Grace’s 15 minute Entrée

1. Cook meat patties (or stir cooked shrimp) with spaghetti sauce together in a pan, may put chopped fresh tomato or/and chopped fresh mushroom if desire. When done, pull over pasta and top with parmesan cheese.

2. Sprinkle pepper and a little bit salt on both sides of salmon, pan fry 4 minutes on each side; serve with rice.

3. Put cooked grilled chicken in a pot; add BBQ or teriyaki sauce (approximately ½-1 Tbsp/piece of chicken depending on your taste). Use a separate bowl:  ¼ -1/3 cup water with 1 Tbsp of cornstarch, mix it well; then pull into the pot. Put it on high heat for few minutes until the chicken is warm and the sauce is thickened; serve it with rice.

4. A lazy day: Cooked meat patties and serve with hamburger buns; Or warm up grilled chicken and serve with bread.
