Vegetable Lo Mein

Vegetable Lo Mein

by Pam on October 31, 2012

I found this recipe on MyRecipes[1] and thought it would pair perfectly with the Orange-Ginger Shrimp Skewers[2] and the Garlicky Green Beans[3].  It was easy to make and a great way to use up the extra veggies I had in the refrigerator.  I used whole wheat spaghetti instead of Chinese egg noodles so this dish would be a bit healthier and I really loved the nutty flavor the noodles gave to the dish.  My children, on the other hand, said they liked the dish but they didn’t like the noodles as much as the noodles their favorite Chinese restaurant used.  I told them that they were MUCH healthier than the other noodles but they didn’t seem to care about the health benefits – weird.  Anyway, I loved this side dish and thought it went really well with the rest of the meal.

Cook noodles in salted water per instructions.  Drain and mix with the sesame oil.  Combine the hoisin and soy sauce together in a small bowl then set aside.

Heat 1/2 tbsp into a large skillet over medium high heat.  Add the mushrooms, carrot, bell pepper, red onion, and green onion, and cook, stirring often, until softened, about 2-4 minutes.  Add the ginger and garlic and cook, stirring constantly, for 1 minute.  Remove from the skillet into a bowl and set aside.

Add the other 1/2 tablespoon of canola oil to the skillet and add the noodles.  Cook, stirring often, for 3-5 minutes or until light brown.  Pour the hoisin  mixture onto the noodles followed by the veggies, sprouts, and half  of the cilantro.  Stir until evenly coated and well combined.  Pour into the serving dish and sprinkle with the remaining cilantro.  Serve immediately.  Enjoy.

Sesame Shrimp

Sesame Shrimp

by Pam on October 7, 2013

I wanted to make something quick and easy using ingredients I had on hand for dinner. I found a recipe at Taste of Home[1] that sounded perfect. I adapted the recipe a little bit by adding less sesame oil and fresh garlic. I was going to marinate the shrimp for 30 minutes but time got away from me and they marinated closer to 60 minutes. Unfortunately, that made the shrimp a touch salty, so next time I will only marinade for 20-30 minutes. Thankfully, the rice mellowed out the salty flavor and made this sesame shrimp great. I loved how simple this recipe was to make – perfect for a busy weeknight meal!

Combine the soy sauce, sesame oil, lemon juice, and garlic together in a large zip lock bag. Seal and shake to mix the marinade well. Add shrimp to the marinade then toss to coat evenly. Seal and place into the refrigerator for 20-30 minutes.

Heat the  vegetable oil in a large skillet. Add the shrimp and a few spoonfuls of the marinade then cook until the shrimp turn pink, about 2-3 minutes. Serve on top of  rice. Garnish with sesame seeds and green onion. Enjoy.

Soy-Sesame Vegetable Sauté

Soy-Sesame Vegetable Sauté

by Pam on June 4, 2013

I wanted to make a vegetable sauté to go with the fried rice I was making for dinner. I grabbed some broccoli, baby zucchini and bell pepper, sugar snap peas, and carrots along with some garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil. I did a quick steam of the broccoli to make it just tender then sauteed the remaining veggies before adding garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil right before serving. The veggies turned out delicious and paired perfectly with the fried rice. Quick, simple, and healthy – I love recipes like that!\

Place the broccoli florets in a steamer tray that you have placed in a pot of boiling water. Once the water is boiling, place a lid on the pot and steam for 2-3 minutes or until broccoli is just tender. Remove from the pot of water and steamer immediately. Set aside.

While the broccoli is steaming, heat the canola oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion, carrot, and bell pepper to the skillet. Cook, stirring often, for 4 minutes. Add the zucchini, sugar snap peas, and broccoli to the skillet. Add the minced garlic, soy sauce, and sesame oil then cook for 1 minute, stirring constantly. Remove from the heat and season with sea salt and freshly cracked pepper, to taste. Serve immediately. Enjoy.
