DRAGON NOODLES



Dragon Noodles image

This is my absolute FAVORITE when I go to Shakespeare's Tavern in Atlanta. It is served chilled but it has a bite to it so it is the perfect cool, but warm dish. It is very light like a salad almost. I like to trade out the egg noodles for thin spaghetti noodles.

Time 30m

Yield 2-3 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup sesame oil
1 tablespoon Chinese chili sauce
2 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons juice from pickled ginger
1 1/2 tablespoons lemon juice
2 1/2 tablespoons japanese rice vinegar
2 1/2 tablespoons granulated sugar
1/2 teaspoon kosher salt
1/2 lb very thin fresh Chinese egg noodles
1 grated lemon, rind of
2 tablespoons black sesame seeds, toasted in a dry, heavy skillet until fragrant
3/4 cup thinly sliced scallion
grated red radish
julienne scallion (both green and white)
toasted black sesame seed

Steps:

  • In a bowl combine the oil, chili sauce, soy sauce, pickled ginger juice, lemon juice, rice vinegar, sugar and salt. Whisk to blend and set the bowl aside.
  • In a colander fluff the noodles to separate and untangle the strands. Bring a large saucepan of water to a rolling boil. Add the noodles and swish them gently with chopsticks. Let them cook for 2 minutes or until the noodles are tender but still have some bite. Drain them, plunge them briefly into ice water, then drain again. Shake the colander to remove excess moisture and transfer the noodles to a bowl.
  • Whisk the dressing again to combine it. Toss the noodles with just enough of the dressing to moisten them well, using your fingers to coat and separate the strands. Let the noodles sit for 10 minutes.
  • Taste the noodles. If they seem dry, add a bit more dressing and toss again. Add the lemon rind, black sesame seeds and scallion rings and toss well.
  • Taste the noodles again. They should be bright and sparkly. Cover them tightly and refrigerate up to one day.
  • To serve: Bring the noodles to room temperature. Mound the noodles in a bowl or twirl them in individual bowls. Garnish each dish with grated red radish, scallion and black sesame seeds.
  • Serves 2 or 3 as a main course; 4 to 6 as part of a multi-course meal.

CAFé CHINA'S DAN DAN NOODLES



Café China's Dan Dan Noodles image

Also known as dan dan mian, these noodles have regional variations - you're likely to find a peanut-laden, vegetarian version in Taiwan - but this recipe comes from Café China, a beloved Sichuan restaurant in New York City. Popularized in Chengdu, this dish takes its name from the Mandarin verb "dan," which refers to how vendors once carried the ingredients, hanging from bamboo poles balanced on their shoulders. The dish builds on a complex chile sauce that is more rich and robust than fiery. Though the ingredient list is lengthy, the process is clear-cut: Get the water boiling for your noodles while you prepare the sauce. Sauté the pork, seasoned with suimiyacai (preserved mustard greens), boil your noodles, and dinner is served.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/2 cup canola or vegetable oil
1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely chopped (about 2 tablespoons)
3 whole star anise
4 teaspoons red-pepper flakes
2 teaspoons ground chile, such as cayenne
2 teaspoons fennel seeds
8 whole cloves
1/4 teaspoon ground cinnamon
1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil
3/4 pound ground pork
1/3 packed cup suimiyacai (Sichuan preserved mustard greens; see Tip)
2 tablespoons mushroom-flavored dark soy sauce (or regular soy sauce)
4 teaspoons Chinese sesame paste or tahini, whisked to combine
4 teaspoons Maggi seasoning, or use soy sauce
6 ounces snow pea shoots
16 ounces fresh Shanghai-style wheat noodles, or other fresh noodles
Thinly sliced scallion greens, for garnish

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to boil for the noodles.
  • Prepare the chile oil: In a medium skillet, heat the 1/2 cup oil over high. Add the ginger, star anise, red-pepper flakes, ground chile, fennel seeds, cloves and cinnamon to a medium heatproof bowl. Once the oil is shimmering, about 3 to 5 minutes, pour it over the spices. (The mixture will bubble vigorously.) Set aside for 10 minutes. Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve, pressing to extract as much seasoned oil as possible. Makes 1/3 cup chile oil.
  • Prepare the pork: In a wok or nonstick skillet, heat 1 tablespoon canola or vegetable oil over high. Add the pork and cook, breaking it up the pork and stirring constantly with a wooden spoon, until browned and cooked through, about 4 minutes. Add the suimiyacai and stir quickly until just combined. Set aside. (The goal here is simply to integrate the mustard greens; there is no need to cook them.)
  • Once chile oil has cooled, whisk in the soy sauce, sesame paste and Maggi seasoning. Set out four individual serving bowls, and add 2 tablespoons of chile sauce to each.
  • Once the water boils, add the snow pea shoots to blanch just until wilted, about 1 minute, then use a slotted spoon to transfer them to a bowl. Add noodles to the boiling water and cook until just softened and tender, about 4 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water just to cool slightly.
  • Using tongs, divide the noodles and pea shoots among the bowls. (It's OK if the noodles are dripping some water; a little extra moisture is ideal so the noodles remain glossy but not sticky.) Top each with pork mixture, sprinkle with sliced scallions and serve immediately.
  • Mix the noodles to coat with chile sauce before eating, and serve with additional sauce at the table.

Dragon Noodles Recipe - (4.5/5) image

Provided by TrayH

Number Of Ingredients 9

8 oz. linguine pasta
2 Tbls. butter
1/4 tsp. crushed red pepper - I used 1/4 tsp. cayenne pepper instead
1 large egg - I used 2 large eggs
1 Tbls. brown sugar - I used 2 Tbls. brown sugar
1 Tbsl. soy sauce - I used 2 Tbls. soy sauce
1 Tbls. Sriracha (rooster sauce)
1 sliced green onion - I used 2 sliced green onions
1 handful fresh cilantro - chopped (optional) I used parsley

Steps:

  • * Cook linguine according to package. * While noodles are cooking prepare the sauce by mixing together the brown sugar, soy sauce and sriracha in a small bowl and set aside to be used at the very end. * In a large skillet melt butter over medium/low heat. * Add the crushed red pepper or cayenne pepper to the butter as it melts. * Whisk the eggs in a small bowl and then add it to the skillet with the melted butter. * Stir and cook as if making scrambled eggs. Then turn off heat. * When linguine is done cooking, drain and add to the skillet with the cooked eggs. * Also add the prepared sauce mixture. * Turn the heat back onto low and stir everything to coat well and evaporate excess liquid. * Sprinkle with green onions and cilantro or parsley. * Serve warm.

Tips:

  • For perfectly cooked noodles, use a large pot of boiling water and add the noodles gradually. Make sure to stir the noodles gently to prevent them from sticking together. Cook the noodles for the amount of time specified on the package, or until they are al dente.
  • To make the sauce, use a combination of soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil, and Chinese five-spice powder. You can also add other ingredients to the sauce, such as garlic, ginger, or chili peppers, to taste.
  • If you don't have Chinese dragon noodles, you can use other types of noodles, such as ramen noodles or spaghetti. However, Chinese dragon noodles have a unique texture and flavor that works particularly well in this dish.
  • When assembling the dragon noodles, be sure to layer the noodles and sauce evenly. You can also add other toppings to the noodles, such as shredded chicken, shrimp, or vegetables.
  • Serve the dragon noodles immediately after assembling them. The noodles are best when eaten fresh.

Conclusion:

Chinese dragon noodles are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. The noodles are coated in a flavorful sauce and topped with your favorite toppings. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
