Ingredients

For Sauce

• 1 tbsp brown sugar packed
• 2 tbsp soy sauce low sodium
• 2 tbsp dark soy sauce
• 1 tbsp oyster sauce
• 1 tsp hoisin sauce
• 1/4 tsp ground black pepper
• 1 tsp sesame oil

For Chicken

• 1 lb chicken breasts skinless and boneless, cut into small pieces
• 2 tbsp soy sauce
• 1 tsp fresh ginger minced
• 3 cloves garlic minced
• 2 tbsp olive oil

For Veggies-- Can sub in whatever veggies (we did broccoli, cauliflower, red pepper onion and julienned carrots)

• 2 tbsp olive oil
• 2 cups shiitake mushrooms sliced
• 1 cup Chinese cabbage shredded
• 1 cup carrots julienned
• 1 large onion chopped

Other

• 16 oz ramen noodles or any other Asian style noodles
• 3 green onions chopped

Instructions

• Cook the noodles according to package instructions. Drain and set aside.
• In a small bowl whisk all the sauce ingredients together, then set aside.
• In another medium sized bowl toss together the chicken with the soy sauce, ginger and garlic.
• Heat the olive oil well in a large wok. Your wok should be nice and hot before adding the chicken to it. Add the seasoned chicken and cook for about 5 minutes or until the chicken starts to brown and is no longer pink inside. Transfer chicken to a plate and set aside.
• Add the other 2 tbsp of olive oil to the wok then add the shiitake mushrooms, cabbage, carrots and onion to the wok. Cook for a minute while tossing around.
• Add the chicken back to the wok. Add the cooked noodles, prepared sauce and toss everything together. Turn off the heat.
• Garnish with green onions and serve.

Notes

1. Cook time includes time to cook noodles.
2. You can also use chicken thighs instead of chicken breast.
3. If you don't have hoisin sauce, you could replace that with a bit of barbecue sauce for that bit of sweetness.
4. Oyster sauce could also be replaced with a soy sauce or fish sauce.
5. Please keep in mind that nutritional information is a rough estimate and can vary greatly based on products used.

Almost Famous Animal Style Burgers (In-N-Out) In and Out Hamburger (Recipe from food network)

Ingredients

2 tablespoons vegetable oil, plus more for brushing
2 large onions, finely chopped
Kosher salt
1/4 cup mayonnaise
2 tablespoons ketchup
1 tablespoon sweet pickle relish
1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
2 pounds ground beef chuck (preferably 60 percent lean)
4 hamburger buns, split
1/4 cup sliced dill pickles
3/4 cup shredded iceberg lettuce
4 to 8 thin slices tomato
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup yellow mustard
8 slices American cheese
ADD CHECKED ITEMS TO GROCERY LIST
Directions

Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-low heat. Add the onions and 3/4 teaspoon salt, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until golden and soft, about 30 minutes. (If the onions brown too quickly, reduce the heat to low.) Uncover, increase the heat to medium high and continue to cook, stirring often, until caramelized, about 8 more minutes. Add 1/2 cup water to the skillet, scraping up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan. Simmer, stirring, until the water evaporates, about 2 more minutes; transfer to a bowl and set aside. (The onions can be made up to 3 days ahead; cover and refrigerate, then reheat before using.)
Mix the mayonnaise, ketchup, relish and vinegar in a bowl; set aside. Shape the beef into 8 patties, about 4 inches wide and 1/2 inch thick.
Heat a griddle or skillet over medium heat; lightly brush with vegetable oil. Toast the buns on the griddle, split-side down. Spread each toasted bun bottom with about 1 tablespoon of the mayonnaise mixture, then top with a few pickles, some lettuce, 1 or 2 slices tomato and another dollop of the mayonnaise mixture; set aside. (Keep the griddle hot.)
Season both sides of the patties with salt and pepper. Working in batches if necessary, put the patties on the griddle and cook 3 minutes. Spread about 1 1/2 teaspoons mustard on the uncooked side of each patty, then flip and top each with 1 slice cheese; continue cooking about 2 more minutes for medium doneness. Top 4 of the patties with caramelized onions, then cover with the remaining patties, cheese-side up. Sandwich the double patties on the buns.
