Directions

Mix Hoisin, Plum sauce, Sherry, rice vinegar, honey, sugar, powdered ginger and garlic powder in a bowl. Adjust to taste if need be.

Slice chicken into bite slice pieces. Scramble egg and add cornstartch. Place chicken in mixture.

Add oil to pan and dry chicken until ready. Set chicken aside.

Chop scallions and reserve green tops.

Chop remaining scallions, dry red peppers, minced garlic and ginger in pan with leftover oil. Once sauted add in chicken and sauce. Cook until sauce thick.

**I have substituted dry red pepper and minced garlic with the pepper flakes and powder. I also use minced garlic seasoning instead of the real thing. I have not noticed a difference. Also, I have eliminated the scallions and you can do without them.

Serve over brown/white rice with veggies. I usually add broccoli but anything goes!

Soba Noodles, Chicken, and Veggies with Caramelized Garlic Sauce

Warning: must love garlic.

This dish serves 1, but can easily be modified to serve more.

Some Soba noodles are gluten-free (check package). They are made from buckwheat and metabolize much more slowly than most carbohydrates, which makes them ideal for diabetics and health-conscious individuals. You can pick them up at your local japanese market or health food store.

If you don't have any chicken leftovers on hand, Marinate chicken breast tenderloins or sliced breasts in some sesame oil, chopped up garlic, sake or rice vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper for 4-24 hours. Cook in nonstick skillet.. adding a bit of soy sauce and sake/wine halfway through the cooking.

This sauce can be used on any noodles with just about any vegetables you like. Enjoy :)Submitted by: VALKYRIA-
