Happy New Year!I was out of town for Christmas and New Year's eve and had a great time vacationing with family!Hope you all had a great time as well.The amount of food we eat during the holidays is just unbelievable!The midriff keeps expanding and when its all over, that's when you start thinking of how to get rid of those extra pounds or kilos that you've gained during this period.Time to start eating healthy and time to start exercising, getting back into shape.
Kicking off 2012, I have a great recipe, quite healthy and delicious, quick and easy at the same time!My family loves Chinese food and since I haven't added any Chinese recipes here yet, I thought now would be a good time to do so.This recipe is inspired by the numerous noodle dishes from the Chinese restaurants in China Town in London's West End that we frequented on a regular basis.
I use Yellow Peppers, Baby Bella or portobella mushrooms and boneless chicken thighs.The use of Oyster Sauce and Soy Sauce is very common in Chinese dishes and they impart the savory flavor to the dish.You can make it spicy or non-spicy according to your preference.

Yes, yes and more yes to this noodles dish Soni, how not too because as Malaysians we eat noodles after of course our nasi or rice.
ReplyDeleteGlad that you had a great holiday. For me, I normally do my holiday by 1st week of Dec, simply because its like a mad house every way you go with everyone out there for their holidays too. I had a quite at home holiday and this is sometimes heaven too, catching up with a movie with a glass of wine with hubby.
DELICIOUS!!! I'm making a similar stir fry tonight...chicken, veggies, oyster sauce and soy as well. Happy New Year!
