stir fry!

The other night I cooked up a chicken stir fry with broccoli, spinach, mushrooms and lo mein noodles. First I marinated the chicken in a white wine for an hour, and then I sauteed the chicken in a pan. After the chicken was cooked through, I added the chicken, veggies and noodles (which I had precooked) and stir fry sauce (soy sauce, cornstarch and water) into the wok. I heated it all up and mixed it all together into a delicious stir fry. It was really good! Next time I would use a different lo mein noodle because these ones were a little too thick, or I would just skip the noodles entirely. Also, next time I would try to make it a little spicier.

if you be my bodygaurd...

Another delicious QCC guest post from the amazing Max Mix Chaiken:

For my second submission to QCC, we have two dishes that I combined into one: shrimp and snow pea stir-fry and yellow-rice and beans. Shrimp and Snow Pea Stir-Fry:
1. Chop up some fresh garlic and ginger and heat it up in some sesame oil in a skillet over medium heat
2. Add your shrimp (I used frozen, pre-cooked, but fresh would work great too! Traif, yes, but still delicious!)
3. Add your snow peas.
4. Sautee 3 minutes before adding a splash of soy sauce, some salt, and some red pepper flakes! Yellow-rice and beans: This is regular rice, but you add some curry powder to the water—enough to turn it yellow! When the rice is almost finished (when there are 2-4 minutes before you'll turn off the oven and the water is almost completely evaporated) add some beans! I used red in this dish, but you can use black beans, or chick peas - whatever you prefer!

Adam was really impressed with this dish and so am I! We may just have to head on over to boston to enjoy some stir frey @ chez mix!

stir fry!

I am so bummed that I don't have a pic from dinner last night: salmon, homemade pesto pasta, green beans, and tom/mozzarella/basil salad. So good!!

Tonight, I made a chicken vegetable stir fry. Marinated cut up pieces of chicken breasts in white wine, then cooked it up in some oil. Then I added fresh spinach, mushrooms and steamed broccoli. Served over hot rice--this meal is definitely a keeper!

Later tonight we are going to the drive in movies for a double feature of Funny People and Bruno.
