Wednesday 25 January - Turkey Teriyaki and Noodles

Quick meal required tonight as George out ice skating, and as we are out tomorrow evening I also needed to prepare some soup to eat then. The soup went on first - Mulligatawny as requested by George as Uncle Andrew  had made some a couple of weeks ago. Used up the last chicken breast from the pack we opened on Monday and it went in the pan along with some chopped vegetables, curry powder, red lentils, sultanas and chicken stock.

This will sit in the fridge tonight for the flavours to develop, and tomorrow I'll pop a loaf of bread in the bread machine and we can grab a bowl of soup before heading off to the concert at school.

On with tonights supper - some turkey breast steaks have been marinading all day in a jar of Teriyaki marinade

To serve with these, some pak choi left over from my trip to the Chinese Supermarket at the weekend - I just halved these as they were tiny, and simply steamed them.

In addition some simply boiled fine egg noodles - did far too many as usual, but we have found that chickens love a bit of pasta, so they won't go to waste.

Wasn't sure how to cook the turkey, as the marinade was remarkably sticky, so I dry fried it, then added the marinade and a glug of soy and water to the pan and heated the turkey back through. 

Certainly not the tastiest meal we've had recently, but not unpleasant - it required a bit of additional soy over the noodles and the pak choi to make it bearable and don't think I'd buy that brand of teriyaki sauce again.
