The recruits enter boot camp and see it transformed for a Chinese New Year celebration. First, they play a game where fortune cookie clues lead them to ingredients, and they learn to make fried rice. For the main dish challenge, Anne Burrell and Alton Brown mentor the recruits as they make dumplings, and while some dumplings are great, others are filled with disappointment.
Sandra Lee shows you how to make your Chinese take-out favorites at home and save a fistful of dollars in the process. Her "stay-in" menu features Crispy Orange Beef with Broccoli, Sweet and Sticky Spare Ribs, homemade Fortune Cookies and a Mellow Mai Tai cocktail that is priced right. Your extras won't be around for long when you see Sandra's "Round 2 Recipe" for Wonton Soup.
Molly Yeh is making some of her favorite Chinese-inspired recipes, including some passed down from her dad's family. He's flying in with Molly's Aunt Lucy to visit her and baby Bernie, so Molly makes them her grandma's sweet and sour Tepong Pork with Fried Rice that's easy and addictive. Her Sauteed Spinach with Sweet Black Garlic is a side dish that's loaded with flavor, and for dessert, they'll love her Chocolate-Stuffed Sesame Balls.
Molly Yeh's sister is visiting, so Molly's taking her snowshoeing -- with treats, of course! They snack on Pistachio White Chocolates and Beef and Rutabaga Hand Pies with Jalapeno Ketchup. Then, they have some cheesy fun with a Gruyere Fondue Dinner party with Gummy Bear Bark for dessert.
Molly Yeh is making some tasty family favorites to celebrate a visit from her dad. The menu includes Chicken Pot Stickers with Dipping Sauce, Scallion Pancakes with Maple Carrot Slaw and Green Beans with her versatile Magic Sesame Sauce. The visit ends with Molly and her dad breaking out their instruments for a musical jamming session before enjoying Molly's Sprinkles Cake.
