I'll Stir, You Fry

First post, so I thought I'd stick with something relatively simple. A traditional chicken and vegetable stir-fry, with ricotta stuffed zucchini rolls for an app.

Right off the bat the zucchini rolls give me some real trouble, which was not a warm welcome to my blogging career. Too thick, too thin. I basically wasted a whole zucchini trying to get it right. But by zucchini number two, I got enough sufficient strips to make a few rolls. I lay the strips in some oil and balsamic vinegar, spoon some ricotta cheese into them and roll them up. Done.

Now the recipe for the stir-fry calls for oyster sauce. Not being a big fan of seafood, oyster sauce doesn't really sound like it'd be up my alley. Like, what's in this stuff? Is there actually oysters in it? Hmm, "oyster extract" they say.. But hey, Gordon Ramsay uses it, and I don' think that he would lead me astray.

Cut up all my vegetables. Change cutting boards a few times for no reason at all.

Next I throw them all into the pan, which was supposed to be a wok. I don't have a wok and figured it wouldn't really matter. I was wrong. Many vegetables were lost over the side that day. After the veggies I throw in my chicken. A ton of it, because I love chicken. Then some egg noodles. Mix it all up and add in some soy sauce and that darn oyster sauce.

Plate up both dishes and they're ready to eat! And they look not too bad.

Now Hiring! Somebody to come and clean up my kitchen after I cook. Will pay you in whatever food I just made. Position has just opened up as mom and dad have quit.

So that was a few hours of my life well spent. Definitely worth it as the finished dishes were delicious. Thanks for reading, I hope you enjoyed it. If technology hasn't failed by next week, come back again for a new dish.
