Quick chicken dinner needs a kick

Tonight I made Asian Noodles with Chicken and Scallions.   The recipe came from Gourmet Magazine (Dec 2006).  A very quick dish, I have to say I should have saved this for a weeknight meal.  I was able to make this with one pot on the stove and one bowl on the side.  I was looking for an Asian-style dinner tonight and that’s exactly what I got.  (Stress the “style” part.)

If you make this recipe, I would encourage tasting all the way through and possibly adding some additional oyster sauce or hoisin sauce.  It was a bit on the bland side.  I added a good squirt of sriracha sauce to my plate.  That definitely perked things up!

What brought me to this meal this week is the largest bottle of oyster sauce I ever bought.  I opened the fridge door this weekend thinking of what I should use as an ingredient starting point and found this bottle.  I had purchased it in early December and forgotten about it over the holidays.  In an effort not to waste food, I built my grocery list around oyster sauce this week.  Looking forward to some good food this week!
