Lunch!

So I got up this morning around 7:45 - 8am after Joe left for work, because I couldn't fall back asleep. Decided to check what time I needed to be on the bus in order to get to work on time, 10am to my surprise, so then I hurriedly got myself and Ian ready, and told his father to meet us at the mall. Since it was a call in shift from 12 - 5, and since I was waiting at the bus stop, I called the store only to find out they didn't really need me to go in today~! ....annoyed and sorta sweaty (bc in texas it's like 90 degrees at 10:15am) I walked back into my apt. Luckily I hadn't gotten on the bus already.. 

Ian got picked up around noon or so, and then I finished watching the two final episodes of Kuragehime (pics above) ..I didn't really feel like cleaning yet so.. I made some lunch!

Okay, okay, I  know it doesn't really -look- all that appetizing, but it tastes delicious! Today for lunch I made myself some plain noodles (help from maruchan ramen lol) tossed with some toasted sesame seeds, and chicken breast with a garlic-peanut spicy sauce. And while my nose is running a little bit, it still isn't as spicy as I wanted it to be -__-

I am just so bored at home today with Joe gone! When he was working at Forever 21 I was sort of used to it, but last week he was home every single day with me, and now I miss him.. lame..I know. I also wish I could have shared this dish with him!

Here's the recipe (even though I didn't use one....)

Sauce:

1 cup soy sauce

1/2 cup water

1/2-1 tsp corn starch

1 tsp peanut butter

1 tbsp sriracha 

2 large cloves of garlic, chopped fine

1 tsp chili powder

1 tsp crushed red pepper flakes

Everything else:

1 large chicken breast

1 package ramen noodles (only used the noodles, not the flavoring)

1/2 - 1tsp toasted sesame seeds

This recipe probably would have tasted better if I had more ingredients, ideally I probably would also have added/wanted: powdered ginger, scallions, carrots, crushed peanuts, onions, and probably rice instead of noodles..but I made do!

I cooked the chicken first, then cut it up and added all the ingredients for the sauce. Noodles cooked separate, and I actually used the starchy noodle water instead of just tap water to help the corn starch thicken it up. Also, I'm used a hell of a lot more sriracha than what I stated above..I just figured that 1 tbsp was more...'normal'..

There ya go!
