Flavor it Orienta The United States of America is the "melting pot" of the world with every nationality, tradition, custom, eating habit, food, cooking method, and seasoning represented. Today's cooking column draws from pringville's own "Melting pot" to explore "Oriental Castle Cookery" with Angela Ung, who lives here with her husband, two children, plus father and mother -in-law and brothers-in-law. ; Oriental Family life is patriarchal, With father as the head of the household. In business, sons and sons-in-law help run the father's business. Children are taught respectfulness and manners. Also, it is very important that the family eat together. These traditions are part of the Ung's family lifestyle in America, as the family stays together and younger brothers and sons finish schooling. The father, Kam on Ung, and mother, Yung, Hunct, Pi, have started a business to keep the family working together. They are pictured in front of the Chicken Pantry, where authentic Chinese food is served. Angela left Bancock Thailand at the age of 19 and came to America as a student arriving in San Francisco on July 4, 1963. (She is pictured at about that time). She majored in biochemistry bio-chemistry with intentions of getting a pharmaceutical degree, but instead married and started working as a cook to help her husband become the f "degreed chemist. I She still has the knowledge and J background of chemistry, applying it to 1 foods and nutrition. For instance, she lends some tips for better enjoyment and health from the vegetables we eat; "A pinch of salt protects the green of I vegetables, a pinch of sugar enhances ( the natural taste of vegetables. If I vegetables are cooked a short time, you J don't lose the vitamins and minerals. I Raw vegetables provide many more nutrients. Vegetables are best when i sauteed in very hot pan for a short time. ' Use vegetables according to the season I and places they grow. Most Oreintal j people are slim because they don't eat desserts." Now as Angela shares two of her recipes, she also explains the difference between Chinese and Japanese foods; Japanese flavor is more bland and sweet tasting, where as, Chinese food is more spicey. Also she tells of a trick when cooking liver, fish, or veal, is to use ginger to take away the strong tastes of these meats. Her first recipe is for a good, healthful soup and she guarantees you'll never be tired or have low blood if you eat it two or three times a week. Chicken Liver and Spinach Soup ( Serve hot and fresh ) Soup base, soup bone or bullion can be used. (Bones of turkey make good soup stock. Add water according to how many bones.) Wash spinach well. Cut into 3 pieces. ( Roots tase better than leaves and are a storehouse of nutritional value.) Let stock boil, add salt, pepper, pinch of sugar. Add chicken livers ( 1 or 2 per person.) Crush ginger root clove. Add to soup base. Do not cover. When it starts to boil again, add spinach and take off heat. Spinach will be green and crunchy. Add dash of chili cauce, if you like it. j Angela had some really memorable i experiences as she learned to cook in America. She studied American dishes I and cookbooks, but there are many things she had to learn through trial I and error;1 (like egg whites will not ' stiffen if the slightest bit of egg yolk is on the beater or gets into the whites.) She says, "You can't follow what ! cookbooks say. It's hard to understand without experience and knowing the , tricks." i i f i r "St. I Ml HtMlB Angela obtained her first job because she could prepare delicious Chinese food. Her employer was a movie producer who had done many of Ronald Reagan's movies. For the first dinner she prepared an eight-course Chinese dinner for 12 guests, one of whom was Frank Sinatra. If Chicken Liver and Spinach Soup is a little too drastic for your Oriental taste, here's Chicken and Cashew Chowmein (Any kind of nut can be substituted for the cashew including the peanut.)

One of the featured composers in the planned Parade of American Music is LaDean Bird, whose training in music is "inservice training" coming from a natural talent. She had a few years of piano training in her youth, and played by ear. She played flute in the band in high school in Murray, has chorus classes, etc. there, also. Her marriage to Dan Bird brought her to Springville and on one occassion when Dan was painting in their home the furniture was out of place; the piano in the hallway. She sat down and played and quickly realized she was playing her own melodies. With some of them jotted down on music paper, she took them to a close neighbor friend who encouraged her to contiue. A few years later after composing music for her flute, for the piano and for her children, she presented a program in her friend's club. Since then she has entertained on many different occasions. oc-casions. With these years of composing behind her, she decided to take classes in theory at BYU so she would know why she does what she does in composing. Four other composers will be featured with LaDean on the evening of February II in the music room of the Springville Museum of Art. The public is invited.
