EASY ASIAN CHICKEN
This is a delicious, quick and easy recipe! I made this a lot when I was a young adult, just starting to cook, and didn't have a lot of money to spend on fancy ingredients. The sauce also makes a great marinade for grilled chicken. The recipe is modified from a recipe I saw in a 6 ingredients or less type of cookbook, sorry I don't remember the exact name of the book, or the original recipe, I saw it in a library and I haven't come across this exact book since.

EASY ASIAN CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP
This recipe makes a big batch of light soup with mild flavor and LOW fat. I don't use much salt during the cooking process, so please feel free to do so, to your preference, if desired. Freeze leftover soup for lunches. Be sure to use rice noodles or rice sticks as these do not soak up all the broth and dry out your leftover soup.

Steps:
- This recipe is broken down in a "per-person" style. By following the portions above, you will make a salad for 1 person. If you have 2 people in your party, just double it, for 3, triple it, etc. First, season or marinate your chicken breast however you like it. I love using come Cajun Seasoning, it spices it up just right. Try marinading it in Lawry's marinades, they are inexpensive and quick. They have great flavors like Carribean or Garlic Lime. Saute the whole breast for about 4 minutes on each side or until juices run clear. Leaving it whole takes longer, but the chicken will be more moist. If you are pressed for time, you can cut up the breast into chunks, then saute it. (The chicken can be baked on a rack, for a low fat option). While chicken is cooking, begin chopping your green onion. Sent them in a small bowl to the side. Next, start layering your salad ingredients. This order works best: Salad Greens, Mandarin Oranges, Croutons, then Almonds. After your chicken breast is finished, decide whether you want it in chunks or sliced. I prefer to chop it into bite size chunks, it makes it easier to eat. Add the chicken pieces atop your assembled salad, and garnish with the green onion. I like using Italian or Asian dressings, a little goes a long way. In a pinch, or on a diet, just use some fresh lemon juice, it works just as well.
Tips:
- Mise en place: Before you start cooking, make sure you have all of your ingredients and equipment ready to go. This will help you stay organized and avoid scrambling around in the middle of cooking.
- Use fresh ingredients: The fresher your ingredients, the better your dish will taste. This is especially true for Asian cuisine, which often relies on the flavors of fresh vegetables, herbs, and spices.
- Don't be afraid to experiment: Asian cuisine is all about balance and harmony. Don't be afraid to experiment with different ingredients and flavors to find what you like best.
- Use a wok: A wok is a traditional Chinese cooking pan that is ideal for stir-frying and other Asian dishes. If you don't have a wok, you can use a large skillet or Dutch oven.
- Use high heat: Many Asian dishes are cooked over high heat. This helps to quickly sear the ingredients and lock in their flavors.
- Use a variety of sauces: Asian cuisine has a wide variety of sauces to choose from, each with its own unique flavor. Some popular sauces include soy sauce, oyster sauce, fish sauce, and hoisin sauce.
Conclusion:
Asian cuisine is a delicious and versatile way to enjoy a healthy and flavorful meal. With a little planning and effort, you can easily create delicious Asian dishes at home. So next time you're looking for something new to cook, give one of these Asian chicken recipes a try!
