Quick Satay Chicken Noodle Stirfry


There are a million and one ways to do satay, it all depends on how you like it! This recipe is a quick satay that doesn't need so many ingredients!

I have another satay recipe for if you have some extra time and want something with really 'WOW' flavours - http://elisethehangrychef.blogspot.com.au/2014/06/chicken-satay-with-rice.html but this recipe is for when you're on the go and need something yummy quick!

You will need... (4 serves)
1 large chicken breast
1/4 small red cabbage
1 carrot
1 large handful of snow peas
1/4 head of broccoli
1/2 red capsicum
200gr soba or udon noodles (I use the organic brand by Hakubaku- check out the website there are some awesome recipes on there!)
1 Tbs peanut oil

For the marinade/sauce
1/4 cup smooth peanut butter (use crunchy if you want)
1 clove garlic, crushed
1/2 tsp fish sauce
1 tsp tamari paste (substitue for 2 tsp of soy sauce if you can't get any)
1 tsp lemon juice
1 tsp honey
1 red chilli, deseeded and finely chopped (keep the seeds if you like it hot)
1/4 cup of water
Aren't those colours a beauty?
Method...
1. Cut up the chicken into strips and combine all the marinade ingredients aside from the water and half of the peanut butter. Rub the marinade into the chicken and set aside while you prepare the noodles and vegetables.
2. Bring a pot of water (unsalted) to the boil and cook your noodles according to the packet instructions. Once cooked al'dente, strain and then run under cold water to stop the cooking process.
3. Wash all the veggies, shred the cabbage, peel and slice the carrot, slice the capsicum and break up the broccoli into small florets. Destring the snow peas and cut them in half/thirds.
3. Heat oil in a wok, and place the chicken on to cook. If the marinade starts to clump from the heat, add a little water to keep it smooth.

4.Once the chicken is cooked through, add the veggies all together along with the remaining peanut butter and water (adjust the amount of water needed to ensure a nice saucy consistency).
You could serve it just like this if you like- or over rice if you prefer!
4. Add the noodles and cook on high until all coated and the veggies are just cooked- keep them a little crunchy! Enjoy!

Drain and set aside. Wash the cauliflower and broccoli and trim into neat florets.  3. Melt the butte...

George Calombaris' Pasticcio (AKA Greek Lasagna)

Image
Ohhh pasticcio... This recipe gives me so many warm and fuzzies. My mum always used to make it for me when I was younger for special occasions like my birthday and Easter so I associate it with fun times and getting presents and all that good stuff. The one my mum made came from the old faithful Margaret Fulton Cookbook circa late sixties/early seventies... I'm not sure what my Italian mum was doing making Greek recipes written by an Australian cookbook guru but anyway... it must have been en-vogue when the book was written and I'm not complaining because it's delicious. Mum's pasticcio was put together 'lasagna-style' with layers of curly-edge lasagna sheets that would get all crispy and brown on the edges. She would layer the pasta sheets with the tomato and beef sauce and béchamel and then bake it, and it would usually take her a while to prepare. My New Favourite Cookbook! I like this recipe by George Calombaris because it still has all that wo...

Anna-Maria's Zucchini Slice

Image
This is Anna-Maria’s Zucchini Slice from Stephanie Alexander’s Cooks Companion …   I’ve tweaked it a little as I’m sure most people do, it’s one of those no-rules recipes where you can customise it as much or as little as you like. I love zucchini because it is such a versatile vegetable (although technically it’s an immature fruit- wiki will tell you it’s a swollen ovary of a zucchini flower… sounds appetising), you can put them in almost anything because they don’t have a very strong flavour, which is great when it comes to hiding veggies from your kids! I’ve even eaten a chocolate cake that had grated zucchini in it and it was one of the best chocolate cakes I’ve ever had- so moist (haha MOIST!) You will need… ¼ cup of olive oil (the recipe says half a cup but you really don’t need that much) 500g zucchini, grated 1 small carrot, grated 1 small onion, finely chopped 1 garlic clove, crushed 200gr smoked bacon, finely chopped 100g freshly grat...
