Tonight's new recipe was supposed to be Ginger Chicken Stir-fry. But I never took my shopping list to the store when I went this week. So I have no cabbage. Or zucchini. Or celery. Or cashews.
So while that recipe goes to the back of the pile I found an oldie but goodie. This recipe was in an ad for Kikkoman Soy Sauce and was a tie-in for one of the Disney movies. I think it's so old it might even be from Hercules. That old.
While it isn't necessarily new to us, it may be to you. It also uses mostly ingredients you'll find in your pantry so you won't be running out to buy a head of cabbage in the middle of 32-below-zero temperatures.
INGREDIENTS
3 Boneless, Skinless Chicken Breasts
1 Tbsp. plus 4 teaspoons cornstarch, divided
1 small onion, sliced
2 cloves garlic, minced
3 Tbsp. vegetable oil
1 pkg. (16 oz.) frozen vegetable medley (or a mix of any fresh veggies you have on hand- for us it's cauliflower, peppers & carrots tonight)
1/4 cup plus 2 Tbsp. Kikkoman Soy Sauce
8 oz. vermicelli, cooked
- Cut chicken into thin strips; coat with 1 Tbsp. cornstarch.
- Stir-fry with onion and garlic in hot oil 3 minutes. Add frozen vegetables; stir-fry 2 to 3 minutes until heated.
- Combine 2/3 cup water, soy sauce and 4 teaspoons cornstarch; stir into chicken mixture. Cook, stirring, until sauce boils and thickens.
- Add vermicelli; toss to combine.
VERDICT
Nothing special- but quick and easy. And the kids not only ate their bowls clean but asked for seconds!!!!
