Anne Kennedy’s Easy Kitchen-to-Dinner Table Special

Anne Kennedy’s “Simple Favorite and Healthy 20-Minute Dinner”

Thanks so much Anne for sharing. I love not only how simple and fresh this looks, but so nutritious, too. I think we’ll give it a go tonight!

Anne writes, “This is just homemade chicken stock (or buy if you don’t have any), to which we add Chinese Five Spice, soy sauce and a bit of brown sugar to taste.  Bring to a boil and toss in handfuls of whatever veggies you like.  After a few seconds, add either thinly sliced chicken, pork, shrimp, or fish, turn down the heat,  cover for a minute or so, then eat.  Make as thin or thick as you like.  Endless variations include adding curry, sliced figs, apples and other veggies.  Yum.”

Visit Anne’s fascinating blog Haddock and Dill about mid-20th century American and Japanese domestic life, inspired by a forty-year written correspondence between her mom and grandmother.

*Chinese Five Spice ~ If, like me, you did not know about Chinese Five Spice powder, wiki says, ” Five-spice powder is a mixture of five spices used primarily in Chinese cuisine  but also used in other Asian and Arabic cookery. While there are many variants, a common mix is: star anise, fennel, cloves, cinnamon, and Sichuan pepper.”
