Don't let anyone know you used only 4 ingredients in this lusciously creamy pasta dish. Or that you got it on the table in less than 25 minutes. We won't tell anyone either.
Mixed greens, turkey and shredded Cheddar cheese are tossed with Italian dressing and topped with vegetables and hard-cooked eggs for a satisfying salad.
Soba noodles are tossed with a fiery ginger-sesame dressing and a generous dose of cucumbers, scallions, and pan-seared tofu - it's the sort of recipe you could serve anytime...
Add chicken to cheesy mac, then give it a shake of hot sauce, and a favorite side becomes the main attraction at the family table. All in just 25 minutes.
Adapted from Martin Yan's Chinese Cooking for Dummies. This is my favorite stir-fry sauce. It makes enough for two meals. Having extra on hand makes for a quick meal. My son will actually eat vegetables he can dip in the sauce! WARNING about the amount of soy sauce. When I used Kikkoman soy sauce, I found this sauce far too salty. I now use Angostura, which is much lower in salt. When adding soy sauce, start with less than half the amount and slowly add more to taste. Using vegetable broth makes this vegetarian. Yield: 1 3/4 cups (couldn't get that amount entered)
