Recently I ran across a blog/newsletter entitled GOOP authored by Gwyneth Paltrow. Sharing with you as you may enjoy the recipes offered through GOOP. The recipes are very healthy! I've also enjoyed the fashion writings and agree that fashion can be the fun frivolity that can really cheer a girl up (when used in moderation with her budget)! Previously posted was a Turkey Ragu recipe and it was simply delicious! Some of GOOP's postings contain a spiritual element and I feel it necessary to preface that my spiritual beliefs are Christian. My next creative dish may just be...
I'll post at a later date how the dish turned out!
I (Gwyneth) recently found this recipe in Food & Wine magazine. It’s from Charles Phan, who runs the great Vietnamese restaurant, Slanted Door, in San Francisco. When I make it, I use a little less sugar, a lot more cilantro and organic chicken breasts (I prefer the texture of white meat in this preparation). This literally takes minutes, is so easy and tastes like what you always imagine take-out will taste like (but sadly never does). Serve this with jasmine or brown rice and stir-fried or steamed vegetables.
SERVES: 4 generously TIME: 10 minutes
2/3 cup dark brown sugar (unrefined)
1/3 cup fish sauce
1/3 cup rice vinegar
1/2 cup water
2 teaspoons finely grated garlic
2 teaspoons finely grated ginger
2 teaspoons coarsely ground pepper
1 or 2 fresh Thai chilis (to your taste!), halved
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 shallots, thinly sliced
2 pounds organic boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into small pieces (1/2”)
2 tablespoons coarsely chopped cilantro
In a small bowl, combine the sugar, fish sauce, vinegar, water, garlic, ginger, pepper and chili and reserve.In a large skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat and cook the shallots until softened and a bit brown, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken and stir-fry, browning it all over, about a minute. Add the sugar mixture and simmer over high heat until the chicken is totally cooked through, about 6 minutes. Stir in the cilantro and serve.

That looks fabulous! I am going to put it on our *menu* for next week. I'll let you know how it turns out!
Yum! I am so glad you shared this site as I had been thinking about it!
I fixed this for dinner Monday night, and it was delicious! I posted about it on my blog today.
