Asian Chicken Lettuce Wrap

By Peggy

This recipe got a lot of positive comments at our Stake R.S. conference that I helped with today.

Asian Chicken Lettuce Wraps

Sauce:

1/3 c. hot water
2 Tbsp. peanut butter
1/3 c. soy sauce
1/3 c. brown sugar
1 clove garlic, minced
1 Tbsp. sesame oil
1 Tbsp. sesame seeds
3 dashes of hot sauce (I did not use this)
1 tsp. ginger root, freshly grated
1 tsp. lime juice
1/4 tsp. lime zest


2 Tbsp. green onion, thinly sliced
3 c. chicken or turkey, cooked and chopped into small pieces
3-4 c. peanut oil (for deep - frying rice noodles) ***
1 pkg. chinese straw rice noodles ****
2 heads iceberg lettuce, core removed, leaves washed and separated, or bib or butter lettuce leaves
carrots, grated
sprouts
cucumber, chopped
1/3 c. peanuts chopped

Combine hot water and peanut butter until smooth. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, garlic, sesame oil, sesame seeds, hot sauce, ginger, lime juice, lime zest, and green onion,. Add half of the sauce to the chicken or turkey; set the rest of the sauce aside to drizzle on the wraps. Refrigerate. In a small, deep saucepan, heat oil very hot. Put a small handful of rice noodles into the oil, they will puff right up. Remove from oil and drain on paper towel. Only use about 1/4 to 1/2 of the package of noodles, since they really expand. 

To assemble the wraps: Fill a lettuce leaf with about 2 Tbsp. chicken mixture; add straw noodles, carrots, sprouts and cucumbers. Drizzle a little sauce and sprinkle some chopped peanuts on top. Roll up to eat. 
I used pre made rice noodles from Grocery store.

Pasta Carbonara

By
"Hmmm, two pasta recipes in a row?" you say.  You must say that because you haven't been following every post and don't already know from the previous post that I accidentally-on-purpose bought too much tortellini at the store.  While Carbonara is most often made with long, slender pasta like spaghetti, linguine, fettucine, etc.....well, I had to do something  with that tortellini!  I therefore give you use #2 for cheese tortellini you need to use up--Carbonara. Now don't get too wigged out by the fact that the sauce in this recipe is made from eggs that will  appear to not be cooked.  We don't judge based on looks around here, so I'll thank you to conform to that while using this recipe.  The eggs are tempered , which essentially means that they are not raw, but sorta look that way still.  I promise it is delicious.  But if you need the reassurance, mentally, that you aren't eating raw eggs, I give you my solemn assurance.  Now you ma...

Chocolate Chip Cookies

By
You know that elusive, best-ever, chocolate chip cookie recipe?  Yeah I don't know where that is because everyone has a different idea of what the best cookie is.  And that's okay!  Variety is the spice of life.  If you don't love what I love, that's fine! I'll judge and think you're crazy, but we will both survive.  You'll go on loving gross cookies, and I'll go on loving the good stuff.  And we will both, somehow, be happy with that.  If you ever want to try the good stuff, it'll be right here for you.  And so will I.  Maybe.  I'm not as forgiving as these best-ever chocolate chip cookies....
