Summer Come Quickly!


Tessa and I are tired of being cooped up inside during this cold winter so we decided to make summer come to us! :)

Asian Chicken & Garlic Noodles



This is a great and simple Asian noodle recipe that can be easily adjusted to be vegetarian or not nearly as spicy.  If you haven't cooked with oyster sauce before... your life is about to change. It has such a great flavor for stir fry and Asian noodle dishes.
  • Diced Chicken
  • Sliced Mushrooms
  • 1/4 cup diced green onions
  • 1 teaspoon of red pepper flakes
  • 2 tablespoons of adobo sauce
  • 6 tablespoons of butter
  • 2 tablespoons of coconut oil for frying
  • 6 crushed cloves of garlic
  • Angel hair pasta
  • 5 tablespoons of brown sugar
  • 3 teaspoons of soy sauce
  • 3 tablespoons of oyster sauce
Marinate the chicken for an hour in some extra soy and oyster sauce and season with salt and pepper. Throw the coconut oil on the skillet and brown the chicken with the marinating liquid until brown. Toss in mushrooms and garlic until cooked. Set aside.

Cook your noodles separately and set those aside when finished.

For the sauce, combine the butter, oyster sauce, soy sauce, green onions, brown sugar, red pepper flakes and adobo sauce until thick. Add a layer to your noodles and enjoy!

Snow Days!

 
If it's going to be cold, it might as well snow.
Especially when your better half works in education and still gets adult snow days. ;)
