Sweet and Spicy Noodles w/ Chicken

Another amazing Asian dish!

First prepare:
2-3 chicken breasts cut into chunks and cooked (Cook it with some peanut sauce tossed or any other spices you like to give the chicken some added flavor)
1 lb noodles, fully cooked and drained (any kind you prefer)

In a small sauce pan brown 4 tsp minced garlic in some olive oil then add:
1/4 c. vegetable oil
1/3 c. white vinegar
1/4 c. sugar
1/8 c. sesame seeds
3 Tbsp. soy sauce
1/2 Tbsp. red pepper flakes (or other spicing such as hot sauce or chilies)

For added flavor:

2 c. steamed broccoli (optional)
cashews to taste (optional)

Toss the chicken, noodles, and sauce together in a large fry pan or wok on medium heat. Let it all simmer together for about five minutes so the noodles absorb some of the sauce. Toss in steamed broccoli and cashews (optional). Serve hot.

Cashew Chicken

Shay has been wanting a good cashew chicken and she finally found one. Satisfy your Asian craving without going out to eat! Add an egg rolls from Costco for the ultimate experience. ;)
 

Ingredients:
2 boneless skinless chicken breast, about 10 oz. (cut into small cubes)
1 cup cashew nuts
1-2 small green bell pepper, about 4 oz. (cut into small square pieces)
10 slices ginger
1/2 onion (cut into small square pieces)
Marinate:
2 teaspoon baking soda (to tenderize meat if you want)
2 teaspoon corn starch
1 teaspoon apple juice
Sauce:
1 Tablespoon oyster sauce
1 1/2 teaspoon soy sauce
6 Tablespoons water
6 dashes white pepper powder
1 teaspoon sugar
1 teaspoon apple juice
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil
Salt to taste
  • Marinate the chicken meat with the baking soda for 15-20 minutes and then rinse the chicken thoroughly. (Please make sure that the chicken is properly rinsed clean of the baking soda.) (OPTIONAL STEP)
  • Pat the chicken meat dry with paper towels and then marinate with the rest of the ingredients for 15 minutes.
  • Mix the sauce together and set aside.
  • Heat up a wok with 1 tablespoon of cooking oil and stir-fry the chicken meat until the color turns white or half-cooked. Dish out and set aside.
  • Add another 1 tablespoon of cooking oil into the wok and add in the ginger slices, bell peppers and onions.
  • Stir-fry until you smell the peppery aroma from the green peppers and add the chicken meat back in.
  • Add in the cashew nuts and do a few quick stirs.
  • Add in the sauce and stir continuously until the chicken meat is cooked and well coated with the sauce. Add salt to taste, dish out and serve the Cashew Chicken hot with steamed white rice.

    Buffalo Chicken Salad

    Num Yummy....This recipe came from Favorite Family Recipes blog. You can pick and choose your toppings with what you have in your cupboard or not.

    1 Lb chicken
    1 bottle Buffalo Chicken sauce (any you like! We used Buffalo Wild Wing's "Medium" sauce ;) )
    Lettuce
    Hard boiled eggs, peeled and sliced
    Avocado, sliced in pieces
    Corn kernels
    Chedder or Pepperjack cheese, shredded
    Black beans, drained (optional)
    Sunflower seeds (optional)
    Tortilla strips or croutons
    Ranch or blue cheese dressing of your choice

    Heat oven to 375-degrees. Cover chicken in Buffalo Chicken sauce and place on a greased pan. Place in oven and bake about 25 minutes. (Shortcut = Or you can just grill the chicken in a George Forman and toss it with the sauce in a bag.) Cut chicken into slices and place in a large bowl. Coat chicken in more buffalo sauce. Shred lettuce and place on plate and add chicken, egg, avocado, corn, cheese, sunflower seeds (optional), and top with croutons or we like tortilla strips. Add ranch or blue cheese dressing to your tasting.

    Herbed Pork Paillards w/ Sun dried Tomato Butter

    Kory and I made this one after watching Worst Cooks in America. It turned out just like that picture and was easy!

    Compound Butter:

    • 1 stick (1/2 cup) unsalted butter, softened
    • 2 tablespoons drained and finely chopped oil-packed sundried tomatoes
    • 1 teaspoon minced fresh sage
    • 1 tablespoon finely chopped fresh parsley leaves
    • Pinch Cajun spice
    • Pinch salt

    Pork:

    • 1 (2-pound) boneless pork loin
    • 1/2 cup all-purpose flour
    • Salt and pepper
    • 1/4 cup oil
    • 1 teaspoon minced fresh thyme
    • 1 teaspoon minced fresh parsley
    For the compound butter: In a bowl, combine the softened butter with the sundried tomatoes, sage, parsley, Cajun spice, and salt. Whisk together until well blended. Transfer the mixture to a piece of parchment paper and roll into a cigar shape about 1 1/2 inches thick. Refrigerate until ready to use.
    For the pork: Slice the loin into 3/4-inch thick slices, and then one by one, cover with plastic wrap and pound with a meat mallet until each slice is flat and even (about a 1/4-inch thick).
    Season the flour with salt and pepper, and then dredge the pork in the seasoned flour.
    Heat the oil in a heavy bottom saucepan over medium-high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Once the oil has heated, add the floured pork to the pan and allow to cook until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Reduce the heat, flip, add some thyme and parsley, and repeat the process on the second side until finished cooking, 2 to 3 minutes. Once cooked, remove from the pan and keep warm. Repeat the process until all the pork is cooked.
    Serve with asparagus, green beans, or your favorite side vegetable.
