• Re: Embrace the Herb: Make Coriander Chicken
  I had a cilantro chicken recipe at a Chinese restaurant (China Winds) In Cairo, Egypt which operated only for two years (2012-13) but closed down for unknown reasons. Ever since, I've been trying to find a recipe for this dish but couldn't find anything resembling it. The recipe used mainly cilantro stems and not the leaves and the chicken was prec
