19 Sep 2015 Quick Thai

This quick Thai dish is inspired by San Bei Gi
A great way to use up orphaned vegetables and leftover chicken.

Dust 2-3 c cooked, chopped chicken with 1 T cornstarch, let sit.

Sauté very thinly sliced veggies in sesame oil, (you decide) such as:
yellow bell pepper, onion, shredded cabbage, little mushrooms, carrots, green beans etc.
until glistening, do not overcook.

In saucepan over medium heat,  mix
1/3 c rice wine
1/3 c soy sauce
1/3 c sesame oil
3 T sugar
2-3 t crushed garlic
2-3 t crushed ginger
mix well and heat until it starts to bubble.

Then add in the
cornstarch dusted chicken,
combine well and allow sauce to thicken, just couple minutes
Now add the veggies and combine well.
Remove from heat,
Sprinkle with a generous handful of Basil, shredded
and serve over cooked brown rice.

(If you want to serve over glass noodles, you probably need to double the sauce as the noodles will soak it up)

Nicola's Fisk

 Cousins in Sweden served a fish meal that B really liked!  [That is a huge compliment as it's not her favorite protein.]  Nic makes it without a recipe so this is a general guide.  Layer a casserole with a bed of zucchini slices and add a layer cod pieces . Mix chopped flat leaf parsley (handful), softened butter (abt. 2 T), horseradish sauce (abt. 1 T) with a brick (8 oz) of cream cheese.  {It is easier if the ingredients are room temperature} Cover fish with sauce and bake for about 25 minutes at about 325-350 degrees [Swedish measurements are not equivalent]  Thin sauce with milk if needed. Serve with new baby potatoes baked in butter and dill and salt.

01-25 Dad's Quick Italian Meatballs

Mix 1 lb lean ground beef 2 eggs 1 c Italian bread crumbs 1/2 c spaghetti sauce (more or less, see how it looks) The longer you mix/beat them, the more tender they will be Form meatballs and bake at 350F about 12 minutes Use in meal immediately or freeze for later Put in spaghetti or any pasta will work. Meatball sandwiches would be good too!
