1/4 cup peanut butter

3 tablespoons soy sauce

1 tablespoon brown sugar

2 to 3 garlic cloves, minced

1 tablespoon sesame oil

1 tablespoon vegetable oil

Hot cooked rice or noodles

Optional: Tofu, sriracha

Directions

In a small bowl, combine 1/2 cup water, peanut butter, soy sauce and brown sugar until smooth; set aside. In a skillet or wok, stir-fry garlic in sesame and vegetable oils for 30 seconds. Add the chicken; stir-fry for 5 minutes or until no longer pink. Add the broccoli, carrots and bean sprouts; stir-fry for 5 minutes. Stir in the peanut butter mixture; cook and stir for 2-3 minutes or until sauce is smooth and broccoli is crisp-tender. Combine cornstarch and remaining water until smooth; gradually add to skillet.

Russ’s Drink Corner

Smooth Ambler Old Scout American Whiskey

Description

Old Scout American Whiskey is a union of two whiskies distilled from classic bourbon mash bills. One is aged in new oak barrels and the other matures in rejuvenated, re-charred bourbon casks. While this unique aging excuses the marriage from being called bourbon, it shares all of the character and drinkability you would expect from a whiskey on the brink of being one. Like the other Old Scout whiskeys, it is blended in limited, hand selected batches and without chill filtration.

Details

Mashbill: 36% Rye (Others undisclosed)

ABV: 49.5% (99 Proof)

Region: West Virginia (grains from Tennessee and elsewhere)

Color: Light amber

Nose: Green apple, butter cake, hint of dark roast coffee, graham crackers, hint of rye spice

Taste: Baking spices, Swedish gingerbread (pepparkakor), oak, sweet corn, a hint of mint, rye dryness on the tongue

Finish: Long fade of pepparkakor and a touch of oak bitterness fading into vanilla, mint and dry spice

Price: $35 (750ml)

Rating: 85
