Szechuan Noodles
A little something different. Quick and easy!
3 tbsp. soy sauce
2 tsp. vinegar
few drops Tabasco sauce
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1 tbsp. grated ginger
3 tbsp. crunch peanut butter
1 tbsp. sesame oil
1/2 c. vegetable stock
3 tbsp. sunflower oil
6 oz. bean sprouts
6 oz. snap peas, cut on the diagonal
8 oz. of noodles (I use fresh chow mein or something like that)
1/4. finely chopped peanuts
Combine the soy sauce, vinegar, Tabasco, garlic, ginger, peanut butter, sesame oil and stock. Stir together and set aside.
Cook noodles according to package directions.
Heat the sunflower oil in a large pan. Add the bean sprouts and snap peas. Stir fry a few minutes until hot and just cooked, but still slightly crisp. Mix the vegetables into the hot drained noodles. Pour the cold sauce over the top and toss thoroughly. Top with a sprinkle of the chopped peanuts. Serve immediately.

2 (7 1/2 ounce) cans canned salmon, drained (skinless, boneless)
1 large egg, lightly beaten
2 tablespoons mayonnaise
1/2 teaspoon lemon juice
1/2 teaspoon worcestershire sauce
2-3 dashes Tabasco sauce
Directions
Mayonnaise:
Combine first 6 ingredients in a small bowl; cover and chill.
Salmon Cakes:.
Heat 1 teaspoon oil in medium nonstick skillet over medium heat; add onion and celery and saute 4 minutes, or until tender.
Combine onion mixture with 1/2 cup crackers, mustard, 1/4 teaspoon black pepper, salmon, egg, mayonnaise, lemon juice, worcestershire sauce and Tabasco in a medium bowl; divide into 4 equal portions, shaping each into a 1/2-inch thick patty.
Coat each patty with 1 tablespoon crackers; cover and chill 20 minutes.
Heat 2 teaspoons oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat until hot; add patties and cook 5 minutes on each side or until lightly browned.
Serve salmon cakes with flavored mayonnaise.
Notes: I actually followed this recipe pretty closely. I used bread crumbs instead of saltines and used fresh salmon filets.
