Filipino Noodles

My aunt is from the Philippines and use to make this rice noodle dish that was so good. I'm not sure as to it's authenticity but I'll call it Filipino Noodles in my aunt's honor.

Recipe

  • 1.5 Tbs Kikomen's Teriaki sauce
  • Seasame oil
  • Thin rice noodles
  • stir fry veggies (I got a pre-packaged variety BOGO at the store this weekend)
  • .75 Lb Chicken
  • .5 an onion or .25 cup green onions
  • 1 clove garlic
  • .5 tsp fish sauce
  • 2-3 Tbs Stir fry sauce

Soak the rice noodles in hot water while you cook the chicken and veggies. Thinly slice the chicken and brown in vegitable oil in a hot wok. Add in the onion and saute until transparent adding in the garlic and stir fry veggies at this point.

Turn the heat down, pour in teriaki sauce and fish sauce then give it a quick stir and cover allowing the veggies to steam down. Once the veggies are at your preffered state uncover and add in the rice noodles by hand.

Pour on the stir fry sauce and mix it all together. drizzle the seasame seed oil at the last possible moment because it burns easily.

  • 1/2 cup powdered sugar
  • 1 tsp vanilla extract
  • 1 tsp almond extract

  • 1/2 tsp baking soda
  • 1 medium egg white

Combine butter, powdered sugar, vanilla and almond extract and blen until smooth. Grate is lemon zest and add egg white. Give it a quick mix until it's blended. Combine the flour and baking soda give it a stir and slowly add it to the wet mixture.

form dough into 1.5 inch balls and place 2-3 inches apart on an ungreased baking sheet and cook at 325 degrees for 15 minutes.
