So... Jewish recipes?

A older Jewish co-worker of mine (he's in his 60's) was reminiscing today about some fantastic food his grandmother used to cook when he was a kid. (And given that he's in his 60's, and she was probably near that when he was a kid, that tells you something about what era she grew up in. Hint: it's back before fast food and frozen dinners and microwaves were on the scene.)

Anyways, he was mentioning a bunch of different ethnic dishes she used to cook -- tayglach, applesauce noodle kugel, potato pudding, tzimmes, and lokshin -- and I found myself deeply curious about recipes for these dishes. Can anyone recommend good recipes for these, or any other traditionally Jewish food?

[Recipe] Mongolian Beef (with Choice of Sauces)

An old favorite recipe of mine is Mongolian beef, gotten from a friend on LiveJournal. I also found a recipe for Mongolian hoisin sauce in my new Martin Yan's China cookbook, so I decided to try making my old recipe with this new sauce.

( Mongolian Beef (with Choice of Sauces) )

Regardless of which sauce you choose, this is an absolutely savory recipe with some spicy bite. (Personally, I prefer the oyster-bean sauce over Yan's Mongolian hoisin sauce recipe. This is mostly because 1/3 cup of hoisin sauce is the bulk of an 8-oz. bottle from the market -- and at $3.29/bottle, I'd rather use small quantites of varied sauces and make my condiments last.)

You can serve this with rice, with noodles, or just by itself as a snack -- incredibly tasty.
