Let’s continue the cooking with apples theme this week! (Check out last week’s Cinnamon Apple Bacon Muffins or Chicken Apple Salad )
This one sounds a bit strange, but is pretty good. It has a tangy, sweet taste that makes it a hit! This recipe can be adjusted easily…if you don’t like one ingredient and want to substitute.
It can also be made gluten free by using gluten free soy sauce and serving over rice instead of Chow Mein Noodles.
