Hope everyone had a spectacular and safe New Year and we hope the New Year brings you new flavors!
We don't have much left in our fridge and cupboards but somehow we managed to scrounge enough to make this Chicken Chow Mein.
Ingredients:
1 Package of Chow Mein Noodles
1/4 Cup of Oyster Sauce
2 Tbsp of Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp Sesame Oil
8 Oz of Boneless, Skinless, Chicken Breasts or Thighs
2 Tbsp of Vegetable Oil
1 Onion, sliced
2 Cloves of Garlic, minced
2 Tsp of grated Gingerroot
4 Cups of Chopped Broccoli
1 Pepper of choice (we used orange for colour), cut in matchstick size strips
2 stalks of celery
In a large saucepan, boil your chow mein noodles until they are tender. They only take about 2 minutes to cook. Drain them and rinse them in cold water. Set them aside.
In a medium sized bowl, mix together oyster sauce, soy sauce and sesame oil. Slice your chicken up and add that to the mixture and toss around to get them coated.
Take your trusty wok and add vegetable oil over high heat. Add the chicken and keep stirring for about 2 minutes. (AKA, STIR FRY. Keep stirring. I just learned why it's called stir fry.) Set aside on a plate.
Add more oil to the wok on medium. Add Ginger, Onion and Garlic. Stir-fry for two minutes. Add Broccoli, Peppers, Celery and some water or White Wine. Cover and let steam for 3 minutes. Add the noodles and the chicken and combine.
Serve.
Enjoy!
*We got our Wok at Ikea. They don't have the same one we got last winter but the equivalent is super nice for the amount of times we use it (ie: never)

What did we listen to? We were mixing flavors today! We went for an Indian and Bollywood Radio station called Radio TeenTall So great! We were dancing all around the kitchen.
