Spicy Lo Mein

Got this kind of weird craving for noodles at 10:00 am this morning, so I stopped at Whole Foods and got what I needed, and you know what.. I aint even mad at you carbs, I love you actually. 

This has got to be one of the easiest & tastiest noodle recipes I've ever made...aaand extremely budget friendly, since I had everything minus the noodles in my pantry. 

What you will need..

Pack of Lo Mein Noodles / 8 oz.

4 tbs. of Butter

1/2 tbs of red pepper

2 large eggs

1 minced garlic clove

2 tbs. of brown sugar

2 tbs. of soy sauce

2 tbs. of sriracha

2 green onions

1-2 handfuls of chopped cilantro

The above amounts are for 3-4 people..But I ended up having to make another batch for Daniel & friends..so feel free to double or triple it, really.

These are the noodles I used, I'm sure any lo mein would do

So start by boiling your water, you want it to be super boily ( is this a word?) before you throw in the noodles, they cook extremely fast, so they will get mushy if the water is not hot enough.

Mix the Brown sugar, sriracha, and soy sauce..

 chop your cilantro, garlic & green onions

 in a separate bowl whisk up your eggs

Grab your butter, melt it with the garlic, and red pepper flakes, once its hot and melted, go ahead and toss your eggs in the skillet

Like I said the noodles cook extremely fast, anywhere from 4-6 minutes, so once your egg is done, your noodles will be done if not very close.

drain & rinse with cold water

throw noodles into skillet with egg & butter mixture, along with your sriracha / soy sauce, then top with the onions & cilantro

Mix everything together on medium heat..and that is it! This will seriously take you 15-20 minutes to cook, no excuse to not cook, ah I love cooking..on my days off at least ;)

I paired this with an extremely girly strawberry beer my best friend picked out for me. It was delicious.  

BBQ Chipotle Wings

So I was on a crazy wings craving last friday, so I whipped these little guys up, and they were actually better than I expected. So here they are..

Ingredients
Pack of Wings - 2-2.5 lbs
1/3 cup of BBQ Sauce
3 Tbs. of Honey
1/4 Cup of Sliced Chipotles

I used Sweet Baby Ray's BBQ sauce..because uhmm hello, The Sauce is the Boss! hah, but really use any type. I'm also lucky to have had this fresh honey we get shipped from Jalpa! and any canned chipotles will do. I used about half of that can..I like spicy :)

Combine ..

So bag your chicken, throw half of the sauce mixture and shake, making sure all the wings are covered.  Save the rest of the sauce for later..

Sadly..I don't have a grill at home, so I had to opt for baking them in the oven..ahem Daniel! I've been asking for one for over a month now. Okay so after about 20 minutes in the oven (375 degrees) I topped each wing with a spoonful of sauce and let them cook for another 20 minutes. I turned each one and let them cook for another 5-10 minutes.. and thats it!

..the aftermath, Daniel's plate :)

These were so good, I'll probably make them again for 4th of July, but this time I'll get to grill them outside at my parent's house. Hope everyone has a fun weekend!
