Its only 8:30 am here and already my plans for Chicken Stir Fry have been squashed! This is one of DH's favorites but everytime I plan to make it something changes! He just texted me and said that a friend of his is stopping by, but had dinner plans so he won't be eating with us ...but he'll be here just about when DH gets home from work leaving probably around 7:30 - very inconvenient - so DH suggests we "fend for ourselves" so that we don't have to worry about timing.
My cooking for today will be making egg salad for tomorrows lunch.
Well ,everyone around here has been bugging me to make my special Green Thai curry lately so this afternoon I did. It's really quite an easy dish to make just a lot of cutting. 4 onions, 2 greenpeppers, 1 red pepper. 2 jalapino peppers, 2 zuchinni, A few bunches baby bok choi, 1 pound bean sprouts, 10 garlic cloves, 5 tablespoons chopped ginger. 2 TBs fish sauce, 3TBs green curry paste, 2 pounds of boneless chicken, 1 pound of cleaned shrimp, 2 cans coconut milk, 2 cans water, and a pile of jasmine rice to serve it over. I just lightly stir fry all the vegetables in a wok. {Very lightly}. I include the garlic and the ginger in that. Set that aside and stirfry up the chicken and then the shrimp in the chicken drippings, Meanwhile in another wok I put all the coconut milk, water, fish sauce and curry paste and slowly bring to a boil stirring the paste in until all dissolved. I also have my rice going by this time. Remember with jasime rice use 1.5 to 1 water to rice if you like your rice fluffy or 1.75 to 1 if you like it a bit sticky. When everything in the woks are done I combine them and serve over the rice with Asian Basil and cilantro on the side to sprinkle on.
I have eaten in many Thai places and I have never yet has a dish that's as good as this one. That's about 20 servings and I sometimes freeze about half for weeks down the road. Sometimes it's all eaten before I get a chance to freeze it. When I still had kids at home their friends would somehow know I was making that dish and they would all come around for some. It's just awesome and right now I'm totally stuffed.
I'm definitely saving this recipe. I'll try the food processor to help w/chopping. I'm trying it within the next week.
I did make this Deep South Dish: Featured Reader Recipe - Braun Bon Brown Good Smothered Potatoes
last night with a few modifications. I added some coarsely chopped onion and bell pepper, leftover broiled chicken breast chopped, some shredded cheddar in the middle and on top layer. Also placed in a large pyrex and baked in the oven. DH loved it and took the leftovers to work for himself and a co-worker! No leftovers for tonight now! I've got to think of something to make for tonight.
Got a pot of gravy (sauce) cooking with some hot italian sausage that will be served with some ziti and a salad. Would of made garlic bread but we have been eating way too much bread lately so will just skip it.
