The dim sum didn't get much response except Salty LOL. New thought:
 
2 categories
 
Traditional Chinese (You would need to make sure this is a dish made in China traditionally. Dim sum still fits here. Find something new, like Grant did with Pepper Pot.)
Take-out Chinese (You would reproduce Chinese-take out food a la American Chinese, Canadian, or wherever the dish originates from, except China. General Tso's Chicken etc.).

I love the updated version ...

Each presents challenges, as it can be hard to emulate the final take-out qualities using home-scale equipment ...

Authentic offers flexibility there, but limits how far afield you can take recipe/ingredients ...

I like it, and would potentially take a crack at both and make a weekend of it ...

Lastly, I'll join in chorus with D3 (again) in desiring Fri -> Mon too, if possible! ...

It's a busy time of year ...
 
Its funny, I spent a number of years learning how to duplicate General Tso's chicken about 15 years ago and since then have been able to buy the sauce in stores and watch local "Chinese" restaurants throw chicken in a deep fryer and then into a wok with the sauce.  That should be easy to dupicate!
 
Reminds me i'm out of gloves. Need to prime a box here pronto got pods in the dehydrator. 
 
Jay T, do you prefer blue or purple nitrile gloves? 
 
Sorry black isn't an option they don't fit.  :rofl:

Chelsea and I made our own orange chicken a while back.  It was better than anything that I ever had in a restaurant.  I'll make it again some time and show pics.
