Prep 4 oz of your favorite Multi Grain Pasta. I used Ronzoni Healthy Harvest tonight ~ it wasn't bad, but, I have to say I still prefer the Barilla Plus more!
You want to make sure that you cook it a little "firm" - maybe about 8 minutes as it will cook a bit more at the end of the recipe.
As your pasta cooks, chop up all your veggies (red & yellow peppers, cabbage, onion) and saute them in about 2 tsp canola oil over medium high heat for about 8 minutes or until soft.
Remove your veggies, combine them with the pasta and set them aside.
Heat up 1 Tbsp of sesame oil and add your aromatics (garlic, ginger, green onions, cilantro) with 3 Tbsp chicken broth. Cook for about 1 minute.
Add in your 12 oz of thinly sliced chicken breast, 2 Tbsp Soy Sauce & 1 Tbsp Hoisin Sauce and cook about 3-5 minutes or until your chicken is almost done.
Add back in your veggie/noodle mixture with 1/2 c chicken broth and cook for 3 minutes.
Remove from heat & top with toasted sesame seeds and sliced green onions.

I LOVE spicy asian food if you haven't noticed so I made sure I drizzled some Srirachi Hot Sauce on top of my sesame chicken noodles and served it up with 8 oz fat free milk & a super sweet and juicy organic pear.

OH got to love Chinese food that is yummy AND easy!! I made lo mein tonight but totally messed it up! I wanted to use up my edamame, but didn't realize they were still in the pod until they were dumped in the pan with the raw chicken. I looked like an idiot eating my lo mein with my hands to extract the edamame from the pods. :)
ReplyDeletei looove cock sauce! (sriracha) yum! that dish looks yummy and i love the stats, so much protein :)
ReplyDeletelooks like a good workout too!
That looks really delicious-- and I am right with you on the sriracha! I'll have to try that recipe next time I stock up with groceries.
ReplyDeleteI love Asian noodle dishes, and this one looks really hearty and filling, as well as yummy! I also love things spicy and I use not only the Srirachi but hot chili oil. Yum!
ReplyDeleteKitchen Panda ~ I bet you were too rushed or tired and didn't realize the edamame had the pods on :) LOL. I bet it still tasted good though - pods and all.
ReplyDeleteJanetha ~ I have never heard it refered to as that - you must tell how you came up with that name! :D
Felish ~ I think everything tastes better spicy - a good metabolism rev up maybe :) LOL. I can't wait to hear what you think when you try it.
Kelly ~ Yum - hot chili oil would be fabulous to use in this recipe maybe instead of the canola oil - great idea! The multi-grain pasta definitley makes it filling.
