CHICKEN & NOODLES
Marinate Chicken: Pour 1 tbsp of Sauce over the chicken, mix to coat, set aside to marinate for 10 minutes.
Noodles: Prepare the noodles according to the packet instructions (my pack says soak in boiled water for 1 minute), then drain.
COOKING:
Heat oil in wok or large fry pan over high heat.
Add garlic and stir fry for 10 seconds or until it starts to turn golden – don’t let it burn!
Add chicken and stir fry until the surface gets a tinge of browning but inside is still raw – about 1 minute.
Add the cabbage, carrot, and the white pieces of shallots (i.e. from the base of the stalk). Stir fry for 1 1/2 minutes until the cabbage is mostly wilted.
Add the noodles, Sauce and water*. Stir fry for 1 minute, tossing constantly.
Add bean sprouts and remaining shallots/scallions. Toss through for 30 seconds or until the bean sprouts just start to wilt.
Remove from heat and serve immediately.
Bus Outing
A group of Roseneath Residents participated in a bus tour around the Ranger Valley Feedlot Farm, with our tour guide
Andrew (Ranger Valley Employee). Resident’s enjoyed learning about the feedlot, as well as asked many questions. It was interesting to
see how everything is reused in some way to benefit the feedlot farm and its environment.
Roseneath was very thankful for the opportunity and the hospitality that Rangers Valley Feedlot Farm shown Roseneath Residents.
