Tips from the Betty Crocker Kitchens

tip 1
If you don't have fresh gingerroot on hand, use 1/2 teaspoon of ground ginger instead.
tip 2
If you're taking this favorite to a potluck or gathering, chow mein noodles. They add a nice crunch, and there's no need to worry about keeping them hot-simply serve from the bag.
