PANKO CRUSTED GREEN TOMATOES

Canola Oil For Frying
3/4 Cup or more of Panko Bread Crumbs
11/2 Tablespoons Sesame Seeds can leave out
2 Medium Green Tomatoes, sliced about 1/4 in. thick
1 Egg, beaten
Salt and Pepper to taste
1/2 Cup Mayonnaise
1-2 Teaspoons Wasabi Paste, this is very hot

Stir the sesame seeds and panko together. Or you can leave the seeds out. Dip the tomatoes in the beaten egg and then in the panko mixture or panko crumbs. Put the oil in a heavy skillet to about 1/2 inch deep. Over medium heat let it get hot but not smoking as it will scorch the tomatoes. Drop the tomato slices in and do not crowd them. Fry for 3 to 4 minutes or until golden brown. Turn only once. Put on a paper towel and salt and pepper them.
To make the wasabi mayo mix some of the wasabi paste in with the mayo. This is very hot. You can use some hot sauce mixed in with the mayo instead of the wasabi paste. Use as a dip.

OLD TIME COOKING TIPS

Always stir rice with a fork.
Butter your biscuits while they are still hot.
When washing greens make sure you change them in water 4 times.
Garnish your spinach with boiled eggs or can scramble eggs in the spinach.
Add some butter to your gravey when done.
Use biscuits with chicken and use cornbread with vegs.
When browning meat always blot it with a paper towel before browning it.
Always add some salt to your cold water when boiling eggs to make shells come off good.
Never salt your pinto beans until they are almost done as they will not get done.
A peeled potato in a kettle of pinto beans will take care of gas. Make sure the potato does not cook up and remove it before eating beans.

HOW TO FIX CHICKEN FOR SALADS

Take your  skinless chicken breasts or chicken tenders and put some salt and pepper and a touch of garlic powder on them. Spray a cookie sheet or a small square baking dish. Put the chicken on it and put in the oven and bake covered with aluminum foil for 30 minutes on 350 or until done. This gives the chicken a better flavor than boiling it in water. You can use it like this in different kinds of chicken dishes.The flavor stays in the chicken and the drippings are also very flavorable. Just don't overcook. If you do use water and boil the chicken in it always add a little garlic powder to it as well as salt. This really does give it a good flavor also.
