This recipe was WAY too sweet. Also put in into an 8" tarte pan and it didn't cook through.

Next time put in half whole wheat flower and half or LESS white sugar.
Also used olive oil instead of vegetable oil.

Serves 2 | Prep Time: 15 Mins | Cook Time: 5 Mins
Ingredients:
2 tablespoons oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
4 oz boneless and skinless chicken breast, cut into thin pieces
8 oz dry wide rice sticks or 10 oz fresh flat rice noodles
6 oz Chinese broccoli (kalian/gailan)
2 beaten eggs, optional
Seasonings:
2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
Method:
Cook the wide rice sticks according to the package directions. Strain in a colander and run cold running water until the noodles becomes cool. Set aside to drain. If you use fresh flat rice noodles, loosen the noodles with hand, make sure they are not sticking or clumping together.
Mix all the ingredients for the Seasonings in a small bowl. Set aside.
Heat the oil in a wok or skillet over high heat. Add the garlic and stir fry until aromatic. Add the chicken and continue stirring. As soon as the chicken changes color, add the rice noodles, Chinese broccoli, and stir continuously, for 30 seconds. Add the Seasonings and stir continuously until everything is well combined. Add the beaten eggs (if using), and more oil if needed. Cook the egg and then stir to combine well with the noodles. Dish out and serve immediately.

Olive Oil Cake



EVO and Yogurt Loaf Cake
New: May 2016

Makes 8 servings
1 1/2 cups all-purpose flour
2 teaspoons baking powder
Pinch of salt
1 cup sugar
Finely grated zest of 1 lime
1/2 cup plain whole milk yogurt
3 large eggs
1/4 teaspoon pure vanilla extract
1/2 cup evo (extra-virgin olive oil)
Getting ready: Center a rack in the oven and preheat the oven to 350 degrees F. Generously butter an 8 1/2-x-4 1/2-inch loaf pan, place the pan on a lined baking sheet and set aside. Whisk together the flour, baking powder and salt and keep near by.
Put the sugar and zest in a medium bowl and rub the ingredients together until the sugar is fragrant. Whisk in the yogurt, eggs and vanilla. When the mixture is well blended, gently whisk in the dry ingredients. Switch to a spatula and fold in the oil. The batter will be thick and shiny. Scrape it into the pan and smooth the top.
Bake the cake for 50 to 55 minutes, or until it is golden and starts to come away from the sides of the pan; a knife inserted into the center of the cake will come out clean. Cool on a rack for 5 minutes, then run a knife between the cake and the sides of the pan. Unmold and cool to room temperature right-side up.
Storing: You can keep the cake at room temperature for at least 4 days or freeze it for up to 2 months
