chicken "non-pasta, pasta like" Chinese style

I don't know you, but me, when someone tells me "you can't it this" I want it the most. Pasta always reminds me of home meals and I must say in a diet like Dukan  is the thing that I miss the most. So I came up with a solution, as we can not eat the real thing, let's eat something that looks similar. Dr. Dukan has specifically allow surimi on the diet and even though I was reticent at the beginning I must say that with it I have found a great ally. It is experimenting with it that so many of my "non-pasta, pasta like" dishes have come to be. Let me introduce you to my chicken "non-pasta, pasta like" Chinese style.

  
INGREDIENTES

Ingredient for one really hungry or two not som much, suitable for pure proteine day.
  • Chicken breast ( I use the full breast)
  • 8 surimi sticks 
  • soya sauce 
  • garlic powder 
  • cooking spray (optional)
INSTRUCTIONS

Gather your ingredients as you can see there are not many to grab.


Get the chicken and cut it in cubes, I dont like the pieces two small but you can do it as you feel more confortable.


Get a small bol and add some soya sauce (make sure your is not too salty otherwise will be more salt than taste) and you chicken cubes and let then rest for a couple of minutes so the chicken gets all the flavor of the soya sauce.


While your chicken is soaking take your surimi sticks and unroll and break them into little long pieces so they look like small spaghettis. They are tiny, but... nothing is perfect.

 
Then it is pan time, I normally use a wok, just because it is confortable for me, but any pan would do. Put some cooking spray if you want (I do) and add the marinated chicken. This is the point that I add the garlic powder, but I must confess that I crazy about garlic you don't need to do it.


 When they become pink you should add the surimi piece, be aware that at this time the pan can be a little bit dry and you might want to add either some more soya sauce or a bit of water.


 Stir every once in a while to make your it doesn't burn at the bottom of you pan and let the surimi take all the juices.


And that is it, you have made yourself a "non-pasta, pasta like" dish in no time for proteine day that is tasty and fast. 


Make sure to serve hot !!
ENJOY ;)
