Chicken satay salad

Another real crowd-pleaser at the moment. We did this recipe 5 times in the last month. It is soooooooooooo good! The original is here . Quantities are for 4 people. Cut 350 g of chicken breast in thin slices. Here you want to take the time to make thin slice so it will be crispy and wonderful while cooking. Stripes are also ok, but then you won't have the perfect texture. Mix the chicken with pepper, 1.5 teaspoon of curry powder and 2 teaspoons of soy sauce . Put aside while preparing the rest. Prepare the dressing by mixing: ¼ cup peanut butter (smooth or not) 1 garlic clove, minced 1 tbsp sesame oil 2 tbsp soy sauce 2 tsp brown sugar 1½ tbsp sriracha (I put some smoky tabasco) 2 tbsp lime juice 6 tbsp coconut milk 2 tbsp water (adjust so the consistency is right, it will depend if you are using natural peanut butter or not) ¼ tsp salt In the original recipe, the salad is made up from 4 cups of mixed cabbage, shredded and 2 carrots, finely chopped . However,...

Great Chicken and Cashew Sauté

We looooove sautés. This one is no exception. It comes from a french Canadian magazine, published several years ago, but it is still as good. Here, I doubled the quantity of sauce as we looooove the sauce and increased the cashew content. Serves 4 people. Prepare the sauce by mixing 75 ml of soya sauce (low sodium, if possible), 2 tablespoons of sugar , 2 tablespoons of water , 2 teaspoons of sesame oil and a splash of Tabasco . Add 40ml of cornstarch and mix well. In a wok or a big pan, heat up a tablespoon of oil on high heat and add 500gr of chicken breast (without bones and skin) cut in cubes (bite size) . Cook until golden and put aside. Add another tablespoon of oil and quickly fry one cup of sugar snap peas (could be also any other peas or even broccoli), one sliced big red (or any other color) bell pepper , half a cup of cashews , one clove of garlic and one thinly sliced piece of ginger the size of a thumb (skin removed). Fry for 3-4 minutes, then add back t...

The first of many great asiatic inspired meal: chow mein

I love, love, love asiatic inspired meals. They are easy to prepare, easy to modify, loaded with vegetables and flavour they are awesome! This recipe is adapted from one recipe I found on the "SOSCuisine" website . For 4 people, heat 2 tablespoons of canola oil and a splash of sesame oil in a pan on medium-high heat. Add 400g of chicken (or tofu) and fry 5-6 minutes or until golden. Add 2-3 cloves of garlic , finely chopped and chopped vegetables . Here, you do what you want! I like: brocoli cut in small pieces, sliced pepper, zucchini, carrot, sweet peas, bean sprouts... If using vegetables with widely different cooking time, adjust the moment you are adding them to prevent over cooking*. Keep the heat high-ish so the vegetables will be fried and not poached. When they are al dente (after 5-7 minutes), add 2-3 green onions, finely chopped. While the vegetables are frying, prepare 250g of Chinese egg-noodles (or rice) according to the instructions on the package: do...
