Orange Chicken and Asian Noodles

I was looking at a cookbook today and I thought saw a picture of Asian noodles, green beans and chicken.  I decided that was definitely what I wanted to make for dinner.  But alas, I was just daydreaming the recipe was nothing close to what I wanted (it was pork, rice and green beans).  Never fear, I made the dinner I wanted regardless of the lack of a recipe.

I suggest that Samantha make this recipe.  It is a low FODMAPS recipe and very delicious.  

There are basically 4 components to this dinner.  The meat, the vegetables, the sauce, and the noodles.  Very simple.

Ingredients:

 1 lb of chicken
1/2 cup of tapicoa flour
2 eggs
1/2 lb of fresh green beans
2 stalks of celery, thinly sliced
1/4 cup of cut up green onions
1 tbs grated ginger
1 cup of orange juice
1/2 cup of vinegar (rice vinegar is the best)
3 tbs gluten-free soy sauce
1 tbs sugar
2 tsp cornstarch
6 oz of tapioca noodles
sea salt

Directions:

1. Soak the tapicoca noodles in hot water.  Leave them soaking until you need them at the very end.  They do not have to be perfectly soft when you finally use them, so you don't need to fuss over them after you soak them.

2. Cut up the chicken and put it in a bowl with the tapioca flour, eggs and some sea salt.   If you don't tolerate eggs just skip the eggs and have the chicken simply dredged in the flour and salt.  That works too.

3. Pan fry the chicken and set it aside in a bowl.

4. Stir fry the ginger with the green beans, celery, and green onions.  When they are done set them aside with the chicken.  If you can tolerate garlic, you could add some garlic to the vegetables too.

5. Drain the tapicoa noodles.

6. In the same pan that you cooked the vegetables, add the orange juice, vinegar, soy sauce, sugar and cornstarch.  You may want to taste the sauce to make sure it is sweet enough (I like it sweet).  As the sauce begins to boil and thicken add the tapioca noodles.  After the noodles are soft enough to eat, add the chicken and vegetables to the noodles.  Stir it up and eat it up.
