s) Dry-roasted peanuts chopped as garnish 2 tables Nuoc mam (fish sauce) 4 cup(s) Jasmine rice cooked for accompaniment
This simple Thai chicken dish features tender hearts of lemongrass, the tropical grass cherished for its fresh lemon fragrance, and fiery green chiles. Serve with steamed jasmine rice. While lemongrass is generally best in dishes that require longer cooking times, such as soups, lemongrass hearts are tender enough to be quickly stir-fried. Preparation time does not include 30 minute marinating time.
Season chicken with salt, pepper, lemongrass and scallions; marinate for 30 minutes in the refrigerator. Heat a wok or skillet and add the oil. When oil is hot, add the chicken and stir-fry for 3 minutes. Add the chiles and stir-fry for 10 minutes on high heat. Season with sugar and add chicken stock. Stir for a few minutes and bring to a boil. Cook until chicken is cooked through and the sauce is reduced. Garnish with cilantro and peanuts. Serve with nuoc mam and cooked jasmine rice on the side.
1 tables Ginger 2 Small onions 1 pound( Beef bones 1/4 pound( Beef shank 2 quart( Water 1/2 Cinnam stick 1 pound( Rice noodles 1 cup(s) Soybean sprouts 2 tables Vegetable oil to taste Salt to taste Pepper 1/4 pound( Beef tenderloin Basil leaves Mint leaves Cilantro Green parts of leek 1/2 Lime sliced to taste Sliced hot chiles
One of the most famous dishes of Vietnam, this soup combines noodles with thinly sliced beef and aromatic herbs. Serve with boiled soybean sprouts. It's authentic to "cook" the beef in the broth, simply make sure it is very hot.
Broil ginger and 1 onion for about 5 minutes; crush ginger. To make the soup base, place beef bones and shank in water. Add cinnamon, ginger, and broiled onion. Simmer for about 40 minutes on low heat. Prepare noodles: drop into pot of boiling water for about 5 minutes until soft. Rinse, drain, and reserve. Keep noodles hot. Separately, drop soybean sprouts into boiling water for about 30 seconds. Drain and keep hot. Slice second onion and fry in vegetable oil. Strain beef and bones. Reserve broth. Bring broth to a simmer; season with salt and pepper. Cut shank meat into very thin slices. Add tenderloin and simmer soup for 10 minutes. Prepare 4 bowls. Place noodles at the bottom, followed by the meat. Top with basil, mint, cilantro, leeks, and fried onion. Pour soup on top. Garnish with lime and small slice of hot chili. Serve hot with boiled soybean sprouts.
This dish is a traditional presentation in dim sum, a favorite ritual in China that's marked by small portions of dumplings, prepared meats, and vegetables. Dumpling skins tend to be thinner, and thus less doughy, than eggroll wrappers. Serve with a simple dipping sauce of soy sauce and minced garlic.
To make the filling, mix pork with rice wine, 1½ teaspoons of the cornstarch, and ¼ teaspoon salt. Heat vegetable oil in a wok or skillet and stir-fry pork mixture until color changes. Remove and drain. Reheat oil and stir-fry garlic, ginger, bamboo shoots, and scallion until fragrant. Mix soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, remaining salt, pepper, sugar, the remaining cornstarch, and water. Add to the bamboo shoot-onion mixture. Bring to a boil, stirring constantly. Add the pork mixture; stir together, then remove from heat. Let cool. Place a portion of the filling in the center of the dough circle, moisten edges with a dab of water, fold in half, and pinch edges to seal. Repeat. Heat 2 inches of peanut oil in a large wok or saucepan until 350° to 375°F. Deep-fry half the dumplings until they rise to the surface and are golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Remove, drain, and repeat procedure for remaining dumplings. Serve dumplings hot with soy sauce for dipping.
