After weeks of festive meals, this stir-fry is exactly what we need – quick, colorful, 
and full of flavor without the fuss. It’s light enough for a midweek dinner but still feels 
special. My husband loves making this for dinner, and I love letting him. The orange 
juice and honey give the sauce a gentle sweetness, while the soy sauce and ginger 
add that satisfying savory balance.

Yields four servings.

Ingredients: 

1 kilo chicken breast, cut into strips

2 or 3 tbsp. olive oil

1 or 2 onions, sliced

1 tbsp. crushed garlic

1 zucchini, sliced into thin strips

2 assorted peppers, chopped

½ cup orange juice

3 tbsp. soy sauce

1 tsp. grated fresh ginger (or ½ tsp. ground ginger)

3 tbsp. honey

½ tsp. ground black pepper

Directions: 

In a bowl, mix the chicken strips with the orange juice, honey, ginger, soy sauce, and black pepper. Let marinate in the fridge for at least 20 minutes or overnight for deeper flavor.

In a large frying pan or wok, heat olive oil and sauté the onions until lightly golden. Add the garlic and cook for another minute, then pour in the chicken along with the marinade. Stir occasionally over medium heat for 10–15 minutes.

Add the chopped peppers and zucchini slices and continue cooking for about five more minutes until the chicken is cooked through.

Serve over rice and enjoy a simple, flavorful meal.


Enjoy!

Words & Brush Recipe Corner: Aunt Debbie’s sprinkle cookies

Aunt Debbie’s sprinkle cookies

By Henny Shor, Jerusalem Post, September 27, 2025

These cookies always remind me of my Aunt Debbie. She baked them for every party she hosted, alongside dozens of her other incredible dishes. I can still picture myself running into her home and heading straight for the cookie plate just to make sure I’d grab a few before they disappeared. Buttery, crisp, and melt-in-your-mouth good, they were already irresistible; but it was the cheerful sprinkle of colors on top that made them feel truly special.

I love bringing these cookies into the sukkah, not only because they’re delicious but because they look as festive as the decorations themselves. They add a playful, decorative touch to the table, and for me they carry the sweetness of cherished family memories.

Yields 2-3 dozen cookies.

Ingredients:-

1 cup flour

½ cup confectioners’ sugar

½ cup cornstarch

1½ sticks margarine or butter

Melted chocolate, for dipping (optional)

Sprinkles or chopped nuts, for decorating (optional)

Directions:-

In a mixing bowl, combine the flour, confectioners’ sugar, cornstarch, and margarine or butter, blending with an electric mixer until a soft dough forms. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 1 hour. When ready to bake, preheat the oven to 170°C (350°F). Roll the dough into logs about 1 inch thick, then cut into 3-inch pieces. Arrange the cookies on a baking sheet, leaving space between them, as they will spread while baking. Bake for 12-15 minutes, until the edges are just turning golden. Allow the cookies to cool completely before decorating.

For a festive finish, dip one end of each cooled cookie into melted chocolate and top with sprinkles or nuts before the chocolate sets. Let them harden on a wire rack or tray, then serve – preferably in the sukkah, where their cheerful colors fit right in.

Enjoy!

Garlic potato rounds. (credit: HENNY SHOR)

Yields 6 servings.

Ingredients:-

6 whole potatoes, parboiled until just tender

3 Tbsp. minced garlic

2 tsp. kosher salt

½ tsp. ground black pepper

2 Tbsp. olive oil

1½ Tbsp. parsley flakes (fresh or dried)

Vegetable oil (if frying)

Directions:-

Slice the boiled potatoes into 1-2 cm (½–¾ inch) thick discs and place them in a large mixing bowl. Add the minced garlic, salt, pepper, olive oil, and parsley, tossing gently until all the discs are evenly coated.

To fry: Heat a generous layer of vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Working in batches, fry the potato discs for 2-3 minutes on each side, until golden brown and crisp. Transfer to a plate lined with paper towels to drain.

To bake (lighter option): Arrange the potato discs in a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in a preheated oven at 200°C (400°F) for 20-25 minutes, turning once halfway through, until golden and crisp. Serve hot, sprinkled with a little extra parsley if desired.

Enjoy!
