7-17-13 BC's Dad Thai & Egg Rolls


BC’s Dad Thai & Egg Rolls  
After a long hiatus (and much goading from Alex!!!!), the blog returns.  I must say I had forgotten how much effort goes into this….hopefully worth it!  Here’s what you need for Dad Thai:
 
 

The stuff:
 
Boneless Chicken Breasts
Fresh squash
Fresh broccoli
Red bell pepper
Dry roasted peanuts (I prefer salted)
Small white onion
Bean sprouts
Yolk-free fine egg noodles
Fat-free Chicken Broth
Reduced sodium soy sauce
Lime juice
Chung’s Gourmet White Meat Chicken Egg Rolls
Ground Cayenne Red Pepper
Black Pepper
 


 

Trim all excess fat from chicken breasts and cube.  Spray Calphalon (the only cookware) wok with Pam and turn on high heat.  Add 1 cup (even 1/3 of lime juice, chicken broth, and soy sauce) to wok and brown the chicken.  Dice the squash, broccoli, onion, and red bell pepper into bite-size chunks while chicken cooks….feed remnants to dogs!!! 

 

 

Throw all of this into to the wok once the chicken is browned (6 – 8 minutes) and stir for 12 -14 minutes according to personal preference on texture.  Season to taste with cayenne red pepper and black pepper (make sure it burns or you’re a wiener).  Add bean sprouts for last 4 minutes of veggie cook time.



 
Bring water to boil in a 5 quart Calphalon sauce pan (I won’t repeat cookware pitch) and add two cups of fine yolk-free egg noodles for 6 minutes and drain.



Add egg noodles to chicken/veggie combo in wok for 2 more minutes stirring a lot and often.  Remove from heat and transfer to large serving bowl.  Sprinkle with chopped peanuts.   Serve with LOTS of Diet Dr Pepper!
Enjoy!!!
