All These Little Moments

Nasoya Stir Fry

I really wanted some Chinese food and was planning on just going to Panda Express to get some, when I remembered that I was sent some Nasoya Pasta Zero to try.  I had never heard of this brand before, but I had read that it was better for you than regular pasta so I decided that I would give it a try.  I had started boiling water for my rice and I figured I would just use some of that water to boil my pasta too until I read the package and realized that I did not need to cook the pasta.  This is so exciting for someone like me who forgets to eat some days until all of a sudden I am starving and need food as soon as possible.  When you first open the noodles they have a sort of weird smell, but it warns you about that on the package.  You just have to rinse the pasta and it mostly gone.  I would not recommend eating the pasta plain, or with little flavor because it does have a bit of an odd flavor to it.  However, once you add the sauce to it that does not matter.  One thing that I was not a big fan of was that it was really chewy.  Overall, I would definitely recommend this product.  Especially if you are gluten free, or a vegan.  It would be a good substitute for other pasta products.

This dish is so easy to make and is easily adaptable for whatever you like best.  In my stir fry I used Nasoya Pasta Zero Shirataki Spaghetti, broccoli, teriyaki chicken, and garlic. However, you could put whatever vegetables you want in it.  As well as whatever sauce you would like.  I origionally wanted to use the orange chicken sauce that is sold at Panda Express but I had none left.  Instead of running to go get some more I decided to use teriyaki sauce for both the noodles and chicken and it was still delicious.  

Steps:

These are all the steps you will need to take to make this dish.  However, you do not necessarily have to do them in this order.  This is just the order I decided to do it in. 

First I boiled some water for the rice to go in.  Just boiling the amount of water equal to the amount of rice you want cooked. 

Secondly I put some chopped up broccoli on the stove on low just getting the ready for the garlic and pasta. 

Then, this is the best part, the Nasoya Pasta does not need to be cooked.  Nope, you just open the bag (which is filled with pasta and water) and drain it over the sink.  Then you rinse the pasta with cold water and you are good to eat it.  I wanted mine warm and mixed in with my veggies so I added it in with the broccoli.  I mixed in a little bit of minced garlic and some teriyaki sauce until it gets to the flavor I wanted.

While the pasta is slowly warming up on the stove I made the chicken.  I had frozen chicken that was already cut up into chunks.  I had thawed them out earlier and added them to a frying pan that I put oil on the bottom of.  I cooked each side for a few minutes until it was completely cooked. 

 I then put all the chicken pieces in a bowl and coated it with teriyaki sauce.  After it was all coated I added it to the bowl of noodles and broccoli.  And that was it.  Easy, and delicious, stir fry.  I also ate mine with a side of rice.
