What's your favorite homemade weeknight go-to meal, something quick but fresh and healthy? When I was in Boston last summer, visiting my brand new nephew, Adam and Mia made french bread pizza with a baguette, something I hadn't thought of in years.....so easy; so good!
Lately, our favorite has been "Rainbow Ramen," made from those cheap ramen noodles that cook up in about 1 minute, mixed with whatever colorful veggies we have and whatever meat we have in the fridge. It's a big hit every time, and since I discard the nasty (but admittedly delicious) packets, it's pretty healthy too. Here's the recipe:
1. Marinade/Meat:
If using meat, julienne and marinate for 30 minutes. For 1 lb. meat:
2 Tbsp. soy sauce
1 Tbsp. minced ginger
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
2. Prepare sauce:
1/4 cup soy sauce
3 Tbsp. rice wine
1 1/2 tbsp. sugar
1 1/2 tbsp. worcestershire
1/2 teaspoon sesame seeds
3. Saute meat in 2 Tbsp vegetable oil over med-high heat. Remove from pan.
4. Saute veggies in 2 Tbsp oil: onions, scallions, red cabbage, carrots, peppers, snowpeas, etc. If using onions, give them a 1 minute headstart before adding other veggies. Cook other veggies 1 minute. Add sauce.
5. Cook 3 packages ramen in boiling water for 2 minutes. Drain and toss in a big bowl with veggies and meat.

I enjoyed this at Jill's and it was great! I will post my standby meal in a new post so it can be found in the future.
