Chinese Brown Sauce- Homemade Chinese food that will make your family ask to stay in

Of course we all know that it is both healthier and cheaper to eat at home then eat out but when you are in the mood for certain foods it can be a bit temptation to go out.  A nice lasagna just doesn't taste right when what you were in the mood for was a nice Chinese meal.  But the thing is when you are busy it isn't always convenient to look up recipes and try to make an exotic meal for the first time.  So I wanted to share a little trick with you.  The key is learning at least one sauce recipe by heart and then when it comes to mastering a Chinese meal you will impress even the pickiest of eaters.  This sauce that I am going to share with you is a typical Chinese Brown sauce.  It is easy to make and can be used in hundreds of ways. 

BBQ Chicken with a Spicy, Sesame Asian glaze- An Asian twist to an American summer tradition

There is something about the smell of charcoal burning on a warm day that floods my head with happy memories of long Summer days as a child. There is something communal about a BBQ, more often then cooking in the kitchen people tend to hang out around the grill.  And for me there you just can't get better flavor in your meat then when you grill it.  Everyone seems to have their own standard to grilling meat, their own secret recipe that makes it turn out just right.  But for me I just can't be pleased with one recipe I love experimenting way too much.  So in preparation for a good-bye party for some friends I decided to throw in an Asian twist to my BBQ.
