Quick Asian Creation

What do you do when it is lunch time, but you are not quite sure what to make? This is when I dig into the pantry and fridge to see what is in there.

In my case, I do meal plan and prep each week, so I do have some things waiting in the fridge. I just do not always know what I will do with them at the time. This particular week, I prepared marinated sesame chicken, salmon, tilapia, and a big giant salad made with fresh veggies from the garden.

For my lunch, I heated up some of the sesame chicken and added it to the salad, drizzling some of the juices from the chicken and added a little Himalayan pink salt to enhance the flavor of the garden fresh veggies. It’s that simple.

For my hubby, his lunch was a little more involved, but took less than 10 minutes to make. I dug into the pantry to find rice noodles, and from the fridge and freezer, I gather some fun ingredients to create a quick Asian noodle dish.

Directions

• Start cooking the rice noodles according to package directions, but before adding in the noodles, add salt, pepper, and poke bowl sauce to the water. Once the water is boiling, add in rice noodles.
• Add in peas right away. Since the peas are frozen and fresh from the garden, you want to give the peas time to cook in the liquid.
• About 5 minutes into cooking, add in the egg. You can break the yolk, but do not stir. Let the egg cook into the liquid.
• After another minute, add in the cooked chicken and cook for another minute or two and add parsley.
• To serve, you can strain out the liquid, or you can serve it up as is, liquid and all.
• Also, if you have green onion, it would be great to top off this dish with a couple chopped green onion. Enjoy!
