simple stir-fry

Here's a recipe I'd been sitting on for the last three years: Chicken, Mushroom and Asparagus Stir-Fry. Now those are three of my favorite dinner ingredients, so why wait? Well, I wasn't sure about the oyster sauce. Or the stir-fry sauce. You may recall that I finally tried oyster sauce back in April when I made Pork Lo Mein. It's just been sitting in the back of the fridge ever since so I figured I might as well use it.

It turns out that the combination of the two sauces tastes exactly like takeout beef and broccoli, so I guess that's what they use? It's a familiar taste, at any rate. I thought the final dish was delicious, and being a stir-fry, easy to put together. Highly recommended.

fun on a bun...

Technically, the bun is optional but I just have to recommend these Spice-Rubbed Chicken Breasts.  I thought it sounded like a different kind of chicken sandwich for me and I'd never made a rub before. I have plenty of recipes but none which triggered an immediate response of, "I must try this." Also, I'd never purchased cumin before. It smells like the primary ingredient in a packet of taco seasoning, so you can see why it would need to be balanced out with brown sugar. Actually, all of the spices work well together, even the little tang of thyme. I think I'll be trying it on salmon next.
