Couples Night- Rachel Anderson and Michelle Beattie

Chicken and Vegetable Stir fry

Sugar Snap Peas (2 cups)

Fresh Mushrooms (1.5 cups)

Carrots (chopped) (1 cup)

Water Chestnuts (2 cans)

Sprouts (1 can)

3-4 lbs. chicken (chopped)

Sauce:

2 packs Chicken gravy

½- ¾ c. soy sauce

thickener-I used baking power 

*I made an insane amount of stir fry for 20 adults, use as many veggies/chicken as you want, these are estimated amounts

Jaudz

2 pkg. wonton skins

1 lb ground beef

1 lb ground pork

½ head, finely shredded and chopped cabbage

3 Tablespoons finely chopped green onions

4-6 Tablespoons Sesame Oil

4-6 Tablespoons LaChoy Soy Sauce

1-2 Cloves garlic – minced fine

1-2 teaspoons ginger – chopped fine

Combine ingredients for filling.  Place 1 teaspoon of filling inside each round jaudz skin.  Moisten the outer edge of each skin – then crimp closed.

Place 4 tablespoons of oil in a frying pan and add jaudz when the oil is hot.  Fry until golden brown on each side, on medium heat, then turn the heat down and cover, cooking for an additional minute or two.  Place on a paper towel in a pan in the oven (180 degrees) to keep warm.

Sauce –

Equal parts of white vinegar and soy sauce

They may be steamed as well.  Just place cabbage leaves in the steamer – and place steamer in a wok that has been filled with water.  Boil on medium for about 30-40 minutes.

Homemade Cinnamon Ice cream

2 cups milk
1 ¾ cups sugar
Stir together and then microwave in a glass bowl for 3 min. to scald the milk

Cool in the fridge for about ½ hr. if you want the ice cream to mix more quickly in your ice cream machine.

If you don’t cool it first, it takes about 30 min. extra to freeze the ice cream=more ice

Add ½ t salt
1 c milk
1 T vanilla
5 c cream
1-2 T cinnamon (I used 2)

Mix ingredients together and pour into ice cream freezer.  Add about 1 ½ “ ice cubes then 2-3 T rock salt on each side of freezer until you reach the top.

Continue to add salt and ice as needed.

Freezing time is about 40 min.
