If you are wondering, the first one is this Teriyaki Chicken Stir Fry followed by Chicken with Sesame Noodles. It is hot outside and most days I don’t feel like spending too much time in front of the stove. My solution to that problem is usually to make salads, but sometimes we need a break from all things green and need some substance in our stomach. This dish, in that context, checks all the boxes.

This recipe was first published in 2014. It has been updated with new photos, a quick video and a few updates on the recipe. If you look at the recipe below, at first glance you might think that the ingredients list is long. While I agree with the fact that Asian cooking requires an initial ingredient investment, once you have the basics (i.e. rice vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce, fresh ginger, lemongrass, sesame oil etc.) in your fridge, they last a long time. I buy almost every one of these ingredients from Trader Joe’s as I find their prices to be most economical. Additionally, if you can’t get your hands on lemongrass or don’t want to deal with peeling it, I recommend using Gourmet Garden Lemongrass. As a matter of fact, I no longer bother with buying fresh lemongrass as I find this to be a much quicker and convenient alternative. They usually sell it in the herb section in grocery stores. With that being said, the recipe below has instructions for both types of lemongrass. I also topped it off with some scallions, hot chili pepper (totally optional), and sesame seeds, which are usual classic toppings for most Asian stir fry dishes such as this Sweet and Sour Stir Fry.
