In-N-Out Hamburger Recipe
Driving along a busy street in California you might spot In-N-Out Burger.
The drive through lines are often backed up with 20 cars waiting. In-N-Out
Burger is amazingly good because everything is fresh. The secret
to making this is to get the patty real thin, 1/4 inch or less. At the
drive through, you can order onions grilled for your burger. |

This is an unofficial recipe:
1/4 pound ground beef

slices)

hamburger bun, face down in the pan.

Form each half into a thin
patty slightly larger than the bun.

Planet Hollywood Pot Stickers:
Six pot stickers filled with fresh ground
turkey meat seasoned with ginger, water chestnuts, red pepper
and green
onions. They are fried and served in a basket with spicy hoisin.
Unofficial recipe:
1/4 pound ground turkey
1 teaspoon minced green onion
1/2 teaspoon minced fresh ginger
1 teaspoon minced water chestnuts
1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper
flakes
1/2 teaspoon ground black pepper
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon garlic powder
1 egg, beaten
Vegetable oil for frying
12 wonton wrappers (3 x 3-inch
size)
Hoison sauce on the side
Combine all the ingredients except
the egg,
wrappers and oil. Add 1 tablespoon
of the beaten
egg. Save the rest of the egg
for later.
Preheat oil in a deep fryer or
a deep saucepan
to 375 degrees. Use enough
oil to cover the pot stickers
-- 1 to 2 inches approx.
Invert a small bowl or glass with
a 3-inch diameter on the center of a
wonton wrapper and cut around
it to make a circle. Repeat for the remaining
wrappers.
Spoon 1/2 tablespoon of the turkey
filling into the center of one wrapper.
Brush some beaten egg around half
of the edge of the wrapper and fold the
wrapper over the filling. Gather
the wrapper as you seal it so that it is
crinkled around the edge. Repeat
with the remaining ingredients.
Deep-fry the pot stickers,
six at a time in the hot oil for 3 to 5 minutes or
until they are brown. Drain on
a rack or paper towels. Serve with hoisin
sauce for dipping.
Serves 3 to 4 as an appetizer.
Starbucks Frappuccino
unofficial
1/2 cup fresh espresso
2 1/2 cups lowfat milk
1/4 cup granulated sugar
Combine ingredients. Stir
until
sugar is dissolved. Serve cold.
I recommend putting the drink in the
freezer for
an hour or until tiny crystals of ice
begin to form.
The added texture makes this a real
treat.
Makes 3 glasses.
