I don’t usually leave comments on recipes, but I like to go through them to see what others have done and tried and thought. So in the spirit of that - I thought I’d share my opinion because something happened that never usually happened. I made the recipe as suggested, but with substitutions from the poster.  I used beef instead of chicken (used extra stew beef I had and cut into little pieces. Marinated the beef as per the poster’s beef and broccoli recipe); I didn’t use cabbage but mushrooms and sweet peppers instead - everything else was done as per the recipe. My husband and I loved it! My husband generally likes me cooking, but he LOVED this. By the time I put our daughter to bed, he was sitting with a second bowl AND had packed a lunch. He NEVER packs lunch - he effectively called dibs on this dish. I’d made enough for 6 servings and all that’s left is enough for lunch for me tomorrow. I’ve tried many Asian dishes before and this is by far the most delicious! Thanks you for sharing and keep up the good work. I’ll be doing the beef and broccoli next!

Added extra ginger and garlic but still seemed kind of bland to me. I might try adding some onion the next time for more flavor and more veggies.

Husbands comment “restaurant quality”, and son asked for seconds. A keeper recipe.

Quick easy and tasty. Upped the ginger and added a little more garlic - was fantastic.

this did not take me to flavor town. Noods were not gangster. Edible though.

Very good!  Loved by the whole family.  Added bonus:  it was pretty quick and easy to make!

It's real easy to make everyone loved it thanks

Add the sweet potatoes to a baking sheet with a drizzle of olive oil, the paprika, garlic powder, salt, and pepper. Toss until well coated.

Bake for 20 minutes, flipping halfway through, until the sweet potato is tender.

Heat a drizzle of olive oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Once the oil begins to shimmer, add the onion and cook for 3-4 minutes, until semi-translucent. Add the jalapeño, garlic, chili powder, cumin, and cayenne pepper and cook for 2-3 minutes, until the spices are fragrant. Add the black beans and corn, season with salt and pepper, and cook until warmed through, 3-4 more minutes.

To assemble a burrito, add ⅓ of the bean and corn mixture, ⅓ of the roasted sweet potatoes, some lettuce, tomatoes, vegan cheese, and guacamole to the center of a tortilla. Fold in the sides and roll up, keeping the filling tucked in place. Repeat with the remaining ingredients. Cut in half and serve.

These lemon and black pepper chickpeas are the perfect lunch - they&#039;re incredibly tasty, full of goodness, and take just minutes to make!

Lemon and Black Pepper Chickpeas

spring onions, (finely chopped)

garlic

tsp black pepper ((preferably freshly ground))

tsp salt

fresh parsley, (chopped)

Heat a splash of olive oil in a frying pan, and add the spring onions, garlic, and drained chickpeas. Cook over a medium heat for a few minutes, until hot and fragrant.

A stellar sandwich that can be ready in 10 minutes.

Bison Chopped Cheese w/ Peppers

Baking spray, a spritz

Ground bison, 180 g

Salt, a sprinkle

MSG, a sprinkle

Garlic Powder, a sprinkle

Onion Powder, a sprinkle

Chili Powder, a sprinkle

Smoked Paprika, a sprinkle

Low-fat American cheese, 2 slices

Hoagie rolls, 1

Lettuce, undefined

Tomatoes, undefined

cherry peppers, undefined

Pepperoncini Peppers, undefined

Sear the ground meat

Set a pan on medium-high heat and add a spritz of baking spray.

Once hot, add the ground bison to the pan and press down so it starts searing. Sprinkle over some salt, a pinch of MSG, some garlic powder, chili powder, smoked paprika, and a bit of onion powder then chop everything up with a spatula to let it cook through.

Finish the meat mixture

Once the beef is cooked through, taste it and adjust with salt and seasonings as needed.

Pile it together in roughly the shape of the hoagie, then throw the sliced hot peppers and pepperoncini over the top followed by two slices of American cheese.

If the lean meat mixture is a bit dry, drizzle some of the pickled pepper juice over everything to add some moisture. 

Steam the bread

Place the bread on top of the meat and cheese mound to let the bread steam, the cheese melt, and the meat crisp up for one more minute.

Then, using a spatula to keep everything contained, flip the sandwich over so that the roll is on the bottom and the meat and cheese are on top. This will finish toasting and warming the bread.

Finish & serve

To finish, top the beef and cheese mixture with some shredded lettuce. Then, add a few slices of seasoned tomatoes on top.

Transfer the roll to a sheet of aluminum foil and parchment paper and wrap everything up tightly. This will steam a bit and transform it into a true bodega experience.

Slice open the sandwich and enjoy.

Bold flavors and hearty ingredients make this dish a winner. Tender chicken, black beans, corn, and rice are seasoned with chili powder, cumin, and paprika for a Southwestern twist.
