Here's a simple meal made with shiitake mushrooms, chicken, cashew nuts and an Asian dressing. It's perfect summer evening fare, warm or at room temperature.
Most supermarkets stock toasted sesame oil, which lends a nutty flavor. Steamed Chinese noodles can be found refrigerated in the produce department.
If you would prefer making the dish with ingredients on hand, angel hair pasta can be used in place of Chinese noodles, white vinegar diluted with a little water in place of rice vinegar, regular sesame or canola oil in place of toasted, walnuts in place of cashews and any sliced mushrooms in place of shiitake.
This meal contains 642 calories with 27 percent of calories from fat.
HELPFUL HINTS:
-
Any type of cooked chicken can be used.
-
Minced garlic can be found in jars in the produce section of the market.
- A quick way to slice scallions is to snip them with a scissors
COUNTDOWN:
•
Place water for noodles on to boil.
•
Mix sauce.
•
Boil noodles.
• Make salad.
