Egg Drop Soup

Pork Fried Rice

Orange, Garlic and Ginger Chicken

 

 

 

We all love some good Chinese food! My favorites are the egg flour soup, or in this case I made egg drop soup and pork fried rice. My hubby loves his rice when we get Chinese food... Lord help us if I didn't make enough! lol Not to worry though, all of these recipes can be stretched to infinity!

 

Let's get started!

 

 

Ingredients for the Egg Drop Soup:

4-5 cups of chicken broth

2 stalks of celery, diced

1/2 head of cabbage, chunked

Roughly 1 cup of frozen peas

2 eggs, scrambled-do not cook!

1 teaspoon of soy sauce

salt and pepper to taste

Add all ingredients to a medium sized soup pot except for the eggs.

Bring to a boil-cooking all of the veggies until tender.

Once veggies are soft, take a fork and drizzle little bits of the scrambled egg right into the boiling water. It will fluff up and.... Presto!

You have my version of Egg Drop Soup! :)

Ingredients for the Pork Fried Rice:
1 1/2 cups of rice (I used Jasmine rice for extra depth of flavor)
2 eggs
1 pork steak, cut into tiny bits
1/2 cup of frozen peas
Soy sauce (to taste)
2-3 Table spoons of sugar
1/4 teaspoon of Sesame Oil

Start by cooking your rice and frying up the pork.

While these things are cooking, scramble up the two eggs in a small bowl. Cook into an "omelet" in a small non-stick pan, making sure not to burn the bottom! Once cooked, remove from the pan and roll into a "burrito". Cut into super thin little sections- and set aside.

After the rice and pork is fully cooked, place into a large cast iron skillet or large non-stick pan.

Add frozen peas, and cut egg.

Sprinkle over the top your sugar, soy sauce and sesame oil. Using a spatula, fold the rice mixture onto itself, mixing all of the ingredients together.

I ended up adding a little more soy sauce and sugar by the end, but you can tailor this recipe to how ever your taste buds direct you! :)

Let everything get friendly on low heat and serve nice and hot! :)

Ingredients for the Orange, Garlic and Ginger Chicken

 

2-4 Chicken breasts, cut into chunks

Juice from 4 Oranges

1 Inch piece of ginger, grated on a microplaner

2 cloves of garlic, minced

2 Tablespoons of corn starch

salt and pepper to taste

2 teaspoons of sugar

 

Cook chicken in a non-stick pan.

 

Mix the rest of the ingredients together and give it a good whisk.

Pour into the pan with the cooked chicken.

Bring it up to boiling, stirring constantly. The corn starch will thicken the sauce... make sure you turn down the heat once it starts getting thick!

And that's it! One awesome meal.. so simple! :) I hope you enjoy it as much as my hubby and I did! :)
