This week, on Bachelor Gourmet

Part 1 in a series of re-posts from old Facebook notes.

Today's dish is Asian Noodles with Sesame-Black Pepper Chicken and Fresh Scallions

First, take the half a chicken breast you didn't think to defrost out of the freezer. Being careful not to hit your fingers, slice the chicken thinly on a tiny plastic cutting board. A few minutes hard work cutting will allow it to defrost in a sane amount of time. A large knife works best for this. Spread the chicken slices evenly on the cutting board and place in the microwave for about 45 seconds. While the chicken defrosts, fill a sauce pan with water and put it on to boil. Fail to find the small skillet, and place a ridiculously large one on the stove instead. Pour in a good dollop of sesame oil, and crack some black pepper into it. Take the chicken from the microwave and sauté it in the pan. When the water comes to a boil, put in some ramen noodles you bought a bit ago because they looked like they would be good. (And trust me, they are.) Make sure to fish the flavor packet out of the boiling water and noodles. If it burned to the bottom, it would probably add a bad flavor to the noodles. Continue to sauté the chicken till it is cooked through. Cut the greens off of  those onions that spoiled, and you never got around to throwing out. (Good thing you didn't, huh?) Chop the greens, and add them to the noodles. When the noodles are done, combine the noodle mixture, chicken, and the contents of the flavor packet to the bowl and stir well. Enjoy.

Serves one, which works out rather nicely, doesn't it?
