looking for WING"S plum sauce love this

The question was what is our favorite Chinese menu item. My children and I love Chicken Corn Soup. Although as much as I have tried I cannot find a recipe for it. It seems easy enough to replicate but I seem to be doing something wrong. Among our other favorites there is Sweet Sour Pork or Chicken, BBQ Pork Chow Mein Cashew Chicken.

I have been to my fair share of Chinese restaurants and buffets in my lifetime. The buffets are the best deal. You get to sample so many different dishes. I love all the different flavors and tastes of chicken. Orange chicken is a yummy dish with a sweet little tang to it. This is a great set of recipes to save to your collection and keep as a reference for future dishes.

Im looking for the recipe for Elephant Bar Crispy Honey Orange Shrimp

I have been looking for a recipe for Chrispy fried duck. Our local Chinese take-out restaurant changed hands and the new owners don't make it!!!
