My Culinary Adventures: Peanut Butter Vegetable Chow Mein

Last year in July during training we all had volunteer visits, in which we traveled by ourselves to stay with currently serving PCVs at their sites for a few days.  I traveled south to the department of Choluteca with a couple other trainees.  The blog post about that trip is here.  Our host PCVs made a very interesting dinner for us, and I was surprised at how good it tasted, given the ingredients!  I finally got the recipe from them a few months ago and recreated the meal with a few changes on my own.  Mmmmm!  



Recipe

Ingredients
Broccoli, broken into florets and stem pieces
Green beans, cut
Carrots, cubed
Olive Oil
Onions, sliced
Garlic, minced
Orange Juice
Lemon Juice
Peanut Butter
Chow Mein Noodles

You can really put whatever vegetables you want in this.  I've used cabbage, peas, onions and carrots before.  


  1. Boil about an inch of water in a saucepan and add all veggies except onions.  Steam until tender.
  2. In heated frying pan, add olive oil, onions and garlic and sauté until soft.
  3. Add steamed veggies, orange and lemon juice, and peanut butter and stir.
  4. Cook noodles until tender and add to vegetable pan, stirring until well mixed.
