Chicken Long Rice is really good- You can either do from scratch which is with the chicken bone and onions and celery and boil till the chicken falls off the bones and put alot of fresh ginger (sliced) and soak the long rice in the water for about 15mins then put it in the pot and serve with cilantro or chinese parsley. It's really good, Please try it.
The other way is to just use chicken stocks and put chicken and ginger....

2 cups cauliflower, chopped
1 cup chicken broth
1/4 cup carrot, sliced very thin
1/4 cup celery, sliced thin
1/4 cup onion, diced
1/2 cup cream
1/2 cup water
1 1/2 tablespoons butter

1/2 clove garlic, minced (optional)
1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
Preparation:
In a 2 1/2 quart pot, combine cauliflower, broth, onion, carrot, and celery. Bring to a boil then reduce heat to low and simmer until vegetables are tender — about 15 minutes.
Remove from heat, add cream and water; stir to combine. Pour 1/2 the mixture into a blender and process until smooth; pour into a bowl. (Cover lid of blender with a towel and hold down so the heat of the mixture will not blow the top of the blender off and burn you!)
Continue with the remaining mixture; set aside. Using the same saucepan, heat the butter over medium heat until hot and bubbly; add the mushrooms and garlic; sauté until lightly browned.
Add puréed vegetable mixture and parsley to mushrooms and cook, stirring occasionally until soup is thoroughly heated; 2 to 3 minutes Do not boil, as the cream may curdle. Makes 4 servings.

Hungarian Goulash
Ingredients:
3 slices Bacon
2 diced onions
1 T Olive Oil
2 1/2 lb cubed stewing beef
2 T sweet paprika
2 cup Warm water
4 beef bollion cube
1 t Salt
1 t Black Pepper
1 t white pepper
1 t lea & perrins
13 oz diced tomatoes w/juice
1 pk Splenda
1 dollop Sour Cream
Preparation:
In a cold, heavy 6 to 8-quart stewing pot, fry bacon over low-medium heat until fat is rendered.
Saute onions in the bacon fat for a few minute; do not allow the onions to brown. If bacon does not provide enough fat, add a little olive oil to prevent the onions from sticking. When onions become glossy, add the beef, sauteing with the onions for about 10 minutes, covered, until the meat is browned.
Meanwhile, chop and crush the garlic; add to meat and onions. Remove pot from heat. Stir in paprika rapidly with a wooden spoon. Immediately after paprika is absorbed, add the warm water. The water should just cover the meat, leaving room for potatoes.
Add beef bouillon, salt and pepper, and L&P. Cover pot and cook over low heat for about 1 hour.
While stew is braising, core peppers and cut into strips. After 1 hour of braising, add the tomatoes and green pepper. Add Splenda. Add a little more water, if necessary, and check for seasoning. Simmer slowly for another 30 minutes at least-it/s better if you simmer another hour, then turn off heat and let it stand for a couple of hours to blend flavors.
Serve in bowls, and add a little sour cream to each bowl if desired (but not everyone likes this).
Note: using good quality paprika is important. After about a year, paprika spice tends to lose its intensity. Use the best quality possible!
