It delights me to see so many readers utilizing this site each day. The fact that I can help all those on a limited budget provide wholesome, satisfying food for their families just thrills me! Just knowing that one end of your stress is alleviated every time you click on, keeps me inspired to find new alternatives for you each blog.
I'm going out on a limb with this one. If you want to try this, you'll need to purchase some Chinese products to make this and future recipes available soon. I've been doing this for years, and you can purchase all the products for under $15. But, most importantly, they will last you six months to a year! It is well worth the investment simply due to the fact you can take 1/2 to a whole pound of any meat and feed a large family or have ample leftovers the next day. DO NOT purchase these products from your local supermarket, as the prices are just TOO high. Go to your local Chinese mart and buy them there. That is where you'll find the best deals. Just get on and Google it! No need to worry about special noodles as thin or regular spaghetti does the trick!
Purchases at your local Chinese grocery:
soy a sauce
rice vinegar
Mirin
sesame oil
oyster sauce
Take 1/2 to 1 pound of any meat (beef, pork, chicken)
Mix marinade:
1/2 tab. soy a sauce
1 tsp. Mirin
2 tsp. rice vinegar
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tb. cornstarch
1 tsp. sesame oil
Marinate 15 minutes
Meanwhile in a wok or large fry pan:
2 tab. oil
2 garlic chopped
1 onion
2 tsp. fresh grated ginger (very cheap in the grocery aisle)
1 tsp. salt
1/2 tsp pepper
1 1/2 cup Frozen Seasoning Blend
3 cups broccoli (separate florets a tad)
1 cup sliced carrots
* Feel free to toss in other veggies you may have in your fridge)
Fry all until crisp/tender and remove to bowl.
Fry Meat:
1 tab. oil
meat and marinade
Fry meat with marinade until cooked through, and then place on top of other vegetable mixture.
Boil Noodles:
Boil one pound of any spaghetti noodle until al dente.
Mix Sauce:
2 tab. oyster sauce
1 tab. Mirin
3 tab. soy a sauce
1 cup chicken broth (Use those canned soups and place noodles to the side - fill remaining with water to make one cup)
1 tab. cornstarch
2 tsp. sesame oil
1/2 tsp. sugar
1/2 tsp. pepper
In Wok or frypan:
Place noodles, veggies, and meat. Toss lightly and begin to warm mixture. Toss the remaining sauce on top and stir gently. Taste for improvement. Should you need more "kick" mix the following:
1 tab. soy a sauce
1 tab. Mirin
1 tsp. sesame oil
Stir and toss again. You can repeat this until the desired results appear. You are going to be amazed as to how close this taste to your local Chinese restaurant. In all honesty, mine has more flavor than our local fare!
