Comments on: Like, gag me with a… http://www.champuru.net/blog/2008/04/08/like-gag-me-with-a/ A pinch of this and a dash of that makes champuru a spicy dish.

Some people don't like cilantro (makes them gag, which is obviously not what you are going for), but if you like it, I recommend it. BTW, I've tried the method of turning off the heat twice now (just last night), and the chicken is always still partially raw an hour later, so I would leave it on low heat for a while. The recipe and more advice on my blog.

Too bad the Electric Kitchen is no more. Allison Zeka, the last hostess now runs a consulting firm for employee HR training. Maybe some day, like Let's Go Fishing, the Electric Kitchen will be resurrected. Oh, and I'm glad this dish works for you Donna! ;-) By itself, I’m not a big fan of the dish but add a bit of chili-garlic sauce on the side and it becomes magical.

Something about the yellow-ness of the mainland chicken that makes it gross for ginger chicken. Maybe you can seek an organic chicken? You wouldn't want all the hormones and stuff they feed the gross chickens to get transfered to Snowflake.

Ginger has been known to have anti-emetic properties. Might be a good idea to get to know ginger better. Ginger tea, perhaps? Triple Leaf Tea makes a good one (takes a while to brew but tastes good). Or cold tofu with grated ginger shoyu? Maybe even ginger ale might ease that tummy. It's worth a try... Sounds like it might be the ginger itself that’s working for you.

I think I still have the nose, so maybe it's something you get to prepare you for motherhood. There certainly are many things you will need to smell and determine what they are. ;) Hmmm.... cold ginger chicken. Eat what works for you. One day you will suddenly discover other things will sound and taste appealing again. The super bionic nose is fun especially when you smell something your husband doesn’t.

Actually, I just like the ginger sauce on my rice. The chicken part is okay - a long as there aren't any bone chips. But give me just the ginger/onion sauce and hot rice! Mmmm, ginger chicken.
