Hi!I'm Dianta.This blog was created so that I could easily chronicle my experience attending culinary school, track my progress, and hopefully inspire other individuals to follow their own dreams. I start culinary school on January 4th,2010. Prior to enrolling in culinary school I spent 1.5 years at a junior college..only to realize that I was on the wrong career path. I would appreciate positive feedback and would like to hear from others in similar situations.

  • This has to be one of the easiest and tastiest dishes I have ever made ( don't get discouraged by all the ingredients, its common in Asian Cuisine)
1 each Chicken Breast, boneless, skinless, diced
2 oz Garlic, minced
1 tsp Ginger, minced
1 tsp Scallions, chopped
4 oz Broccoli, cut into florets
3 oz Chinese cabbage, shredded

¼ each Red Bell Pepper, julienne
¼ each Yellow Bell Pepper, julienne
1 tsp Cilantro, chopped
1 tbl Cornstarch

1 tsp Sesame Oil
2 oz Sherry
1 oz Hoisin Sauce
1 tsp Chile Paste {or 4 ea. Dried red chiles}

3 oz Dried Lo Mein Noodles
As Needed Kosher Salt
As Needed Black Peppercorn, ground


1. Season the wok with hot oil and assemble all ingredients for the stir fry.
2. Bring a sauce pot of seasoned water to the boil. Add the noodles to the water and cook them until just tender. Drain and reserve.
3. Add the diced chicken to the wok and stir fry until lightly browned on the outside. Reserve the chicken.
4. Add the broccoli, peppers, mushrooms, cabbage, garlic, ginger, and scallions. Stir fry for a minute.
5. Create a slurry with the chicken stock and jus from the mushrooms and the cornstarch and add it to the wok.
