Ah, the unassuming envelope of onion soup mix. It's more than just for onion soup (or dip). It adds tremendous flavor (and convenience) in all these recipes.

We're not quite sure what makes this St. Louis style fried rice, but it's tasty nonetheless. It's a pretty traditional style fried rice recipe with the addition of either rice wine or sherry in the sauce mixture.

Sauce
1/4 cup light soy sauce
3 tablespoons rice wine or dry sherry
1/2 teaspoon salt
Fried Rice
6 tablespoons peanut oil
2 eggs, lightly beaten
1 carrot, peeled and shredded
1 red bell pepper, seeded and chopped
1/2 cup frozen peas
4 cups cold cooked rice
Combine the ingredients for the sauce in a small bowl. Mix to blend well and set aside.
Place a small skillet over medium heat. When it begins to smoke, add 2 tablespoons of peanut oil and the lightly beaten eggs. Stir until the eggs are firm but moist.
Transfer the eggs from the skillet to a small bowl and break them into small curds. Set aside.
Place a wok over medium-high heat. When it begins to smoke, add the remaining 1/4 cup of peanut oil and the garlic. Stir briefly.
Add the carrot, bell pepper, and peas. Stir-fry 1 minute. Stir in the rice and stir-fry 1 minute.
Pour in the sauce and cook until the rice is heated through, about 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Serve hot.

Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
Beer makes batters better, meat more tender, and sauces more flavorful.
