Skinny Asian!

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:

1. A box of whole wheat or veggie sketti. (I used veggie 'guini)
2. Low Sodium Soy Sauce (Don't have that lying around?? Use Dale's...it's the same dang thing...)
3. Hoisin Sauce
4. 1/2 a chicken bullion cube
5. Fresh garlic
6. 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...)
7. 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...)
8. Oil (You're supposed to use dark oil like sesame, but who has that lying around?? I went EVOO..)
9. 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!!
