Sometimes plans go beautifully wrong!
I originally planned to make Rachael Ray's Everything Lo Mein for dinner by itself.
But we had some ginger and scallion scented broth and Asian Peanut Dressing left over from our New Years Eve fondue so I decided to have fondue with the Lo Mein.
We've had both of these menu items plenty of times before and we like them both a lot. But we've never had them together.
While we were eating we were struck with the idea to pour a little of the Peanut Dressing ON the Lo Mein. Oh my goodness!!!! We might just make it this way on purpose from now on! I guess we'll have to name it something else since it isn't really Lo Mein anymore.
Maybe "Everything Noodles with Asian Peanut Dressing" ?
I don't know but you should try it!
You can get the link for the Lo Mein here: Everything Lo Mein It's pretty good just like that but I add bamboo shoots too.
And the recipe for the Peanut Dressing came out of my Cuisinart Fondue Pot manual.
Here it is:
I just throw all these ingredients in a blender and puree.
4 slices peeled fresh ginger, 1/16th inch thick
3 cloves garlic, peeled
1/2 cup chicken broth
1/3 cup low sodium soy sauce or tamari
1/4 cup dark sesame oil
2 Tablespoons rice vinegar
1-2 Tablespooons fresh cilantro leaves
5 teaspoons sugar
1/2 cup peanut butter
2-4 drops chili oil (to taste)
*The pic is of the leftovers that I had for lunch today. Still delicious!

Yummie! That looks fantastic, T. I just took a look online at our bank accounts after Christmas, and I am dedicated to cooking at home for at least this month. I am putting it here in writing, at *least* for the month of January, cooking at home all nights but one. (I still MUST have at least one night out a week, since I am so stuck at home with this illness). Maybe if I make it a habit, it won't "hurt" so much, eh? Loves! Enjoy the rest of your weekend. *Mel
Awesome. I love it when that happens!
