Even with us being famished last night, we still made our version of a simple chicken and gnocchi dish. I mean, honestly, how much more simple can we get? While at the grocery store, I was assuming we were getting some microwavable or oven friendly dish that we just pop in and TADA - dinner! I mean we were super hungry. But instead, we ended up rummaging around the protein section and checking out some chicken. And then Kevin suggested making our own pasta - but we couldn't find any semolina. And then I lightbulbed - gnocchi!! Of course we had to make our pasta.
Soy Chicken
4 chicken thighs
1 tbsp high quality soy sauce
1 tsp Sambal
1 tsp shredded cilantro
- Marinate chicken, soy sauce, Sambal and cilantro for an hour
- Place on baking sheet and bake for 30 minutes at 375°F
Gnocchi
2 medium sized potatoes
1 cup flour
1 large egg
1 tbsp canola oil
1 pinch sea salt
1/2 cup pea shoots
- Boil potatoes until cooked through
- Press through a fine mesh strainer (or a ricer)
- Let potatoes cool to room temperature
- Add one egg and one cup of flour
- Mix until it forms a dough
- Roll out and cut into size desired
- Toss into salted boiling pot until gnocchi starts floating
- Take gnocchi out and shock in ice bath
- Pan fry gnocchi with some oil, salt and pea shoots
Finish dish with a poached egg and smoked sea salt. Serves 2!
