Slow-Cooker Hoisin Beef Stew

This Slow-Cooker Hoisin Beef Stew is really easy and so delicious! Really different for a beef stew. Serve it over jasmine rice.

 

I like to garnish it with sliced green onions.

Sometimes I like to add mushrooms or bamboo shoots and possibly bean sprouts.

With an overnight marinade and all day cooking, this warm and hearty stew is an aromatic welcome after a long day.

A side of steamed edamame or sauteed snow peas is a nice addition to the meal.

Alton Brown’s Perfect Pot Stickers

I started making Alton Brown’s Perfect Pot Stickers after I saw Alton’s show and they are incredible! Not difficult to make and a wonderful taste!

 

Pot stickers are so much easier to make than I thought they would be.

I have also prepared the filling and stuffed the wontons, then flash froze them on a cookie sheet, and bag them when frozen. Just take them out 30 minutes before planning to cook them, and they are great.
