Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 oz. boneless skinless chicken thighs ((225g, cut into thin strips))
2 teaspoons cornstarch
2 teaspoons water
2 teaspoons oil ((plus more for cooking))
1 clove garlic ((minced))
4 cups cabbage ((shredded))
2 medium carrots ((julienned))
1 tablespoon shaoxing wine
16 oz. fresh lo mein egg noodles
1 tablespoon soy sauce
4 teaspoons dark soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/8 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon sugar
2 cups mung bean sprouts
2 scallions ((julienned))

Steps:

  • In a medium bowl, combine the chicken with 2 teaspoons each of cornstarch, water, and oil. In a wok over high heat, add 2 tablespoons oil, and sear the chicken for a couple minutes until browned. Remove from the wok, and set aside.
  • Add another couple tablespoons of oil to the wok, and add the garlic. After 10 seconds, add the cabbage and carrots. Stir-fry on high heat for a minute and add the wine in a circle around the perimeter of the wok.

ONE RECIPE, TWO MEALS: CRISPY BAKED CHICKEN



One Recipe, Two Meals: Crispy Baked Chicken image

Since the coating is the exact same for all the chicken, it's a definite timesaver on a weeknight. Holla. You'll serve the nuggets with some ketchup and steamed broccoli for the kids. And then you'll just drape your chicken over some super-quick lemony linguine for you. And all is right in the world.

Time 1h10m

Yield 4 servings (2 kids, 2 adults)

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 cup all-purpose flour
2 cups panko
1 tablespoon Italian seasoning
1/3 cup plus 1/4 cup freshly grated Parmesan, plus extra for serving
Salt
2 eggs
2 pounds chicken breast, 1 pound cut into 1-inch cubes and the other pound cut in half lengthwise and pounded out thinly
1 cup broccoli, boiled or steamed
Ketchup, for serving
1/2 pound linguine
2 tablespoons butter
Chopped fresh parsley, for garnish
1 lemon, cut in half

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 375 degrees F. Place the flour in a shallow dish. In another shallow dish, combine the panko, Italian seasoning, 1/3 cup Parmesan and a pinch of salt. In one more shallow dish, beat the eggs.
  • Set a shallow cooling rack in a baking sheet. Take each cube of chicken and lightly dredge it in the flour. Dip it in the egg wash, then roll it in the panko. Continue until all of the chicken cubes are coated in panko. Arrange on the cooling rack set in the baking sheet and bake, flipping halfway through, until golden brown on all sides, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Serve these baked nuggets with a side of steamed broccoli and a little bit of ketchup for dipping! Your kids will freak out.
  • Now for your mature palate: Proceed with the pounded chicken, in the same fashion as the nuggets. First the flour, then the egg, then a good coating of the panko. Arrange the chicken on the rack on the baking sheet and bake until golden brown on both sides, 15 to 20 minutes.
  • Meanwhile, cook the linguine in a pot of salted water until it is al dente and drain, reserving about 1/4 cup of pasta water. Transfer the pasta back to the pot. Add the butter, parsley, juice from half the lemon, the reserved pasta water and the remaining 1/4 cup Parmesan and give it all a good toss.
  • To dress it up a tad more, slice the remaining half lemon, then sear a few lemon slices in a small saute pan-so fancy.
  • Serve the baked chicken over the pasta and serve with extra Parmesan!

LO MEIN NOODLES



Lo Mein Noodles image

I love this dish, it's deceptively simple. If you have all the ingredients you can have a plate of delicious noodles on the table within 15 to 20 minutes with prep included. There really isn't such thing as a "Lo Mein" noodle so don't try to find it on the shelf. You want to buy an egg noodle or pasta that's relatively thin and has some tooth. Some common names will be Lo Mein, Chow Mein, egg noodles, or pancit noodles. Most markets have Japanese Yaki Soba noodles in the cold case and those would work perfectly. Cooking spaghetti or fettuccine al dente, cold water rinsing, then allowing to dry in a colander will also make a great lo Mein. The traditional difference between Lo Mein and Chow Mein is Lo Mein is a soft noodle with some gravy and chow Mein is a crispy fried noodle tossed with or smothered in sauce. This has become very convoluted and over the 200 years Chinese food has existed in America and with regional evolutions. Another tip: Although sesame oil is a fat and you would assume it should be used to start the stir-fry, I want you to treat it like a sauce. Sesame oil has incredible aroma and flavor but burns at a low temp. Add it to a sauce instead and use a high temp oil like canola or peanut for cooking.

1/4 cup (60 ml) chicken stock
3 tablespoons (45 ml) oyster sauce
1 tablespoon (15 ml) soy sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 teaspoon sesame oil
3 tablespoons (45 ml) vegetable oil
4 teaspoons ginger, thin julienne
2 teaspoons (10 g) garlic, minced

3 scallions, cut into 1/2-inch bias pieces

Steps:

  • For the sauce: Stir together the chicken stock, oyster sauce, soy sauce, cornstarch and sesame oil. Set aside.
  • For the noodles: Heat a pan to high and add the oil. Once you see wisps of white smoke, add the ginger and garlic and cook until light brown and fragrant, about 20 seconds. Stir in the chicken and cook until medium, about 1 minute.
  • Add the noodles, carrots and bok choy to the pan and cook until tender, about 1 minute.
  • Stir the sauce, pour into the pan and incorporate all ingredients well.
