Yummy Noodles

For the last two nights during dinner, where there is usually all manner of lively conversation, it has been mostly the glorious sound of slurps and grunts. What, you ask could be the cause of this and why would I be happy about it? Well, I have invented the most delicious food known to man apparently. Even the one who would like to live solely on bacon and Skittles had seconds! You see it all starts with a turkey; of which I still have three or four in the deep freeze since we could get them at around 25 cents a pound in November. So, I’ll cook up a turkey every week or two and we’ll live off the leftovers for many a day. Makes for cheap eating, and I have gotten rather creative with said turkey meat so that we have yet to get tired of eating it. This recipe is for Asian style noodles and you could substitute any of the ingredients really, it’s kind of like fried rice and it goes like this:
1 pkg angel hair pasta
½ a green cabbage, sliced thin
1 red onion
3 cloves of garlic
Teriyaki sauce to taste
Leftover meat, cooked
Mung sprouts if you are lucky enough to have them
Heat a large pot of water to boiling; meanwhile, heat a large frying pan with about a tablespoon of olive oil in it. Chop garlic, and slice onion and cabbage. Sauté onion and garlic, then toss in cabbage and cook until fully wilted. Adding ¼ cup water or broth to the pan will help to steam the vegetables. Add the leftover meat to the cabbage mixture long enough for it to re heat. Put the angel hair pasta in the water and cook it according to package directions. Strain noodles and return them to the cooking pot. Add cabbage mixture to the noodles and stir, while you mix in teriyaki sauce to taste. I usually use about ¼ of the jar when I make mine. Add mung sprouts last and serve hot. A little chili garlic sauce as a garnish is not bad at all.
