Those are usually the good ones anyway.

Sounds like dinner to me.  We did a stir-fried 5-
spice beef tonight, I found some going cheap, and 
corn on the cob along with leftover veggies. It 
wasn't something I'd prefer to eat again, at least 
that brand of spice mix, but the technique worked.  
The beef was coated in corn starch with a little 
baking soda and then fried.  It came out very 
tender.
