Staying at home means avoiding the nail salon, and as someone who always smudges regular nail polish (seriously, how is it possible that they can still be ready to smear by the time I go to bed?), I have a newfound appreciation for the variety of modern manicure solutions available. I previously reviewed Ohora's at-home gel strips , which are a great option for hassle-free designs. Another option that I really like, even though I am far from a pro, is dip powder. Dip powder is essentially an acrylic powder that contains pigments or glitters. You purchase a set of liquids that can be used with the powders of your choice for a quick and clean manicure that requires very little dry time. Dip powder is easily accessible, and if you're new to dip nails in general, I'd suggest a reasonably priced option for practice. I started with the Lavender Violets brand on Amazon, which comes with a set of powders + all the liquids you need for a beginner. I did find that the longevit
Do you like Sriracha? Do you like ramen?
Sure, you can add hot sauce directly to your broth, but then the soup can be a little like drinking hot sauce if you're not careful... without any relief between bites. If you want to separate the flavors a bit-- or maybe you have a picky eater that can't handle the heat-- then this Sriracha nugget noodle bowl is for you!
As a bonus, it's GREAT for clearing things up if you're a little stuffy, without being too overwhelming. Definitely save this one for cold and flu season!
All quantities can be adjusted for your needs and preferences.
Sriracha Nugget Noodle Bowl
Ingredients:
For the chicken nuggets:
- 2-3 chicken breasts, cut into bite sized pieces
- 1 egg
- splash of milk
- flour for coating
- 1/4-1/2 cup Sriracha
- 2 TBSP butter
For the ramen:
- 8 oz pad thai noodles
- 6 cups chicken broth (you can also use water and boullion)
- 2-3 TBSP soy sauce
- vegetables (your choice, I used a frozen soup mix for convenience)
Directions:
- Preheat the oven to 425 degrees and grease a baking pan.
- Start soaking your noodles, if needed.
- Mix the egg and a splash of milk in a small bowl, and, in a separate bowl, add some flour with salt and pepper if desired.
- Dip the chicken pieces in the egg mixture, then in the flour, and place in a single layer on a baking sheet.
- Bake in the oven for 15-20 minutes until done.
- While the chicken is baking, add the broth, vegetables, and soy sauce to a large pot on the stove. Bring to a boil, and then add the noodles until done.
- Mix the Sriracha and butter and heat to melt, either in the microwave or in a pan on the stove.
- Coat the chicken nuggets in the Sriracha sauce mixture-- set some aside if you need any "non spicy" pieces!
- Serve ramen topped with the nuggets. Leftover nuggets are great with ranch!
