DRAGON CHICKEN
Steps:
- Put the chicken breast in a bowl and add the cornstarch and 2 tablespoons vegetable oil. Blend together. Preheat remaining vegetable oil in the wok to 325 degrees F, then add marinated chicken and cook for approximately 4 minutes. Add the broccoli, mushrooms, snap peas, peppers and carrots, and continue to cook for 2 more minutes. Drain the oil, then set chicken and vegetables aside.
- Continue to heat the wok to 325 degrees F, then add garlic, whiskey and heavy cream. Heat for 30 seconds, then add the soy sauce, oyster sauce, Cajun seasoning, lobster base, sugar and black pepper. Cook, stirring constantly, until sauce begins to boil, about 3 minutes. Add back in chicken and vegetables. Toss in the heated wok for 1 minute.
DRAGON NOODLES WITH CHICKEN
Wow, this dish is amazing! You'll feel like you are eating takeout from a fancy Chinese restaurant. We like how you can doctor the sauce to your own taste. This time, we added chopped nuts to the sauce and it had a great nutty flavor. If you're a big peanut butter fan, definitely add a scoop of peanut butter. Like things spicy?...

Steps:
- 1. Method 1: Boil fettuccine per package directions. About 8-10 minutes. (Wheat noodles) Method 2: Bring a large pot of water to boil. Dump in the rice noodles and turn off heat. Let noodles sit in the hot water for 7-9 minutes - depending on how soft you want them to be. I like mine soft, so I leave them in for about 9 minutes.
- 2. While noodles are cooking, make the sauce. You will have enough sauce to save for another time or to use on the side as extra. Put all ingredients for sauce in a small saucepan and cook until butter is melted and sauce mixes well (about 5 minutes). Taste and adjust the hot sriracha sauce to your family's taste. I also sometimes add about a 1/4 cup of beef broth or chicken broth to stretch the sauce. This recipe is easily adapted to the cook's imagination or taste. You can add minced garlic and ginger or even a tablespoon of peanut butter! Note: This sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated in a mason jar for up to a week.
- 3. In a frying pan, saute the chicken strips until cooked through, then add an egg(s) to scramble.
- 4. Add the cooked, drained noodles and sauce. Top with sliced green onions and chopped fresh cilantro. Note: You can add the veggies (carrots and mushrooms, bell peppers, etc.) with the chicken and saute together.
- 5. This may sound difficult, but it's very easy and comes together quickly.
EMERALD DRAGON CHICKEN
I like this recipe because it is the work of both my husband and myself, so it is a work of love. But mind you, we like our Thai dragon and bird chiles, and don't find cooking, or eating them, a "Lethal" experience. I wanted to call this "Enter the Dragon" sort of after Bruce Lee, but it is such a lovely emerald green, and full of healthy vegetables. You will love this stir-fry. It is definitely fab. :)

Steps:
- Heat oil in wok over medium high heat; add garlic, ginger, and chiles and cook until very fragrant; add chicken and stir-fry until chicken is cooked through, remove from wok.
- Add a small amount of oil to wok and swirl; add broccoli and cabbage to wok and stir-fry, adding about 1 oz of water as needed to help cooking come along but not too much you want it too sizzle off (too much will make sauce watery at end but you can add more cornstarch mixed with water to thicken up); cook until broccoli and cabbage are crisp-tender.
- Add spinach, onions, and chicken to wok and cook until spinach is wilted, about 30 seconds.
- Pour sauce mixture into wok and stir to coat everything, and stir until everything is thickened; add cilantro and mix well.
- Serve with hot steamed rice or noodles.

Tips:
- Use boneless, skinless chicken thighs. They're more flavorful and juicy than chicken breasts.
- Marinate the chicken for at least 30 minutes. This will help the chicken absorb the flavors of the marinade.
- Use a hot skillet to cook the chicken. This will help create a nice crust on the outside of the chicken.
- Cook the chicken until it is cooked through. You can check this by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The internal temperature should be 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
- Serve the chicken with your favorite sides. Some good options include rice, noodles, or vegetables.
Conclusion:
Dragon chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The chicken is marinated in a flavorful sauce and then cooked until it is crispy on the outside and juicy on the inside. Serve it with your favorite sides for a complete meal.
