Although I think this recipe is similar to some variations of the Chinese fried rice, just without the rice. The dish looks amazing though. Here's a suggestion: Tenderlicious. :) This would go great with rice, as Korena found out. Although I think this recipe is similar to some variations of the Chinese fried rice, just without the rice.

(I only speak mandarin, so that would be the upward stroke tense) Or in the flat no tense or tense with a dot above the buh puh muh characters... am I making any sense here? I don't think there is an English equivalant of the word (or we may just be way too chinese to know it), but it pretty much incorporates the meaning of a satisfying firmness yet yielding feeling and bounce in a bite of cooked to perfection whatever you made piece. Anyways, yummy yummy! Thanks for yet another great dish! Let us know what you were thinking when your done with your contest! =] The first word that popped into my head was ‘Que’; pronounced ‘Q’ in second tense.

You know, the clear bright red sauce with no fruits or veg swimming in it. Every time we visit our local Chinese eatery I beg the owner for the secret and always, he just smiles and walks away. I am thinking that it is a closely guarded family secret that varies from restaurant to restaurant. I have tried many different recipes found on the web but none come close in look or flavor.

How long has it been? :) But I think I've arrived at the word. I blurted it out in the middle of paying for my groceries when I was buying Scallops yesterday. I believe is the word or short phrase is "nun nun de." The English word tender comes close to the Chinese meaning, but the word also describes the popping sensation when bitten into, not the chewiness when seafood is overcooked. Actually there isn't a word for that pop feeling in English. A friend over coffee said perhaps crisp, but crisp refers more to a sound, such as uncooked vegetables such as snow peas or an apple. I think this only shows that there aren't enough people in the English world that has eaten perfectly cooked shrimp. ~sad~ Actually I've been thinking it over, there aren't too many restaurants that have perfect shrimps, the Shicuan place near my home where a friend and I frequent, has really chewy shrimp. Hmmmm.... So the perfect word... unless someone adds it to the English dictionary,doesn't quite exist in the English language. Well, I go searching it on my free time when I'm bored, or perhaps someone has found the word already?
