Orange Chicken

Advertisements

Orange chicken is a great use for any oranges you may get. Savory and acidic and full of flavor, this orange sauce is delicious and makes this dish exciting. If you like heat, feel free to add some chilies, red pepper flakes, or hot sauce. But even without added spice, this dish is full of strong Asian spices. I only diced up one chicken breast when I made this recipe, but you can easily coat two breasts with the sauce that is made. The recipe below makes 6 adult servings if you plate more rice than chicken. If you want the opposite, it would only give about 3-4 adult servings.

Slow-Cooker Bean Pasta

Advertisements

This bean pasta is just a slow cooker goulash with extra protein with black beans. This dish can easily be made vegetarian by omitting beef and beef broth, cooking the onion in the slow cooker. If you want, you can also cook the pasta separately, and rinse with cold water before adding it to the slow-cooker. Doing this will give you more control over how the noodles cook, and will prevent the noodles from taking on the flavor of the sauce. Finally, use whatever spices you like. I used the ones listed below, but you can add as much or as little of any spices you like. This recipe makes 8 adult sized servings.

Venison Vegetable Teriyaki

Advertisements

Teriyaki is a great Asian sauce that is both sweet and savory. Like American Barbecue, Asian Teriyaki can either be a wet sauce or a cooking style, and in this case, I made and used the sauce style. I diced up extra vegetables I had, broccoli, cauliflower, carrots, celery, peppers, and onions, to use as my vegetables in this dish. I also sliced venison for my meat, but slicing a steak or two will accomplish the same thing. I served this dish over rice. This recipe made 5-6 adult sized servings.

Teriyaki Pork Butt Steak with Asian Noodles

Advertisements

This teriyaki sauce is absolutely delicious! This sauce is a great mix of sweet and savory, and would go great as a glazing for any fish, chicken, or pork. The pork is delicious and of course the main part of the dish, however, the real star of this dish is the Asian noodles. The noodles are filling, the onion adds a great subtle flavor to the dish, and the cabbage adds great texture, and while the flavor of the pepper is also subtle, the color it brings to the side is delicious! For this recipe, I used the second half of the pork steak I had from yesterday’s post, peanut pork curry. That gave us enough pork for 3 servings, however with how much pasta I made, we had 5 serving total. The pasta was also great on it’s own, and if you were to serve this for a big family, I would recommend cubing the pork, then tossing into the noodles. This recipe can easily make enough to serve 5 adults.

Peanut Pork Butt Steak Curry

Advertisements

This Peanut curry is a nice twist to your classic curry. The peanuts perfectly compliment the flavors of the curry powder, and whether you like your curry spicy or mild, this curry with be a treat! When I made this recipe, I used half a bone in pork butt steak. Because of this, I had the bone and rim of fat, and so I added that with the veggies and cooked it with everything until I added the corn starch slurry, then I pulled them before the final ten minute of cooking. I also only used half my steak, because it is just my husband and I in our household, and I wanted to use the other half for the recipe I will be posting tomorrow. Finally, my curry powder is also very weak in flavor, so I tasted the curry at the end and added extra cumin, turmeric, and mustard powder at the end, to my taste. This curry recipe made 4 adult sized servings.
