My, make up my own dinner day

So its in between paydays and I only got so much from the store dinner wise. We've already had a couple fend for yourself dinners. I made my own version of this Aussie chicken last night which was good. I'll post a link to it. But tonight I'm going to try to not find a recipe online and make up my own. I've got chicken, broccoli, carrots and rice along with quite a bit of Asian seasoning. Especially sesame oil. Love that stuff. Oh and I always use jasmine rice. Like the sticky rice you get with take out. Yum!

So I used about 8/9 chicken tenderloins. Cut up in to bite size pieces. Then added a 1/8 cup of sesame oil. 2 Tbsp of rice wine vinegar. 1/2 tsp of ginger minced and the same for some garlic. Cooked the chicken till it was just done through. Added frozen broccoli and carrots. And 1/2 cup of reduced sodium soy sauce. I like my sauce thick  so I added a tsp of corn starch to 1/4 cup of cold water. Pour in to sauce. Boil one minute. Turn low and simmer till veggies are the constantancy of your liking.

It was really good! My picky girls even loved it!

Here is the Aussie Chicken I made. I left out the cheese, used real onion, shredded, and used light mayo, not as much mustard cause I ran out, and didn't use the parsley.


Sorry the pic is side ways I don't know how to fix it.
This is the Asian Chicken.
