I LOVE Stir Fry! I love going to the Japanese Steakhouse but that is a rare treat. To help cut down on cost, we do stir fry at home once a month!
When we find chicken or beef or shrimp on markdown, we buy it for stir fry! Add in onions, zucchini, fried rice, fried egg and you have yourself a yummy meal- but WAIT!!! One of the reasons why I love the Japanese Steakhouse (besides the fire show and spinning egg that the guy tosses up into his hat) is the YUM YUM sauce- white sauce, shrimp sauce, whatever you want to call it- it is YUMMMMMM YUMMMMMMM and I LOVE it!
What do we do when we make stir fry at home? We make Yum Yum sauce too! Allow 24 hours for the best taste, but I have been known to do it a couple of hours ahead of time.
Mix together:
- 1 teaspoon tomato paste
- 1 tablespoon melted butter
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder
- 1/4 teaspoon paprika
- 1 1/4 cups mayonnaise
- 1 teaspoon white sugar
- 1 pinch cayenne pepper
- 1/4 cup water
Cover with plastic wrap and put in the fridge! EASY!!!!
Do you stir fry at home and do you make Yum Yum sauce too?

| Baked Chicken and Corn Empanadas |
|
|
Recipe type: Entree
Prep time: 30 mins
Cook time: 1 hour 15 mins
Total time: 1 hour 45 mins
Serves: 6
These empanadas are flaky and buttery. The chicken and corn filling has some spice from the jalapeno and some creaminess from the sour cream. Alternatively, you can fry them for a little more crunch. You are welcome to sub in biscuit or crescent dough if you are short on time. Also, feel free to make ahead or make extra and freeze. They will be ready for you on a night when you don’t feel like cooking!
- Ingredients:
- 1 egg, plus 1 egg yolk (divided)
- 2/3 cups water – ice cold
- 2 1/2 teaspoons vinegar
- 2 1/4 cups flour
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 1 stick of butter – cut into cubes and put into freezer until ready to use
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 2 chicken breasts
- 1/2 onion, chopped
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 jalapeno, seeded, chopped
- 1/2 cup frozen corn, thawed
- 2 tablespoons sour cream
- 2 tablespoons cilantro
- See Below for Detailed Instructions and Pictures!

Preheat the oven to 400 degrees.
Combine wet ingredients in a bowl. Refrigerate until ready to use.
Sift the flour and salt together in large bowl. Add in the cold butter and, using a fork or dough cutter,
mix the butter into the flour. The flour should resemble coarse corn meal. Add in the wet ingredients and stir until just combined.
Pour the dough out onto a floured surface and knead the dough just until the dough comes together. Try not to overwork the dough. Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and refrigerate for at least 1 hour.
On a plastic cutting board, cut the chicken breasts into cubes.

In a medium sized pan, heat the canola oil over medium high heat. Carefully add in the chicken breasts cubes. Allow to sear by not tossing the chicken for a few minutes. Toss the chicken and season with salt/pepper to taste. Add in the onion, garlic and jalapenos. Stir for a few minutes until the onions are tender. Remove from heat and pour into a bowl. Add in the sour cream and cilantro.
Stir all the ingredients until combined. Taste and season accordingly. If any liquid accumulates at the bottom of the bowl once you start filling, either pour it off or use a slotted spoon.
Roll out the empanada dough to desired thickness. I like to make my empanada dough thin, so it will not be too gummy. Cut 6 inch circles out of the dough. You can use a biscuit cutter, a tin can or even a cup. Place a small amount of the filling into the center of the round. Fold the dough over the filling and press the edges. Crimp the edges with a fork.
Repeat with remaining dough. Place the empanadas on a baking sheet lined with lightly greased aluminum foil. Brush the tops of the empanadas with the egg yolk. Place in the preheated oven for about 12 – 15 minutes or until lightly browned. Makes around 18 empanadas.
