Teriyaki Chicken Toss With Spaghettini Pasta

Submitted by HOUSEMANAGER Charle

"This is bar none the best stir fry I have ever tasted! All the credit goes to Sandy Richard and her cookbook Life's on Fire Cooking for the Rushed. I have strayed slightly from the original recipe but all for the sake of taste. The one thing that I'm a bit of a stickler on is that you use the V-H brand of honey-garlic sauce. If you're in an area that doesn't carry it use your choice of the next best brand."

This was awesome! I was a bit skeptical about honey-garlic sauce and spaghetti but it was really delicious! I didn't have zucchini so I left it out, and I used cumin instead of curry (1 heaping tsp) because I prefer it but otherwise made it as written. I used flax spaghetti too. My 2 year old asked me "Mommy like it?" and when I said yes she beamed and said "Me I like it too! Me too!" and continued to shovel it into her mouth as fast as she could lol My DH hasn't tried it yet but there are plenty of leftovers for him and for my lunch tomorrow.

I love, love, love this recipe. I used to have the cookbook but my overzealous toddler happily destroyed it and I haven't purchased another yet. Thank you so much for posting this recipe. It is so very simple to make and so delicious, I actually make a double recipe and then I have some left over to take in my lunch the next couple of days as well, it travel's and store's well.

This is a great dish! I have made this dish before from Sandy's cookbook and when I was going to add it to 'Zaar it was already there. We made it again tonight and loved it. This is definitely one to try.
