It was Thursday afternoon, and for some in my house, that’s a non-negotiable pizza-and-fries dinner. But then my husband called to remind me that the Nine Days would be starting later that evening and perhaps we should have a fleishig dinner. At that point, I didn’t have time to run out and shop, so I figured I’d try to make do with what I’d find in my cupboards — which honestly wasn’t much since I hadn’t cooked properly in weeks, thanks to many family simchos. I knew I wanted a one-pot dinner — it was all I had time for — so I started scrambling. I did have a package of chicken cutlets in the fridge and the rest came from what I found in my pantry. I do have to say, the results weren’t bad at all — tasty enough that I’m confident sharing it here.
1 pound (1/2 kilogram) chicken cutlets, sliced into thin slivers
1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
1 single-serve chicken-flavored noodle soup
boiling water
2 tablespoons oil, divided
1/2 red onion, thinly sliced
1 (8-ounce/225-gram) can mushrooms
1 (15-ounce/425-gram) can baby corn, sliced into quarters lengthwise
1 cup Beleaves Frozen Broccoli Florets, defrosted
1 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1 tablespoon Glicks Soy Sauce
1 tablespoon Gefen Maple Syrup
Marinate chicken in the sweet chili sauce for half an hour.
In a medium-sized bowl, empty contents of noodle soup spice packet and noodles, and cover with boiling water. Set aside.
In frying pan, heat one tablespoon oil. Sauté onion until it starts to soften, about three to four minutes.
Add mushrooms and sauté five to six minutes, then add baby corn and broccoli and sauté an additional five minutes. Season with salt and pepper and remove the vegetables from the pan.
Heat remaining tablespoon of oil in the pan, toss in chicken slivers, and fry, stirring often until cooked through.
Drain noodles; add back the vegetables and noodles, as well as soy sauce and maple syrup. Bring to a boil and remove from heat.
