Cooking Attempto! Teriyaki Chicken Stir-fry

Sunday, November 9th, 2008

Tonight will be going with the following ingredients…

  • Diced Chicken
  • Mushrooms
  • Lemongrass
  • Teriyaki Sauce
  • Broccolli
  • Onion
  • Capsicum
  • Bokchoi!
  • Some seasoning

We’ll see how it turns out!

And we’re back!

The method was pretty simple:

  • Boil the noodles
  • Fry the chicken with oil
  • Add the onion
  • Add capsicum, bokchoi and mushrooms
  • Add teriyaki sauce and random spices!

And the results!

This part was great. The lack of bench space required me to improvise somewhere for cooking the noodles. Kettle + Sink = brilliant!

Fin!

Cooking Attempto! Tuna Pasta

Tuesday, September 16th, 2008

I googled for a tuna pasta recipe on the train home tonight and then headed straight to the shops. The recipe was along the lines of:

  • Pasta
  • Tuna
  • Garlic
  • Onion
  • Capers
  • Cream
  • Sundried Tomatoes
  • Tomato Paste

From the above I devised my own version as:

  • Pasta
  • Tuna
  • Mushrooms
  • Onion
  • Feta Cheese
  • Sundried Tomatoes
  • Olives
  • Tomato Paste
  • Garlic

I nearly went insane (really!) and added asparagus. Perhaps next time I’ll add that and see the results.

Anyway, I got organic Feta and Greenseas tuna, they looked like this:

The pasta I used was Fettucini:

By the end I had a strange tuna, feta, mushroom dressing to put over the pasta:

Overall I think it went well. I need to practice with pasta though, I definitely cooked too much and didn’t stir it often enough. I also let the onion burn instead of softening but I’ll work on this from now on.
