Next, cut the zucchini and yellow squash into noodles (long, thin strips). Delicious yellow squash noodles! Next, dice up a couple red bell peppers and saute over medium high heat.

Garlic Fried Rice
November 23, 2010 Garlic Fried Rice What did you do with your leftover rice? Fried rice with eggs and chicken bits and soy sauce? Well, I got bored. All you need is day old rice, garlic, scallion and a bit of salt and pepper. The secret of a plate of really good fried rice lies in the wok. Toss in chopped garlic, again, one garlic clove for 100g rice. Add the rice and keep on stirring. Finally, add chopped spring onions, soy sauce, salt and pepper. Serve with Chinese sausage or other sweet-cured meat. Garlic Fried Rice Ingredients:1-1/2 tbsp cooking oil 3 garlic cloves, minced 300 g cooked rice, cold 1 stalk spring onion, chopped finely 1/4 tsp salt 1/2 tsp soy sauceDirections:Heat oil in a wok over high heat.
Gourmet Ramen
SLIDESHOW: Ramen Hacks: 30+ Easy Ways to Upgrade Your Instant Noodles [Photographs: J. Kenji Lopez-Alt] Ramen in the U.S. has come a long way. Once known only in its 10-for-a-dollar instant-lunch form—a staple of offices and dorm rooms all around the '80s and '90s—high-end real ramen shops are springing up left and right on both coasts and everywhere in between. That said, my tastes have changed and expanded considerably over the years, and sometimes that little flavoring packet just isn't enough. As a card-carrying member of the Ramen Transmogrification Society of Greater New York,* it is my duty, my honor, and my privilege to share with you some of our methods and recipes. For full, step-by-step instructions on any of these dishes, please click through the slideshow above. * Our membership is pretty thin right now—care to join? Simple Add-ins Mix-ins.

Caramelized Chicken with Jalapeno Cream
Want to know how to make one heck of a delicious chicken dish? Good. Because I was going to tell you anyway. First up. Chop up some jalapenos and other good stuff. Caramelize some chicken. Then that whole jalapeno saute thing? Dump that sauce all over the CARAMELIZED chicken. Mmmm. Comfort food at it’s finest! Isn’t that what life is all about? And don’t worry about this meal being super spicy because frankly – it’s not. Caramelized Chicken with Jalapeno Cream serves 4 4 boneless, skinless chicken breasts 1 teaspoon salt 1 teaspoon pepper 2 tablespoons canola oil 2 jalapenos, seeded and chopped 1 shallot, sliced 2 garlic cloves, minced 2 tablespoons butter 1 tablespoon flour (any kind will do, I used whole wheat) 1/4 cup low-fat or skim milk 1 12-ounce can fat-free evaporated milk 2 tablespoons finely grated parmesan cheese Add chopped jalapenos, shallots and garlic to a food processor and pulse until very finely chopped (not pureed).
Panko Mozzarella Sticks!
I first discovered panko bread crumbs back in 1999. Please don’t ask me how I know that; I just do. I remember vividly reading a recipe that contained panko bread crumbs, and I remember vividly that I was nursing my second baby, and I remember vividly that I was hormonal and desperate, and the next thing I knew I was ordering panko bread crumbs from some market in Chelsea that the magazine recommended. On the phone, of course, because although I had a computer at the time, I certainly wouldn’t have been cool enough to use it to order panko bread crumbs. Plus, I was nursing. Panko bread crumbs, in a word, are delicious. Panko are Japanese breadcrumbs, and are lighter and flakier than regular breadcrumbs. When I set out to make a recipe with panko bread crumbs, I started in the direction of something Asian/exotic. So guess what I did? Let me back up: my family LOVES fried mozzarella sticks. Here we go: Panko Mozzarella Sticks! Grab the panko breadcrumbs. You’ll need a bowl of flour… Oh!
Poor Girl Eats Well: Recipe: Hearty Mushroom &Potato Soup - StumbleUpon
If you’re following me on Facebook and Twitter you know that I’m sick with the flu right now. Fortunately it’s not as serious as H1N1, but it is the flu and I do feel terrible. The crazy typhoon-driven storm we’ve been dealing with since last night hasn’t helped much to help me feel better either. To combat the cabin fever that has set in after being cooped up in my apartment since Friday after work, and, frankly, to change things up from the usual canned chicken noodle or even my Sick Person Soup, I thought I’d make something different. This soup is hearty enough to fall into the stew category, so it’s definitely nice and filling. Besides that there’s not too much to note on this one! Yet another example of why you should never understimate the power of soup. Hearty Mushroom & Potato Soup (serves 4; total cost per serving: $1.60) Spoon generous amounts of the soup into large bowls.
