SPICY PAN-FRIED NOODLES



Spicy Pan-Fried Noodles image

Garlicky, gingery and as spicy as you dare to make it, this Asian-influenced pan-fried noodle dish comes together in minutes. Most of the ingredients are pantry staples, which means you can make it whenever you need a comforting noodle dish that comes with a bite. If you can't find the Chinese egg noodles (also called Hong Kong-style noodles), you can make this with rice noodles or soba. The key is to only boil them until they are halfway done. (They should be pliable but still firm in the center.) They will finish cooking when you pan-fry them.

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup thinly sliced scallions (about a bunch; use both whites and greens)
3 tablespoons soy sauce, more to taste
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons rice wine or sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, more as needed
6 ounces Chinese (also called Hong Kong) egg noodles, soba noodles or rice noodles
2 1/2 tablespoons peanut, grapeseed, safflower or vegetable oil, more as needed
5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 large eggs, beaten with a fork
2 cups washed baby spinach or 1/2 cup thawed edamame (optional)
1 to 2 teaspoons sriracha or other hot sauce, or to taste
Juice of 1/2 lime, or to taste
1 cup cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons sesame seeds or chopped roasted peanuts, optional

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the scallions, soy sauce, ginger, rice wine or vinegar, sesame oil and salt. Let stand while you prepare the noodles.
  • In a large pot of boiling water, cook noodles until they are halfway done according to package instructions. (They should still be quite firm.) Drain well and toss with 1/2 tablespoon of the peanut oil to keep them from sticking, and spread them out on a plate or baking sheet.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the remaining 2 tablespoons of peanut oil. Add the garlic and cook until crisp and golden around the edges, 1 to 2 minutes. Add half the scallion mixture and stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add noodles; stir-fry until noodles are hot and lightly coated with sauce, about 30 seconds. Add eggs, spinach or edamame if using, sriracha, and remaining scallion mixture and continue to stir-fry until the eggs are cooked, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat and stir in lime juice. Garnish with cilantro and sesame seeds or peanuts.

Prawns and Vegetables Over Pan-Fried Udon Noodles image

This is my own creation. It's fast, easy, nutritious, and affordable. Great for dinner on a weeknight when everyone is busy. I will halve the recipe when I'm only cooking for myself or double it when I am cooking for my whole family because it converts easily. Also, one recipe will feed 4 children, as portion sizes are generous.

ASIAN FRIES - PAN FRIED NOODLES



Asian Fries - Pan Fried Noodles image

This simple udon noodle recipe makes perfect, thick and delicious, a little bit crunchy, a little bit chewy udon noodles that have an amazing taste even when served by them self! If you cook them just right, they can be served alone, kind of like crunchy/chewy asian french fries. These noodles are so versatile almost any veggie, meat or seafood can be added. Its a staple for people who love big ole fat delicious noodles! If you like spicy, add in some fresh organic cayenne pepper, or even the classic chili garlic sauce. Just a touch of either one will transform it into a spicy lovers dream. I left this recipe basic so that it is more versatile.

Time 15m

Yield 2 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 6

8 ounces udon noodles (frozen is ok, they usually come in 5 packs)
1 teaspoon garlic (fresh minced or in a jar)
2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil
1 tablespoon butter (I use real salted butter, no light or diet here!)
1 teaspoon sea salt (pink himalayan sea salt grinder)

Steps:

  • To start you will need a good quality wok or non stick pan, and only use a wooden spatula, so you don't scratch it and break the seal. It is helpful to use a wooden spatula that is square and has a point so you can gently separate the noodles while stirring.
  • Let the udon noodles thaw a bit. If you can't wait to thaw, put them in the microwave for one minute each side.
  • Put the butter, garlic and grape seed oil into the wok and slowly heat the wok no higher than medium heat. **Do not let your garlic burn** The reason to use grape seed oil is because its very neutral and has a high smoke point so it doesn't burn easily.
  • When the noodles are thawed gently pull them apart with your fingers.
  • When the garlic starts to sizzle and just before it starts to turn golden brown add the udon noodles into the wok.
  • After the noodles have been moved around and thoroughly coated in butter, garlic and grape seed oil, turn the heat up to almost high. (only for a few minutes).
  • If you don't like garlic, just leave it out.
  • *stay with it constantly and gently stir the noodles or they will burn*.
  • Gently stir and flip the noodles, after each flip, spread them out gently again.
  • The noodles should begin to turn golden brown (not burnt but crispy looking) and when they begin to look this way ad in a few twists of the pink sea salt and 2 Tbsp's of soy sauce.
  • Keep stirring it gently.
  • Turn the heat back down to just below medium and cook for 1 more minute just until the salt and soy sauce have evenly spread, then turn off burner.
  • During this process if you feel the heat get too hot or are afraid its burning, lift the pan off the heat.
  • If you want it spicy, add it in now and be subtle.

PAN FRIED NOODLES



Pan Fried Noodles image

Another version of pan fried noodles/Chinese fried noodles. I fell in love with @AprilHuff's recipe (https://www.justapinch.com/recipes/main-course/pasta/chinese-fried-noodles.html), which is DELICIOUS, then made a few tweaks to suit the tastes of my family and what I could find at my local grocery store.

Provided by NE Lady

Categories     Pasta Sides

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 lb thick spaghetti noodles
1 Tbsp butter
2.5-3 Tbsp sesame oil
16 oz tri-color coleslaw package or 16 ounces angel hair coleslaw mix
1 large onion, sliced thin
1 tsp minced garlic
3-4 Tbsp soy sauce (can add more or less, depending on your preference)
2 green onions, sliced

Steps:

  • 1. Prepare thick spaghetti noodles according to the package until al dente (I salt the water). Drain, then rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
  • 2. Add butter and sesame oil to a large frying pan over medium-high heat; when butter melts, add coleslaw mix and onion and cook until onion is translucent. Add garlic and cook until fragrant (about thirty seconds to a minute).
  • 3. Add the thick spaghetti noodles and soy sauce to the pan and fry 7-10 minutes or your desired doneness (will get crispier the longer you fry).
  • 4. Add sliced green onion to pan and fry for one minute longer.

Tips:

  • Choose the right noodles: The best noodles for pan-fried noodles are thin and flat, such as lo mein or ramen noodles. These noodles will cook quickly and evenly in the pan.
  • Soak the noodles before cooking: Soaking the noodles before cooking will help to soften them and make them more pliable. This will make them less likely to stick together when you cook them.
  • Use a well-seasoned pan: A well-seasoned pan will help to prevent the noodles from sticking. To season a pan, heat it over medium heat and add a little oil. Swirl the oil around the pan to coat it evenly. Then, remove the pan from the heat and let it cool.
  • Cook the noodles in a single layer: When you cook the noodles, make sure to spread them out in a single layer in the pan. This will help them to cook evenly.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: Don't try to cook too many noodles at once. If you overcrowd the pan, the noodles will not cook evenly and they will be more likely to stick together.
  • Stir the noodles frequently: As the noodles cook, stir them frequently to prevent them from sticking together. You can use a spatula or a pair of tongs to stir the noodles.
  • Add your favorite sauce: Once the noodles are cooked, you can add your favorite sauce. Some popular sauces for pan-fried noodles include soy sauce, teriyaki sauce, and oyster sauce.

Conclusion:

Pan-fried noodles are a quick and easy meal that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. With a little practice, you can make pan-fried noodles that are just as good as the ones you get at your favorite restaurant. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give pan-fried noodles a try.
