1/3 cup soy sauce
2 tbsp fresh lime juice
2 tbsp sesame oil
2 tbsp minced, peeled fresh ginger

Directions
Heat 2 tablespoons oil in heavy large saucepan over medium heat. Add
garlic and jalapenos; saute until tender but not brown, about 3 mins.
Add the coconut milk, peanut butter, soy sauce, lime juice, sesame
oil, ginger, honey and tabasco and mix well, until smooth. Bring to a
simmer. Take off heat and season (if needed) with salt and pepper. (I
added pepper, but didn't think it needed salt!) You can stop at this
point, if desired and refrigerate for up to 24 hours. Heat 1 tbsp.
oil in a heavy skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red pepper,
mushrooms and green onions and cook for about 3 mins. Add the
skinless, boneless chicken and cook until done. (About 5 mins.) Add
this to the sauce. Cook the pasta in a pot of salted, boiling water
until tender, but not overdone. Drain. Bring sauce to a simmer and
pour over pasta. Toss well until coated. Serve.

The History of Recipes
Recipes as an idea can be found way back into ancient history, in fact as far as the Egyptians, and maybe further still. In practice though, generally, these early recipes were just very simple pictorial, hieroglyphic or cunieform instructions for meal preparation.
Much later, in Roman times a man called Apicius assembled a number of scripts which described recipes enjoyed by wealthy roman citizens. In his publication, he tells us how the meals of wealthy Romans were separated into appetizers, main meal and desserts, a very modern way of dining. He also tells us how the cooks of his times made use of many different aromatic flavours, including a few that will be familiar to modern cooks such as thyme, fennel and dill. Later on, in the 15th century, the Crusaders brought back many new foods, spices and herbs from Arab countries, including coriander, basil and rosemary. The introduction of these new culinary ideas created an explosion in books on cookery, most of which still exist in private collections. The TV revolution brought us celebrity chefs and the accompanying recipe books. And that neatly brings us to the present day and the invention of computers and the internet, allowing everyone to search through massive numbers of recipes like those on sites such as the one you are reading now. |
