Simple Sesame Noodles

by Rebecca April 29, 2022
written by Rebecca

PREP TIME: 10 MINS | COOK TIME: 10 MINS | TOTAL TIME: 20 MINS | YIELDS: 8 servings

I prefer simple meals because they are the ones which turn out to be the best. Just like these simple sesame seeds. The ingredients you need are already available, and all you need is twenty minutes from start to finish and you have a family-approved meal perfect for any day.

Sesame noodles are my favorite since I can remember. It’s a pretty simple dish made with pantry ingredients. I like these sesame noodles by themselves, but they are great with roasted beef tenderloin, red bell pepper, fresh cilantro, or cooked, chopped shrimp.

For this recipe, I use thin noodles. You can choose from linguine, angel hair, Japanese noodles, or thin spaghetti. For the simple sauce/dressing, I adjust the measurements according to my preference. The measurements below are just approximations. Simply mix everything and toss with the warm noodles. Easy peasy!

The sauce is light with a sweet and savory combination. The minced garlic cloves added a wonderful flare. And the sesame oil makes everything amazing! Add the sesame oil with caution because it has a strong flavor. I start adding two tablespoons and simply adjust depending on my preference. For the chili oil, I sometimes kick it up a notch because I like my sesame noodles spicy.

Ingredients

3 tablespoons pure sesame oil

12 ounces thin noodles, cooked and drained

2 tablespoons sugar

1/4 cup soy sauce

4 cloves garlic, minced

1/2 teaspoon hot chili oil

2 tablespoons rice vinegar

4 whole green onions, sliced thin

4 tablespoons canola oil

How to make Simple Sesame Noodles

Step 1: In a bowl, place the sesame oil, sugar, soy sauce, minced garlic, hot chili oil, rice vinegar, and canola oil. Mix well until blended. As needed, adjust the ingredients.

Step 2: Over the warm noodles, pour the sauce and toss to coat. Lastly, sprinkle the noodles with some green onions.

Step 3: Toss again and serve. Enjoy!

Irish Apple Cake

by Rebecca April 29, 2022
written by Rebecca

Prep Time: 35 mins | Cook Time: 1 hr | Total Time: 1 hr 35 mins | Yield: 10 servings

Now I understand why everyone is raving about this Irish Apple Cake. It’s pretty great, incredibly easy to throw together, and amazing with or without the custard sauce!

Ingredients

Cake:

2 large eggs

1/2 c. (100 g.) granulated sugar

3 tablespoons (or 45 ml) whole milk or cream

1/2 c. (113 g.) unsalted butter at room temperature

1 1/4 c. (150 g.) all-purpose flour

1 teaspoon cinnamon

1 teaspoon baking powder

1/8 teaspoon salt

confectioner’s sugar for dusting

about 3 Granny Smith apples, peeled and thinly sliced (mine weighed a little over one pound after slicing)

Streusel topping:

1/4 c. (25 g.) old fashioned rolled oats

3/4 c. (96 g.) all-purpose flour

1/2 c. (100 g.) granulated sugar

6 tablespoons (85 g.) unsalted cold butter, cut into small pieces

Custard sauce:

6 tablespoons (76 g.) granulated sugar

6 large egg yolks

1 1/2 teaspoon vanilla

1 1/2 c. (or 375 ml) whole milk (you can also use half and half or cream)

How to make Irish Apple Cake

Step 1: Prepare the oven. Preheat it to 350 degrees F. Ready a 9-inch springform pan. Grease and set aside.

Step 2: Prep the sauce in advance. Start by bringing the milk to a simmer over medium heat. In the meantime, whisk the yolks and sugar until well combined. Into the egg mixture, drizzle a bit of the hot milk, stirring constantly. Then, drizzle a bit more before placing it back into the pan of the hot milk. Continue to cook until the mixture coats the back of a spoon, stirring constantly. Make sure to do this gradually over medium heat, stirring using a silicone spatula or spoon and scraping the sides and bottom of the pan as you go. Lastly, whisk in the vanilla.

Step 3: Through a sieve, pour the custard into a heat-proof jar or bowl. Make sure to lay a piece of plastic wrap onto the surface. This will prevent skin from forming once the filling cools. Then, chill in the fridge.

Step 4: For the streusel topping, combine the bits of butter with flour, sugar, and oats until the butter is completely blended and you have a coarse crumbly mixture. Keep this in the fridge.

