Rain's Thursday Art and Dinner Date - Pear Still Life and a stir fry

For Rain's Art Date and Dinner Date I am showing this still life of a pear that I did years ago.

. 

For the Dinner Date, I am sharing my 'udon noodle stir fry with chicken and vegetables'.

 I was happy with the way this dish turned out.  I used leftover barbecue chicken pieces for this dish.  It is great with any leftover meat.

400g udon noodles (2 small packages)

leftover barbecue chicken pieces

1 carrot julienned

2 stalks celery julienned

broccoli julienned

2 cloves garlic minced

1/2 onion sliced

2-3 tbs canola oil

Sauce:

2 tbs mirin or Chinese cooking wine

2 tbs light soy sauce

1 tbs dark soy sauce

1 tbs sugar

1 tsp sesame oil

Bring water in a medium saucepan to the boil.  Add the udon noodles and loosen them with tongs for about 2-3 minutes.  Drain and set aside.

saute onion, garlic in oil

add vegetables and stir fry until soft (approx 5 mins)

add the chicken pieces then the noodles then the sauce.  Mix everything for 2 minutes.

Enjoy!
