Stir Fried Chicken with Mushroom and Soybean Stick

Another quick stir fry for a lazy night....
Did a quick check in the kitchen to see what I had handy.
Opened the fridge: cooked chicken breast in the pantry: dried shiitake mushroom and soybean sticks
hmmm......got it!
Decided to do a stir fry with famous-never fail oyster sauce and tons of garlic.
We were also fighting a cold so I made sure the garlic was not cooked all the way ( natural antibiotic)
The semi cooked garlic along with the oyster sauce gave the mushrooms a slightly buttery chewy texture which I like. The result was perfect, a savory side dish good with salad, rice or congee.

Ingredients:
  • chicken - cooked + shredded
  • dried shiitake mushroom - soak in warm water until soft- thinly sliced
  • dried bean curd stick- soak in warm water until soft - cut into half inch size
  • oil
  • oyster sauce
  • head of garlic - minced
  • white pepper
  • cilantro
Heat pan with oil, add half of the minced garlic, mushroom, cook for a minute then
add bean curd sticks and chicken, give it quick stir and toss
add the rest of the garlic and oyster sauce, give it quick stir and toss again make sure it all mixed well.
Done!
Great with fresh cilantro!

Sunday Brunch-King Crab Corn Salad

I wanted to make something yummy this morning for Adam. Also to show off my creative abilities with leftovers. My sisters can also attest to the fact that I do not let anything go to waste. It kills me to throw food away! So I conjured up the following:


An over easy egg over a toasted english muffin topped with king crab corn salad drizzled with truffle oil!
King Crab Corn Salad
2 very big king crab legs -or whatever you didn't finish from the night before :)
4 cups of corn
1/4 cup of toasted chopped walnuts
1/4 cup feta cheese
1 whole jalepeno pepper minced
extra virgin olive oil
Salt and pepper

Combine all the above.

Over easy eggs:
2 large organic eggs- make sure the pan is hot enough to get it perfect

English muffin:
1 whole grain muffin -toast it well so it can hold up all the goodies

Drizzle some truffle oil on top. Voila!

Don't forget the champagne!
