Cooking

Well did ya all wonder if I fell off the face of the Earth? No, just been busy.

I thought I would put up a recipe I made today for our supper. It is Chow Mein. Now when looking for recipes I learned that Chow Mein actually means noodles. So what I made is actually a Chicken Chow Mein.
2 large Chicken breast cut into 1" cubes. Add to this 1 T soy sauce. I use one I get at a Asian food store, it is a brewed one. 2 t cornstarch. Mix well and set aside.



Next slice thinly the following:
2 carrots
5 to 6 stocks celery
1 large onion (I cut in half and then slice)
3 c cabbage (napa or green)

Add to a wok or a frying pan 2 T coconut oil (or what ever oil) and stir fry the veggies till nice and tender crisp. Remove veggies and set aside. Now add a couple more tablespoons of oil and the meat. Fry till near done. Add veggies to the meat. Finish cooking the meat.

Now add: 2 large dried black mushrooms that have been ground to a powder in a coffee grinder or blender, 3 c water, 3 t bullion or 3 bullion cubes, 3 T soy sauce, 1 T molasses, 1 t garlic powder, 1 t ground ginger or 1 T fresh ginger root, 5 t cider vinegar, 1/4 t chili pepper flakes and mix well. Simmer for 10 minutes. Lastly use 1/2 c cold water and 3 T corn starch to thicken. Add to the crock pot and heat on high for an hour. Turn to warm till serving time.

Serve this over rice, or your favorite type of Asian noodles.
