🌶️Spicy Chili Peanut Noodles 🍜

by Leave a Comment

Kicking things up with spicy olive oil from @maisonorphee and a creamy peanut sauce that clings to every strand of noodle. Bold, nutty, spicy, and satisfying in every bite! Perfect weeknight comfort food.
I saw the spicy police oil from maison prphee and had to try them. Tasted so good on my noodles. I tried them on my pizza and morning toast which was delicious as well.

Turkey Lo Mein

by Leave a Comment

Soft-boiled saucy noodles with turkey and veggies!
This is a scheduled post.

This is a sponsored post with Turkey Farmers of Canada. All ideas and opinions are my own.

LO MEIN:

Do you know the difference between  lo mein and chow mein?!! Chow mein means crispy noodles and lo mein are soft boiled noodles.

When it comes to Chinese noodles, I love them both but for this recipe I have elected to make a delicious Turkey Lo Mein. I added spinach, mushroom and bell pepper this time. You can always add snap peas, broccoli, bok choy or garlic chives to this.

 

THINK TURKEY:

I have partnered with Canadian Turkey to make some amazing dishes this year. I love the fact that when you eat Canadian turkey, you’re supporting Canadian turkey farmers. Creating delicious food and supporting our local communities is a great way to live our life.

Turkey takes on flavors well across all cuisines – whether you’re cooking Mexican, Indian, Moroccan, Thai and more, there’s a place for turkey on your plate. That’s why I chose turkey for this popular Chinese recipe.

COOKING TURKEY:

I have mentioned this in my other turkey recipe as well but wanted to include it again here. .

I  have received questions on cooking turkey and when it is done. The best way is to use a meat thermometer inserted into the thickest part of the turkey, without touching the bone

A whole unstuffed turkey is cooked at 170F (77C)

Ground turkey (Burgers, cutlets, meatballs, sausages) at 165F

Cuts (thigh, wings, and breast legs) at 165F again.

Garlic Creamy Mushroom Spaghetti

by 8 Comments

GarlicMushroom-8nameGarlic soaked mushrooms tossed with fresh herbs and coated in a creamy sauce on steaming spaghetti!

I am not a great mushroom lover. But when I just toss them with garlic and butter, I can have the whole bowl. 😀 that garlic and butter is a deadly combination to mushroom. It elevates the mushroom taste. So I add them to my quesadilla, curries, white curry, tacos, pasta, pizza and everything now.

I used spaghetti but you can use any kind of pasta you fancy. And you can also use whole wheat or any kind 🙂 it is going to be yum. And you can always use any kind of mushrooms for this. Sometimes I add wine to my sauce, it gives surely a unique taste ;). And I mostly add spinach to it. But this time, I wanted to make something quick and wanted to make something with few ingredients that is available.

You wont be able to stop yourself from this scrumptious cream mushroom pasta.  The best part in this is that it is so quick and easy to make. I would say one of the best weekday dinner recipes. You can add some sauted chicken to it if you want to. The best thing about pasta is that you can create your own recipe with your favorite ingredients.

 

Most recipes of pasta, I add cheese to it but this was so good and creamy that I felt it is not necessary. But if you want you can add some goat cheese or parmesan cheese.

  • For Sauce:
  • Butter – 2 tbsp

Instructions
  1. Cook the pasta according to the instructions on the package. Boil water and add the pasta with the salt needed for pasta. Then remove and run the pasta through cold water. And toss with a little oil to prevent sticking.

  2. Take a pan in medium high heat, melt 2 tbsp of butter. Add 2 cloves of garlic and sauté it for a minute. Then add the mushrooms and sauté for 7-8 minutes until golden brown and it should be soft. Set this aside.
  3. Add 2 tbsp of butter to the same pan in medium high heat, add the 2 cloves of garlic and sauté for a minute. Then add the flour, stir fry quickly for 30 seconds and make sure it does not get lumpy. Add the milk slowly and whisk it as you add.
  4. Season with salt and pepper. Let the whole mixture simmer until it thickens. Add olive oil and water when needed if you think the sauce is very thick.
  5. When you think it has got into nicely creamy texture, toss the sauce, pasta and mushrooms together.
  6. Top it with fresh chopped parsley and some crushed pepper just before serving
Notes
You can always use any kind of pasta you fancy.
