Decided to try something new tonight. Still Asian inspired (it is Tuesday after all) but I thought I'd pull something completely out of my butt. I made it with tofu since we've decided to do a meat free dish a week but you could def use chicken.
Spicy Orange & Peanut Chow Mien
serves 4
1 package chow mien noodles (found in the Asian section of your store)
1/2 cup diced firm tofu
1 bag of stir fry veggie mix (or 2 cups of your fave stir fry veggies)
1/2 cup sliced mushrooms
1 cup orange juice
1/4 cup smooth peanut butter
1 tsp (or more if you like extra spice) chili garlic hot sauce (also found in Asian section)
1 tbs soy sauce
2 tsp Chinese 5 spice
2 tbs chopped cilantro
2 tbs ginger
pinch of kosher salt
1/4 cup chopped scallion greens
Follow directions on the chow mien noodles package and after they're cooked set them aside. Heat a large skillet or wok to med/high heat and spray with non stick cooking spray. Add tofu, veggies and mushrooms. While that's cooking put next 8 ingredients in small food processor or blender. Blend until smooth. Add sauce to the veggies and saute until veggies are to your preferred way (either still a bit crunchy or soft). Right before serving toss the noodles with the stir fry, sprinkle the chopped scallions and serve ASAP
