Black Pepper Chicken and Tofu

I am starting to run out of rice. It is sending me into a state of panic. What am I going to do without rice??

Tonight I made Black Pepper Chicken with a little bit of celery which was very delicious and I used the Lee Kum Kee sauce packet to make it. I simply used chicken breast which makes it healthy and better for your body! Super simple and super yummy, I suggest that anyone try it with some rice. I also made some Mapo Tofu with some firm tofu and ground pork. I added some garlic chili sauce and oyster sauce just for taste and it made the perfect meal!

I just love Chinese food. I could never live without it. Too bad I don't know how to cook very much of it :(

Chinese Food Experimental Outcomes

While I was at 99 Ranch Market the other weekend I happened to come across these little sauce packets from the brand Lee Kum Kee for specific dishes and I really wanted to try them. Basically all you do is have to buy the actual ingredient (whether it be chicken, tofu, vegetables, etc) and then add the sauce to it and you have a delicious dish! Just make sure to make some rice to eat with it. I tried the Mapo tofu one (though it was a bit spicy for me so I added some oyster sauce to it), a sweet pork chop variation, the black bean chicken and the eggplant. My favorite one I would have to say is the eggplant, which I know that most people don't like but I am a big fan. For vegetarians or the occasional vegetarian like me, vegetarian is full of protein and if cooked the right way can be absolutely yummy. I added a little bit of green onion to both the Black Bean Chicken and the Eggplant dish, though with the eggplant I added some ground pork, which is also popular in the Mapo tofu dish. So I suggest you look up how to make these spectacular dishes or if you are too lazy like me (but only some nights, not all the time) then use these little packets to add some spice to your food! Enjoy!

Mitsuwa Sushi!

I am a huge sushi and Mitsuwa fan. There is one near where I live back at home but a few weekends ago I discovered this GIANT Mitsuwa here in the OC with its own food court and everything! I can't wait to go back and try everything! There were all these little stands with plastic showcase examples of ramen, curry, etc. They have some delicious sushi that comes prepared for you to eat and is the perfect meal. My favorite thing is to do is find "ethnic" markets and try all the different types of food that I normally don't get to eat, so I will definitely head back to see what other goodies are hiding from me!

EMPLOYMENT!

Sorry to all for not updating for an awfully long time, my computer broke and I was therefor unable to blog :( but I will try to in the next few days so keep an eye out for a new one! Also, I just wanted to let everyone know that my friend S and I both got jobs at the Med Ed Cafe at the University where both go and we have been trained in the Starbucks ways. Yesterday was my first day on the job and I was quite flustered but give it time and I will be a coffee pro!
