Everyone should know how to boil an egg, it’s a cooking basic right? Or maybe not. Several years ago in Hawaii I wanted to boil some eggs for tuna salad. I suddenly realized that whenever I’d done it at home, I had a nifty little boiled egg timer that my mom used. With no timer, and no money to buy one, I turned to the one source I knew could tell me how long to boil an egg. I called my mom!
Asian recipes are probably my favorite to come up with. Growing up in Hawaii gave me a huge craving for Asian food, and a wealth of knowledge from my aunties, uncles, and tutus (those are grandmas by the way!) of multiple Asian ethnicities. They’re also great on a budget because with rice and noodles in the recipe, it’s easier to stretch your more expensive ingredients like meat and produce.
Today’s Hunger Challenge recipe is a simple chicken pasta recipe with juicy bites of pan fried chicken, peas that burst in your mouth with sweetness, and a rich creamy parmesan sauce that’s so much healthier than it tastes. Oh and good news: I no longer feel sick and can actually eat it! There were definitely some things that I did differently for this recipe because of being on a food stamp budget.
