Made us all very happy this evening and also quick to make, which is a bonus after a longish wait for Izzie&#8217;s vaccination earlier this afternoon.  We got home after 6pm, by 7 we were fed and onto the cookies- more of which later. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Thinly sliced chicken breasts were marinated in soy sauce, dark soy sauce ( today substituted by a bit of oyster sauce, but I have an order coming from Oishii Planet), Shaoxing wine, some bicarb of soda and some cornflour. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Basmati rice was steaming away, I prepared the veggies and then the stir fry sauce; a good splash of Hoisin, some soy, some Shao, brown sugar, rice vinegar and black pepper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Onto a very hot wok went some oil, roughly chopped onions, quickly caramelised, then the chicken, which I left in peace for about 3 minutes to catch some colour. Some chopped garlic, peppers and a handful of edamame, which I found in Esselunga, miraculously. Finally the stir fry sauce, around the edges, a minute or two, spring onions and we were good to eat.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>It was very much enjoyed, The Child had seconds. A keeper. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Courtney gave me some Swedish cookies at school, made by Daniel, I&#8217;m told they are called kolakakor. And I even obtained the recipe. Very nice indeed, sugar intake for today was quite, erm, significant. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><a href=\"https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2026\/02\/1000029654-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2026\/02\/1000029654-768x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3708\" srcset=\"https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2026\/02\/1000029654-768x1024.jpg 768w, https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2026\/02\/1000029654-225x300.jpg 225w, https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2026\/02\/1000029654-1152x1536.jpg 1152w, https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2026\/02\/1000029654-1536x2048.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/blogs.xs4all.co.uk\/tablefortwo\/files\/2026\/02\/1000029654-scaled.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><\/a><\/figure>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Marion&#8217;s.
