We love Gooseberry Patch and this book was just as expected,  AMAZING!. The day it arrived I got a call from Hubby announcing a new “Gooseberry patch” book had arrived and he already picked something for dinner. Boy was that fast; apparently this book has amazing recipes that use ordinary stuff from your pantry, I was told. I left it up to hubby to have dinner ready after I get home from work and let him surprise me with a “Budget” dinner from the new Rush Hour recipe book. I had no idea what to expect that evening when I walked into the door.. check out what I saw on the stove…

Doesn’t this look delicious? It sure smelled yummy and I couldn’t believe how easy it was with ingredients that we already had in the house.

Stir-Fried Pork & Noodles
(we used Chicken instead)

This is what you need:125_6038

  • 5c. water, divided
  • 2 3oz pkgs Oriental –Flavor ramen noodles, divided (if you have a Teen in the house, you should have these..lol)
  • 2 t. oil, divided
  • 16-oz pkg frozen stir-fry vegetables, thawed
  • 1/2 c. onion, sliced
  • 3 gloves garlic, minced
  • 3/4lb pork chops (or chicken like we did, could even use beef), cut into strips or cubes
  • 1 T. cornstarch
  • Optional: Soy Sauce

This is how to make it:

  1. In a Saucepan over high heat, bring 4 cups water to a boil.
  2. Add noodles; set aside seasoning packets. Boil noodles for 3 minutes, drain.
  3. Meanwhile, add one teaspoon oil to a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add vegetables, onion and garlic to skillet. Cook and stir until crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Set vegetable mixture aside in a bowl.
  4. Add pork ( or whatever meat you like) and remaining oil to skillet. Cook and stir just until pork (or meat) is cooked through.
  5. Remove pork (or meat) add to bowl with vegetables.
  6. Combine remaining water, reserved seasoning packets and cornstarch in skillet; stir until simmering and well-blended. Cook for one minute, or until slightly thickened.
  7. Add noodles; toss to coat, add meat and vegetable mix.
  8. Cook and stir gently over low heat until warmed through.
  9. Serve with Soy sauce, if desired. Makes 4 servings.

This was such a quick and “hearty” dinner. Simple, few ingredients and everyone in our Crazy household enjoyed it. The Teen loved it because it had his beloved Ramen Noodles and the Tween got a kick out of it that we used ramen Noodles in a dinner dish.

  31. The days I work in the office versus from home leave little prep time for dinner. I’d rather not rely on out of the box meals or takeout, so more quick recipe ideas are always welcome!

    Also, commented on Daily Pick me up Quote – Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn’t today.
