A very colorful dish.<\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

After a movie one morning (Yes, I do go to morning movies, and it was a horror movie so I have to go by myself because none of my friends like that type of movie.) I stopped in my favorite little market, Hubble and Hudson, which is right across the street from the theatre.<\/p>\n

I came out toting some tiny French green beans, tiny patty pan yellow squash and some baby zucchini and carrots. I already had a package of noodles that looked interesting that I picked up at Trader Joe’s, so I knew I had the makings for dinner one night. And hiding away in my pantry was a jar of Szechwan peppercorns that I needed to use.<\/p>\n

Isn’t it nice to have recipes that you can throw together in a moments notice and not feel like you are spending hours in the kitchen preparing food that  is eaten in less than 15 minutes?<\/p>\n

The flavor from the Szechwan peppercorn comes from the husk around the seed and is know for taming down the other hot\/spicy flavors of a dish. The seed itself has no flavor. I love getting out my mortar and pestle to crush the little things.<\/p>\n

MY FIRST GIVEAWAY!<\/span><\/strong> <\/span>OK, it isn’t a Kitchen Aid mixer like the Pioneer Woman gives away or a designer purse like other giveaways.  I want to see how a giveaway would work for this blog. This giveaway is for a bottle of Smucker’s Key Lime Plate Scrapers that I used in the White Chocolate Key Lime Pie<\/a>.  WINNER drawn August 25th — Donna. Congrats.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

You can use any type of chocolate as a drizzle on the plate and Hershey’s chocolate syrup works just find for the chocolate part of the recipe.  You won’t find this key lime plate scraper in the grocery. Here’s what you do if you would like a bottle of the key lime Plate Scraper.  Leave a comment below in the comment section. On August 25, I will randomly select a comment and mail the winner the bottle of key lime sauce that will make your key lime pie beautiful. So, leave any type of comment below and we will see how this works!   I have many more ideas for future giveaways, so stay tuned!<\/p>\n

On to this recipe:<\/p>\n

      Prepare szechwan sauce-- Heat oil in a pan and add the ginger, Schezwan peppercorns (that you have smashed) and garlic and stir for a couple of minutes being careful not to burn the garlic. Add the chili paste and saute for 1 minutes. Add soy sauce, brown sugar, honey, salt and 3-4 tablespoons of water. Cook for 1 minutes. Add vinegar and crushed red pepper and cook for a few seconds and turn off heat. Cool and refrigerate. Its can be stored for few weeks.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      Cook the noodles according to package directions. \u00a0Drain and put a lid over them to keep warm. (You can use any type noodle. I've also used a Udon noodle.)<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t

      Heat a wok with one tablespoon of vegetable oil till piping hot, add the green onions and stir fry for 1 minute on high heat.\u00a0Add the rest of the vegetables and toss them on high heat for 3-4 minutes until they are starting to cook but still a little crunchy. Add salt and pepper to taste. Stir in the scezwan sauce and mix. Add the drained noodles and toss to combine and stir in pan for a few seconds to reheat noodles. Garnish with more chopped green onions and serve.<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/li>\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/ol>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t
