CHEF JOHN'S DRUNKEN NOODLES
I did have a drink or three while making these, so I could enjoy them as the food gods intended, which is slightly drunk. At least that's the main theory on how this dish got its name. The other theory is that it got its name because at one point it was made with wine - but that's not as entertaining! Serve garnished with Thai basil and lime, if desired.

Steps:
- Soak rice noodles in hot water until flexible, 10 to 15 minutes. Occasionally move the noodles around to separate them. Drain the water and cover with a wet paper towel.
- Combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, Asian fish sauce, maple syrup, sugar, and water in a small bowl.
- Heat vegetable oil and sesame oil in a wok, or large frying pan, over medium-high heat. Stir-fry shallots, chile peppers, and garlic until shallots are soft, about 2 minutes. Move the mixture around the outside of the pan to create a space and add chicken. Sear for 1 minute, then combine with shallot mixture. Add Chinese broccoli stems and stir-fry until tender, about 2 minutes. Add Chinese broccoli leaves and stir-fry until wilted.
- Add drunken noodle sauce and sliced green onions and mix. Cook until sauce begins to simmer. Add soaked rice noodles and toss to coat until noodles have absorbed the sauce and are cooked through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
- Stir in Thai basil leaves until wilted. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve.

Steps:
- Whisk all the ingredients together, or combine in a small jar and shake well.
- Keeps in the refrigerator for 2 days.
Tips:
- Choose the Right Grapefruit: Select a grapefruit that is heavy for its size and has a smooth, blemish-free rind.
- Segment the Grapefruit Properly: Use a sharp knife to cut off the top and bottom of the grapefruit. Then, score the peel from top to bottom, following the natural segments of the fruit. Peel off the rind and remove the segments, discarding any seeds.
- Use a Variety of Citrus Fruits: Don't limit yourself to just grapefruit. Experiment with other citrus fruits like oranges, lemons, limes, and tangerines for a more complex flavor.
- Choose High-Quality Olive Oil: The olive oil you use will make a big difference in the taste of the dressing. Opt for an extra virgin olive oil that is fruity and flavorful.
- Let the Salad Marinate: Marinating the salad for at least 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld and develop. This will result in a more delicious and flavorful salad.
