I am constantly looking for good chinese food that I can cook at home. I am generally not a big rice and pasta eater thank goodness, I just like the "goop" that goes on top. I love Sesame Chicken, ro General Tso Chicken, but I can't get the flavoring right etc. I also LOVE Beef with Chinese mixed Veggies. I just cannot get the sauce right. I have even searched the web, and found nothing. ANY HELP WOULD BE AWESOME!! Thanks!

    Beef Satay with Peanut Sauce

    You could certainly do this without the rice.

    Ingredients
    1 (3 1/2-ounce) bag boil-in-bag long-grain rice
    1 (1-pound) flank steak, trimmed
    2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
    1/4 teaspoon salt
    Cooking spray
    2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro

    1 teaspoon fresh lime juice
    1/2 teaspoon red curry paste


    Preparation
    Preheat broiler.
    Cook rice according to package directions, omitting salt and fat. Drain; cover and keep warm.

    Cut steak diagonally across grain into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Combine steak and hoisin in a bowl; toss to coat. Thread steak onto each of 8 (8-inch) skewers; sprinkle evenly with salt. Place skewers on a broiler pan coated with cooking spray; broil 3 minutes on each side or until desired degree of doneness. Sprinkle skewers with cilantro.

    Combine coconut milk and remaining ingredients in a bowl, stirring until smooth. Serve with skewers and rice.
