Cabbage, Potatoes and Chicken Medley

Thai Rice Flour - 16 ozThai Rice Flour - 16 oz

Stir fry: Organic Cabbage, potatoes and chicken with rice.

If you are busy and hungry, cabbage is your best bet. Cabbage lasts for a long time too.

  • Cut up the cabbage
  • Slice the potatoes (thin)
  • Cut chicken into strips
  • Fry potatoes, a couple minutes later, add some soy sauce. (I cannot explain why it tastes so good when soy sauce is added before it is fully fried, or cooked. Somehow it tastes different!)
  • Wait till potato is a little brown on the skin.
  • Add chicken (semi-cooked or fried) to the potatoes. Keep cookin. Add a touch of black bean sauce.
  • (Opt.) Mix a shot-glass-full of Thai rice flour (in water) mixture. Add to chicken.
  • When chicken looks ready, add cabbage. Cook until cabbage is cooked. Cabbage may shrink. Add salt and pepper to taste. (Less is more. Start with little.)
  • Ready to eat with rice.

Involves only one pan/wok and a rice cooker.

Orange Chicken and Potatoes

Orange Chicken:
  • When you have time, mix wine, salt, pepper, and anything else you like :) Think of the taste you want your tongue to feel. Let the chicken sit in the marinade in a ziploc bag in the fridge until you are ready (or hungry).
  • Put chicken in a baking dish, pour some (remember, less is more, start with only a little) olive oil, some orange juice. (Orange ginger marinating sauce, optional.) Season with some paprika, more pepper, cilantro, "italian seasoning" etc. and mix. If you have ginger, add a few slices. (I didn't use it at the time because I found mine grew horns. Gasp!) Make sure chicken is covered with seasonings evenly.
  • Push it into the oven, bake at 450F for about 40 minutes, or until chicken is cooked thoroughly. Slice chicken to ensure it is well-cooked inside and out.

Potatoes:
  • Boil water. When water is boiling, put in red potatoes. (Rachel Ray says that red potatoes or Yukon gold is a good choice because they do not require peeling. Score!) Salt the water.
  • Lower the heat and boil for about 10 minutes, depending on how soft you want your potatoes. I'd recommend less than 10 minutes.
  • Take potatoes out of the water and cut into cubes.
  • In a bowl, mix potatoes with spices like cilantro, pepper etc. and some butter. Mix, mix, mix.
  • Ready!

Beer:
  • Take it out of the fridge! Yea, tastes better cold. Surprise.
