This has to be one of my most favorite recipes for lunch at my office. It heats up really fast in the microwave and in seconds I have the perfect meal. I have to say that I do not like to buy lunch for I tend to go to the fattier foods and that causes a problem for me. So I would rather make my meal myself.

Now I have to tell you that my wife was mad at me because I did not iron the kitchen towel, so forgive me if you noticed. I have to say that I am very multi-talented but ironing I have no idea how to do it. Well, maybe next time I will try it.

Here you can add just about anything you would like to this tuna.
Try to toss the fish instead of a stir, so the fish can be flaky and not mashed.
As for the rice, you can prepare your own or get the pre-made sushi rice that you just bring to a boil and it is ready.
Remember to leave the nori open on the top part so it will stick together on the roll when rolling it. The bottom part does not matter.
Start by rolling the nori over the fish and veggies,
If you like a hot and spicy dish that is fast to make and is easy with no fuss, then here it is. I just love this dish for everything here just blends in so well that you will enjoy it over and over again. The spice is just perfect with the chicken with the smoothness of the rice.
Go ahead and make sure that you make a lot of this dish, for I know for a fact that everyone from your Family to your friends will ask for more. They will swear that you had this Dish delivered by some Oriental restaurant.
Please let me know, how yours turned out and how everyone complemented the Chef.

To get the best tasting chicken, get the natural Farmers (free range) or as organic as possible.
Here the portion is for about two Persons, but you can double it for more servings.
This recipe calls for a Sriracha sauce that you can get about anywhere. Now if you can not find any, please use any hot sauce or you can make a homemade version like I have added to the above recipe.
One way to add cornstarch or flour when the mixture is hot. Is to add it to a small strainer and just tape it slowly into the mixture and keep on stirring. In this way, it will blend in perfectly and it will not form any lumps.
This will give also give you more control over how thick you want it.
I do not really brown the chicken too much
because I want the sauce to penetrate into the meat more. I find that in this way, I get a more flavorful taste, more juicy and moist chicken.
When everything is together, let it simmer for about 2 to 3 minutes on low for the sauce to bond better to the meat.
If you make extra, then you can freeze it. for it does that well.
I see that
everyone just loves sushi, but when it
comes to making it, I hear a lot of “I
cannot make it”, it looks to complicated. Well now, there is no more reason not to try it, for in
the video below I show you how easy it
is to make without all the fuss and you
use just things that you have around the
house or that is easy to find.
Go ahead
and try it, really what could go wrong, you could even surprise
yourself. One thing I know is that your Family and Friends will just love you
for it.
Combine the vinegar, sugar, and salt and sprinkle it all around the rice while folding it. At this point you should be just flipping it, not stirring because the rice is very delicate at this stage and you do not want it to go mushy.
If you want you can fan the rice in order to help the drying stage go faster, but for me I find that I can skip this process. Make sure that you allow the rice to dry off before you work with it.
For this recipe I used smoked salmon for it is easy and less complicated as the raw salmon. Also not everyone is into the raw thing, this makes things a little more easy.
At first please do not make your Sushi complicated, just use your everyday things that you find around the house instead of hunting down all the other special ingredients.
Make sure that you knife is sharp, also to make it easier you should be cleaning and wetting your knife on every few cuts.
The size of the sushi should bite size, but then everyone is different so adapt it to suit you and your Friends.
I came home from having 3 beers , I was a bit tired form the Party and was
really hungry, but too lazy to cook. So
by just looking around here and there in
my Kitchen, an idea came to me. With
this the “Lazy Man’s Stir-fry” was born.
What a great and super fast recipe when you need something in a hurry and you have no idea
what you want. With a stir-fry all you
need is to find anything in your cupboards or fridge form veggies
to leftover meats and you have a meal.
I find with the stir-fry it all goes well with really any kind of herbs, spices and sauces all in one fry-pan, all goes in,
add corn starch or flour with water and
presto, sauce. Now keep looking in your cupboards for any type of rice or pasta, it all goes well. Now you do have the option to fry the rice and pasta with a little oil in the pan
and add then add your stir-fry to it,
but I like it just the way it is.
I hope you enjoy this and please tell me you recipe and adventure in Cooking.
Can you use Chopstick, I do but after awhile my fingers get tired and then I have to switch over to a fork. Someday I guess I will have to practise it more and see if I can get to the point where I can pick-up a single piece of rice.
I like my Stir-fry with a lot of fresh herbs and for me it has to have a good dose of hot sauce, now that's just awesome.
Beef and Vegetable Stir Fry, make super duper fast all in 5 mins. Try it with your Friends and Family, they will just love it... Add extra things to it, make it your way...:)
Chicken Stir Fry, so fast and easy, just the great flavours of the orient. Just get "Woking around" and even if you do not have one, then a fry pan will work just as well. Try it with different veggies and rice it is sure to be a crowd pleasure...
