Ingredients:

18 Half Shell Oysters
1/4 cup margarine or butter
1/4 cup chopped celery
1/4 cup chopped green onions and tops
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1 package (10 oz.) frozen, chopped spinach, thawed
2 teaspoons anisette
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup dry bread crumbs
1 tablespoon melted margarine or butter
rock salt

Method

In a small saucepan, saute celery, onions and parsley in margarine until
tender. In blender, combine sauteed vegetables, spinach, anisette and salt.
Blend until almost pureed. When necessary, stop blender and push vegetables
into blades. Place 1/2 inch of rock salt in a shallow, oven-proof serving
dish. Nestle half shell oysters in salt bed. (This rock salt holds the
shells in place and keeps oysters hot.) Top each oyster with spinach
mixture. Combine bread crumbs and melted margarine, then sprinkle crumb
mixture over oysters. Bake at 450 degrees for 10 minutes. Serve immediately.

    eggrolls.jpg

    ingredients:

    1 lb. chinese cabbage (Napa)
    2 stalks celery
    1/2 lb. cooked shrimp
    1/2 lb. cooked pork or chicken livers
    10 water chestnuts
    1/3 cup bamboo shoots
    1 tsp. salt
    1 tsp. sugar
    Liberal dash pepper
    1/2 tsp. light soy sauce
    1/4 tsp. sesame oil
    1 beaten egg
    10 egg roll skins
    3 cups oil

    Method

    Boil cabbage and celery until very tender. Drain and squeeze
    out excess water. Shred very fine and set aside to
    drain further. Parboil shrimp and fry or bake pork. Mince both. Shred
    water chestnuts and bamboo shoots. Mix all ingredients but egg together.
    Beat egg. Wrap filling in egg roll skins and seal with egg.
    COOKING: Heat oil in wok or deep fat fryer to 375 degrees and drop in egg
    rolls. When skin turns light golden brown, remove from oil and drain. (At
    this point restaurants refrigerate them and finish the cooking process as
    needed.) When cool, drop again into hot oil and fry until golden brown.
    Makes 10.
    The two-stage deep frying method is actually a professional Chinese chefs’
    secret. It assures that the inside will be moist and not overcooked (as
    anything overcooked becomes dry) and the outside will be crisp.
