After walking past the oh-so-enticing Asian market so many times, I decided to go in a few days ago. ...until I remembered that our stroller doesn't fit through the door and thats why I don't go in. Knowing full well that Sweet Pea is far to young to conquer the English streets all on her own, I strategically decided to push the buggy really hard through the door jam. Well, after turning and lifting the stroller all caddy-wampus (that was for you AB) we made it in. We still had the issue of meandering around huge bags of rice stacked on the floor but they directed me towards the back to the noodles. Oooooo...noodles. So that's what I got. What to do with the noodles? This recipe is my answer. It was well worth the endeavor (but I think I'll have Cheap go in next time).

This recipe serves 2, so you'll probably have to double it. If you have a large wok, even better. My little cast iron skillet gets quite jammed with this amount, so there's no way I can double it as of now.

Ingredients:
4 oz Chinese egg noodles, boiled in salt water
1 chicken breast, cooked and sliced (or raw and you can cook it with the veggies)
1 red pepper, sliced or 1/2 cup frozen pepper medley
1 small onion, diced
1/4 cup frozen chopped spinach
2 cloves garlic, finely diced
handful mushrooms (4 or 5), quartered
Sauce:
2 Tbs dark soy sauce
2 Tbs water (if using dark soy, if not just use more soy)
2 Tbs honey
1 teaspoon vinegar
1/2 teaspoon sesame oil (optional, I just had it on hand anyway)
1/4 teaspoon ginger
1/8 teaspoon cinnamon
pinch cloves
pinch cayenne

Peanuts or cashews for topping

Directions:
Pour round of regular oil in a hot skillet or wok and add onions (if using raw chicken, add chicken first and cook until almost done). Once onions are slightly translucent, add the rest of the veggies

While veggies are cooking, make the sauce and mix all the ingredients together.

Once veggies are pretty much cooked to likeness add the cooked chicken, cooked noodles and sauce. Mix together well and let simmer for a couple of minutes.

Plate up and top with peanuts/cashews. We so wanted chop-sticks with this, but alas, only had skewers...not the same. Maybe that's something else I should have bought...
