Chicken, Edamame, and Noodle Stir Fry


Serves 4

coarse salt and ground pepper
8 ounces udon noodles or linguine
2 boneless, skinless chicken breast halves (6 to 8 ounces each), cut crosswise into thin strips
1 tablespoon cornstarch
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 small red onion, halved and thinly sliced
2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1/2 napa cabbage (about 1 pound), thinly shredded
2 cups frozen shelled edamame
(I added shredded carrot.)
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce

Directions

In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook noodles until al dente, according to package instructions. Drain, and rinse under cold water; drain again, and set aside.

While pasta is cooking, in a medium bowl, toss chicken with cornstarch; season with salt and pepper. In a large nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon oil over medium-high. Cook chicken in two batches, until light brown on the outside and opaque throughout, 2 to 4 minutes. Transfer to a plate (reserve skillet).

Add remaining tablespoon oil to skillet; add onion and garlic. Cook, stirring frequently, until softened, 1 to 3 minutes. Add cabbage, and cook, stirring frequently, until tender, 2 to 4 minutes.

Add edamame, vinegar, soy sauce, chicken, and noodles; season with salt and pepper. Cook, tossing, until noodles and edamame are warmed through, 3 to 5 minutes.

This was fast AND delicious! I added some ginger in with the soy sauce, because we like that. :)

Healthy Garden Salad


5T red wine vinegar
3T Olive Oil
2 limes, juiced
3/4 t. salt
1t of sugar(I use honey)
2 cloves of garlic, minced
1 16oz bag of frozen edamame
3 cups of frozen corn
4 green onions, chopped
1 15oz can of black beans
1 pt of grape tomatoes

Combine the first 7 ingredients in a small bowl and mix well. Set aside. Cook soybeans in boiling water for 3 minutes, add frozen corn and boil for another minute. Drain and rinse well. Combine soybeans mixture, dressing, onion, beans and tomatoes in serving bowl. Gently mix and refrigerate for at least 2 hours.

Sometimes I had either kidney beans or garbanzo beans. The recipe also calls for 1/3 cup of fresh cilantro if you like.
