So my husband loves Asian dishes, however I feel like I have no clue how to make any good, quick and easy ones. Because let's face it, after a long day I really do not like to make food that involves too many ingredients I am not familiar with. With that being said I thought I would surprise Josh with a new Asian dish one night this week. Being that we are on a pretty tight budget I took to Pintrest (like I do often) to find a easy recipe with simple ingredients.
Here we go! I found a great recipe (listed below) and headed to the store. I was able to purchase all the ingredients listed below from Walmart for $10 (already had the soy sauce and spices on hand). Last night was my first try with the recipe.
Here are my thoughts and added tips:
- It was so easy to make!
- Tip number one would be to add a small amount of the angel hair noddles at a time to chicken/broccoli/sauce. I was not thinking and added all the noodles at one time.
- We felt like it was missing something--- so next time I will add PINEAPPLE and CILANTRO
- Last little thing to mention is that it is super yummy the next day too! We love leftovers and enjoyable ones are an added bonus.
The recipe is listed below. I hope those that try this dish enjoy. I would also love to hear your thoughts, dislikes, etc.
Until next time!!
