Source/History: "I've been looking for a good sesame chicken recipe. I adapted a few, and this tastes something like what I think it should. I used Fish and Things Teriyaki Marinade (on this site). It tastes a lot like Mr. Yoshida's teriyaki. If you prefer, you can substitute pancake syrup for honey, and fresh ginger for five-spice powder." Yield: 6 servings.

Source/History: "Chicken parts are brushed with a butter and curry mixture and baked in a mixture of rice, seasonings and dried fruit." Yield: 6 servings.

Source/History: "Authentic Cajun flavor! I grew up in Louisiana and love red beans and rice, these are just like I remember. Serve with Tabasco sauce for a little kick. My family loved to splash a little cider vinegar in each bowl." Yield: 8 servings.

Source/History: "This is a Mexican-American dish that has a surprisingly tasty flavor although some may laugh at the type of beans used. My mother made it for us as children." Yield: 10 servings.

Source/History: "Easy, fast, healthy and delicious! This perfect weeknight dish takes less than 30 minutes, so it's a regular in our house. You can vary the heat by the kind and amount of chile powder and hot peppers you use. Serve over hot cooked rice, if desired." Yield: 2 servings.
