Noodly Chicken Creation!

What to do with leftovers?
Fry them up in a pan and add spices! Of course... when half the really good stir fry spices have ascorbic acid, citric acid, or soy sauce in them, it's good times. For last night's delve into dining decadence, I took:

1.  6 Leftover sesame chicken thighs.
      Drizzle honey on chicken thighs, sprinkle with sesame seeds, bake in oven.
      These were a bit dull... I am going to add ground up mustard seeds and some garlic next time....
2. Brocolli stems and all, sliced up (one bunch)
3. 2 Med Onions (I don't seem to have an issue with onions, but some ICers do)
4. 4 bulbs Fresh Garlic 
5. 1/2 a bunch of Spinach. stems removed (that's for you, Sheri!)
6. Pine nuts, chopped and roasted (about a cup)
7. Japanese Noodles (two bricks)

I basically chopped up ingredients 1-4 and fried them up in some Sesame Oil, although any oil would do. I cheated a bit on the diet and added a bit of Hoisin Sauce for flavor (only about a teaspoon). I am seriously thinking of making an IC friendly Hoisin Sauce sometime in the future.... The only bad ingredient seemed to be a preservative, and it was way down on the ingredients list.

Then, I added the spinach, pine nuts and noodles, about a 1/4 cup of water, mixed together and covered until the noodles were soft.  And TADA! Dinner!

The husband thought it was quite yummy..

So does the cat at work... Again. 
Success!