Step 5: Next, cream the butter and sugar until light and fluffy. Then, add in the eggs, one piece at a time, beating every after each addition. Add the flour along with the baking powder, cinnamon, and salt. Mix well until everything is combined. Into the butter/sugar mixture, fold in the dry ingredients, milk, and cream.

Step 6: Into the prepared pan, spoon the batter and evenly smooth it out. On top, evenly arrange the sliced apples followed by the streusel topping.

Step 7: Place in the preheated oven and bake for about 50 minutes to 1 hour or until a toothpick inserted in the center of the cake come out clean, and the top of the cake is lightly browned.

Step 8: Remove from the oven when done and allow the cake to slightly cool in the pan. Then, take the cake out of the pan and dust it with the confectioner’s sugar.

Step 9: Slice and serve. Enjoy!

2 cloves garlic, minced

2 lbs chicken breasts, skinless and boneless

1/3 c Parmesan cheese, grated

1 c. bread crumbs

1 tbsp fresh Italian parsley

2 tbsp olive oil

2 tbsp butter

2 tsp lemon zest

Amogio Sauce:

1 c. olive oil

1 tbsp garlic

How to make Chicken Spiedini with Amogio Sauce

Chicken Spiedini:

Step 1: Grate the Parmesan cheese and zest of lemon using a Microplane. Using a garlic press, press the garlic (or chop). Then, chop the parsley.

Step 2: In a shallow pan, place the cheese, lemon zest, bread crumbs, parsley, and garlic. Mix well until combined and set aside.

Step 3: Place the chicken in a plastic bag, making sure to remove the air from the bag. Then, gently pound the chicken using a meat mallet to about 1/4 to 1/2-inch thickness. Take the chicken out of the bag and slice it into 1 1/2 width strips to make 12 pieces.

Step 4: Add the olive oil to a shallow bowl, then add the melted butter.

Step 5: Dip the chicken strips in the butter/oil mixture one at a time. Then dredge into the breadcrumbs, evenly coating the chicken. Into a ball, gently roll three chicken strips individually and prick with a skewer. Set aside. To ensure the chicken will fit into the pan, cut the excess kabob off.

Step 6: Whisk the extra-virgin olive oil, butter, lemon juice, salt, pepper, garlic, fresh chopped parsley and basil, red pepper, chili flakes in a medium saucier pan over medium heat until the mixture starts to boil. Then, take the pan off the heat.

Step 7: Over the chicken skewers, spoon just enough sauce to cover the bottom of the baking dish. Place in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes at 400 degrees F. Flip the chicken and continue baking for 15 minutes more.

Step 8: Take the baking pan out of the oven and very carefully tip the pan upward. Then, take some of the amogio sauce using a spoon and drizzle it on top of the chicken. Place the baking pan back into the oven and resume baking for another 15 minutes.

Step 9: Meanwhile, cook the Angel Hair Pasta following the package directions. Drain the pasta when done and return it to the pan. Over the pasta, pour the amogio sauce and toss to coat.

Prep time: 20 mins | Cook time: 20 mins | Total time: 40 mins | Servings: 4

Fries and chips are waving! The kids super love these crispy oven-fried fish. These are a million better than store-bought and incredibly easy to make. We also enjoy these delicious crispy oven-fried fish in a sandwich on a bun with coleslaw, mashed potatoes, veggies, and more!

Ingredients

Dry breading:

¼ c. breadcrumbs

1 c. all-purpose flour

2 tbsp fine cornmeal

2 tsp ground paprika

½ tsp dried garlic powder

½ tsp dried onion powder

¼ tsp baking powder

1 tsp fine sea salt

Eggs:

2 large eggs

Fish:

1 lb thick white fish fillets (I prefer cod, cut into pieces, about 8-10 pieces)

For the pan:

¼ c. unsalted butter

How to make Crispy Oven Fried Fish

Step 1: Place a baking sheet or dark-colored roaster in the oven, then preheat to 430 degrees F or 220 degrees C.

Step 2: In a shallow dish, place the Dry Breading ingredients. Mix well.

Step 3: In another bowl, add the eggs and beat well.

Step 4: Into the breading, dip the fish, and lightly coat. Transfer the fish into the egg, then into the breading again, pressing the fish to coat completely. Repeat with the remaining fish.

Step 6: Return the pan to the preheated oven and bake the fish for about 10 minutes. After 10 minutes, flip the fish and add the rest of the 1 tbsp butter. Continue to bake for another 5 to 10 minutes or until the fish is completely cooked and the coating is crispy. Lastly, set the oven to broil for about 2 to 3 minutes.
