Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 14

8 ounces thin wheat somen noodles
2 tablespoons olive oil, or as needed
2 tablespoons toasted sesame oil
1 medium sweet Vidalia or yellow onion, diced small
1 baby bok choy, trimmed and sliced in 1 1/2-inch wide sections
1 pound ground pork sausage (I used regular, spicy may be substituted)
1 large bell pepper, sliced into thin strips (I used yellow but another color may be substituted)
1 1/2 cups shredded carrots (use store bought in a bag to save time)
1 medium broccoli crown, trimmed into bite-sized florets
1/4 cup reduced sodium soy sauce, or as desired
1 to 4 tablespoons chili garlic sauce, or as desired (start with 1/2 tablespoon if you're sensitive to heat)
1 to 3 teaspoons ground ginger, or as desired (start with 1 teaspoon if you're sensitive to heat)
salt and pepper, optional and to taste (likely not necessary)
sesame seeds, optional for garnishing

Steps:

  • To a medium pot, bring water to a boil over high heat, cook the noodles according to package directions (likely 90 to 120 seconds), drain, rinse; set aside. While you're waiting for the water to boil and the noodles to cook, move on to the next steps.
  • To a large, high-sided skillet, add the oils, onion, boy choy, and saute over medium-high heat for about 5 minutes, or until vegetables are beginning to soften; stir frequently.
  • Add the pork, bell pepper, carrots, and cook over medium high heat for about 5 to 7 minutes, or until pork is cooked through and all vegetables are tender. Crumble pork as it cooks and stir frequently to ensure even cooking. At any point in cooking add additional olive oil if necessary.
  • Add the broccoli and stir to combine.
  • Add the cooked noodles, soy sauce, chili garlic sauce, ginger, and stir to combine. Turn the heat to low and allow the food to simmer for about 3 to 4 minutes, or until broccoli is as crisp tender as desired. Stir thoroughly to ensure food is coated evenly with sauces.
  • Taste the dish and if desired add salt or pepper (I did not need either), extra soy sauce, or chili garlic sauce for additional spiciness.
  • Optionally garnish with sesame seeds and serve immediately.

CHINESE CHILLED NOODLES



Chinese Chilled Noodles image

Provided by Alex Guarnaschelli

Categories     appetizer

Time 3h35m

Yield 8 to 10 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

7 tablespoons sesame oil
7 tablespoons black soy sauce
3 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
4 tablespoons granulated sugar
1 tablespoon kosher salt, plus additional for cooking pasta
2 teaspoons Fresh Chile Oil, recipe follows
12 scallions, roots trimmed, green and white parts thinly sliced, divided
1 pound 1/16-inch long thin noodles, regular spaghetti, or fresh Chinese egg noodles
8 fresh red cayenne chile peppers
2 fresh red Scotch bonnet chile peppers
1 cup canola oil
1 teaspoon kosher salt

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine the sesame oil, black soy sauce, balsamic, sugar, salt, and Chile Oil. Whisk to blend. Stir in half of the sliced scallions. Set aside in the refrigerator.
  • When the water boils, season with salt until the water tastes like seawater. Plunge the pasta in the boiling water and cook, 3 to 5 minutes, until al dente. Place a colander in the sink. Remove the pot from the heat and pour off most of the water into the colander, catching any pasta as the water pours out.
  • Remove the colander from the sink and fill the pot still containing the pasta with cold water. You want the pasta to cool quickly by being submerged in the cold water. This will assure a chewy texture.
  • Drain the pasta thoroughly in the colander, shaking it a few times to remove excess water covering the pasta. Spread a kitchen towel on a flat surface and turn the noodles onto the towel. Gently use a second towel to dry the noodles. Removing the excess moisture assures that the sauce will have its proper flavoring effect on the noodles. Any water from cooking the pasta dilutes the noodles and makes them taste more like water than anything else. Gingerly transfer them the bowl with the sauce. Use your hands to mix the pasta and the sauce, taking care that all of the pasta gets coated. Cover with plastic and refrigerate until ready to serve.
  • These noodles can marinate for a few hours or overnight before serving. Serve them cold, tossing them again in the sauce just before serving, and garnish with the remaining scallions.
  • Remove the stems from the chiles then place in a food processor and blend until they are completely broken down.
  • Use a rubber spatula and scrape into a medium sized saute pan. Add the oil and stir well. Set the pan over medium-low heat. Gently warm up the oil slowly so it draws out the color and flavor of the chiles. Stir well and season with salt. Once the oil is barely simmering, cook for 5 to 6 minutes. hut off heat and allow to cool. Store in an airtight container until ready to use.

This basic formula is easily adapted, and the components pack up easily for a work lunch or another night's dinner. To make this vegetarian, substitute semi-firm tofu, cut into 1/2-inch cubes, for the pork, and substitute a few tablespoons of soy sauce for the fish sauce.

Cold Soba Noodles with Pork Tenderloin image

Provided by lutzflcat

Categories     Noodles

Time 1h25m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 18

6 ounces dried soba noodles
3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
3 tablespoons warm water
2 tablespoons sesame oil, divided
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
2 teaspoons Sriracha sauce, or more to taste
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 medium lime, zested and juiced
1 teaspoon crushed garlic
1 teaspoon minced fresh ginger root
1 small red bell pepper, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons teriyaki sauce
1 teaspoon rice vinegar
½ teaspoon red pepper flakes
6 ounces pork tenderloin
1 tablespoon chopped peanuts
1 tablespoon sliced green onion
1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add soba noodles, and cook according to package directions, about 4 minutes. Drain noodles, rinse under cold water, and set aside to cool.
  • Whisk peanut butter, water, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, hoisin sauce, Sriracha, soy sauce, lime zest and juice, garlic, and ginger together in a small bowl for the dressing. Pour dressing over noodles. Add red bell pepper and toss to combine. Refrigerate until well chilled, at least 1 hour.
  • Stir teriyaki sauce, rice vinegar, and red pepper flakes together in a bowl until well combined. Cut pork tenderloin into very thin slices, about 1/8 inch thick, then cut each slice in half. Add pork to marinade, cover bowl, and chill in the refrigerator for 30 minutes or longer.
  • Remove pork from refrigerator. Heat a skillet over medium-high heat, and heat the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil until hot. Add pork, separating pieces to cover the skillet's bottom. Cook the pork, occasionally stirring, until cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes. Your time will depend on how thinly the pork is cut, but try not to overcook to retain tenderness.
  • Remove noodles from the refrigerator and give them a good stir. Divide the noodles among 4 plates or bowls. Evenly distribute the pork on top of the noodles and garnish with peanuts, green onion and sesame seeds before serving.
