Lunch Date Recipes
So I don't really go out to eat much any more. So making food-related dates special means putting a little effort into lunch. Mostly, this meal is comprised of assorted leftovers and arranged to look pretty.
So the recipes of each of the dishes are, starting with the meat:
Terriyaki chicken
1 frozen chicken breast
honey
soy sauce
sake
Nuke the chicken until it starts to cook.
In a skillet, place enough sake and soy sauce to just barely coat the pan. Add a touch of honey, (maybe 1/2 a tablespoon?)
Chop up the chicken into tiny bits, and add to sauce after honey has melted.
Stir chicken until it is evenly cooked and browned.
Then you're done!
Stir Fried Rice Noodles
This dish came about because I had a massive honking bag of rice noodles I picked up because they "looked yummy" but had No Idea what to do with them. Letran told me: "stir fry 'em!" I said "With what seasoning?" "Vegetable oil, soy sauce and sesame oil." Me: "Oh, I got those things!"
So...boil rice noodles, fry them in:
Canola Oil
Soy Sauce
Sesame oil
Vegetables in the rice noodles:
Green onion
Cabbage
Carrot
Mushroom
--add these vegies in while the rice is browning. My bag was super big, and so I had to use my wok for this dish. It made a lot of leftovers, some of which were in this lunch.
The broccoli ringing the noodles was frozen, I warmed it in the microwave and ringed the noodles with them.
