Stir Fried Chicken Noodles

This was a Sunday evening meal for 15 people after already serving lunch for 30 (which I did have help with). But due to it being the 2nd meal of the day for a large number of people I did a quick version. This involved a lot of frozen veg.

Ingredients:
3 Tbs veg oil
1 chopped onion
4 cloves of crushed garlic
2cm root ginger
12 noodle cakes
1 bag frozen peppers (apporx 500g)
1 bag mixed frozen veg (1kg)
4 chicken breasts cubed

I don't tend to measure the amount of sauce I add to flavour as I tend to just chuck it in and taste so the following amounts are very appoximate!

150ml soya sauce
6 Tbs oyster sauce
1 Tbs fish sauce
2Tbs toasted sesame oil

Apricot chicken

One of my favourite easy fail safe recipes that I learnt from a friend. Considering the lack of ingredients and the simplicity of putting it together, it is an amazing dish and perfect for a family meal or when cooking for a large number of people.

Ingredients:
6-8 chicken pieces (I prefer thighs)
1 can of apricot halves in syrup
1 pack of powdered french onion soup mix

I sometimes like to add a couple of chopped carrotts as well if I don't want to cook additional vegetables.

Empty the can of appricots and onion soup mix in a casserol dish and place the chicken on top.
If you would like slightly more sauce then you can add a cup of water.

Place in the oven for about 45-1hr at 180 c or until cooked.

Serve with rice. It is as easy as that.

Satay

I have been really wanting some satay for the last few weeks so finally went and bought myself some crunchy peanut butter (I only usually have smooth in the house as thats what I prefer on toast).
Satay is one of the easiest foods to make for such a huge amount of mouth watering satisfaction.
I have decided though that I need to come up with a repeatable recipe - like so many of the things I cook, I tend to chuck stuff in and give it a stir and taste and keep adding ingredients till I am satisfied enough with the product.
This sadly means I will have to make lots of different batches to try out!
So once I have figured out a recipe I like, I will share it with you.
