Skinny Asian day!!
Yes- those people are so damn skinny...
If I ate Chinese food every day, I would NOT look like that...
I LOVE Chinese food...like LOVE!!!
The inventor of Lo Mein is a dang genius.
But it's SO GREASY! UGH!!!
Want to have a quick, delicious, take-out worthy HEALTHY dinner tonight?!
I threw this meal together in less than 30 minutes-
YUP, move over Rachel Ray...
I already had all of these ingredients lying around the house.
Grab:
- A box of whole wheat or veggie sketti. (I used veggie 'guini)
- Low Sodium Soy Sauce (Don't have that lying around?? Use Dale's...it's the same dang thing...)
- Hoisin Sauce
- 1/2 a chicken bullion cube
- Fresh garlic
- Chicken breast (sliced and cooked...go buy that boxed stuff in the lunchmeat isle...or, like me, use your left over fajita meat from Chillis...)
- Veggies (I ONLY like onion, so that's all I'm using...but go ahead and grab some brocolli and those little mini corn thingeys...)
- Oil (You're supposed to use dark oil like sesame, but who has that lying around?? I went EVOO..)
- Crushed or ground red pepper
So, OBVIOUSLY...the first thing you want to do is cook your pasta.
Go ahead- boil the water...add some EVOO and make your noodles...
I'll wait...
Are you still cooking??
Hurry up...
Attention: If your meat and veggies ARE NOT precooked- heat up your wok with EVOO and START NOW.
OKAY- Now that your noodles are almost done, throw some oil in a WOK.
"S, you forgot to give me any measurments?!"
NO, I didn't...I don't measure. Just pour in enough oil to cover the bottom.
Wait until that oil gets hot...the secret to cooking in a wok is HOT HOT HOT.
Next- I toss in my garlic. I DID NOT use enough garlic in this recipe. I would mince up at least 6 cloves because I am using an entire box of pasta.
Once the garlic browns, toss in your meat and veggies
For a little pop of flavor, I added half of a chicken bullion cube (that's solid chicken broth) and a small amount of water to liquify the bullion.
Mix in about 3T of Hoisin sauce and almost double the soy sauce.
Like heat? I do!!! ---Add some red pepper. As much as your heart desires
TOSS AWAAAYYYY...
TOSS TOSS!!!
OKAY- everything hot and steamy? Take it off the heat and toss it occasionally. Let it soak up the liquids
OMG- how GOOD is that?!?!?!?!
Do you know how many calories are in that?!
Neither do I...but you can't go wrong with those ingredients!!
YUMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMM!!!!
Until next time!!
