Provided by Florence Fabricant

Categories     dinner, one pot, main course

Time 25m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 tablespoon Sichuan peppercorns
1/2 pound ground pork
3 tablespoons dark soy sauce
Salt to taste
1 cup peanut oil
3 tablespoons chopped garlic
2 tablespoons finely chopped peeled fresh ginger
5 tablespoons finely chopped scallions
2 tablespoons sesame paste or smooth peanut butter
2 tablespoons chili oil
1 cup chicken stock
12 ounces fresh or dry Chinese egg noodles (or spaghetti noodles)

Steps:

  • Heat a wok or heavy skillet over medium heat. Add the peppercorns and stir-fry for about 5 minutes until they brown slightly and start to smoke. Remove them from the heat and allow them to cool, then grind them. Set aside.
  • Combine the pork, 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce and 1 teaspoon of the salt and mix well. Heat a wok or skillet, add the oil and when the oil is hot, deep-fry the pork, stirring it with a spatula to break up the pieces. When the pork is crispy, about four minutes, remove it with a slotted spoon and drain it on paper towels.
  • Pour off all but two tablespoons of the oil. Put a pot containing 3 to 4 quarts of water on the stove and bring to a boil.
  • Reheat the wok with the remaining oil and stir-fry the garlic, ginger and scallions for 30 seconds, then add the sesame paste, the remaining soy sauce and salt, the chili oil and chicken stock. Simmer for four minutes. Return the pork to the pan and stir.
  • Cook the noodles in the boiling water two minutes if they are fresh, five minutes if they are dried (if using spaghetti, cook according to package directions). Drain in a colander. Transfer them to a serving bowl or individual bowls. Ladle on the sauce and top with the fried pork mixture. Sprinkle with the ground Sichuan peppercorns and serve.

SZECHUAN COLD NOODLES

Szechuan style cold noodle salad

Provided by Elaine

Categories     staple

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 serving egg noodles or Alkaline noodles
1/2 English cucumber ( ,peeled and shredded (You can use bean sprout too))
1/2 tbsp. sesame oil
3 tsp. sugar
2 tsp. vinegar
1/2 tbsp. sesame paste
a small pinch of salt
1 tbsp. light soy sauce
1 tbsp. Szechuan style chili oil + a slightly more for drizzling ( ,or as needed)
1 garlic cloves ( ,smashed and finely chopped)
chopped scallion for garnishing
smashed toasted peanuts for garnishing

Steps:

  • Set up a steamer with enough water and bring to a boiling.
  • Spread noodles on a steamer and then steam for 4-5 minutes. Then add a small pinch of salt in the water and then transfer the noodles in the water. Heat until the water boils again.
  • Transfer out and add 1/2 tablespoon f oil immediately (This will help to avoid the noodles being sticky with each other). Stir to mix well. Use chopsticks to stir the noodles up repeatedly to help the noodles cool down quickly. In hot days, you can even resort to an electric fan.
  • Cook the noodles according to the instruction on the package. I recommend you only cook the noodles about until 80% cooked.
  • When the noodles are completely cooled down, add shredded cucumber and all the other seasonings. Mix well and serve cold.
  • Drizzle some chili oil on top, garnish green onion and roasted peanuts.

SZECHUAN NOODLES

This spicy Asian inspired dish is absolutely delicious. I saw this made on one of Ina Garten's cooking shows and immediately HAD to try it. I omitted the oil called for in the original recipe and replaced it with water instead. I also gave alternate ingredients to replace the honey as a sweetener in order to make this vegan friendly. Hope you like it!

DAN DAN NOODLES



Dan Dan Noodles image

A Dan Dan Noodles recipe that's tried, true, and authentic. With this recipe, you can try out this spicy, numbing Sichuan classic at home!

Provided by Judy

Categories     Noodles and Pasta

Time 1h30m

Number Of Ingredients 24

2 tablespoons Sichuan peppercorns
1 cinnamon stick
2 star anise
1 cup oil
1/4 cup crushed red pepper flakes
3 teaspoons oil
8 oz. ground pork ((225g))
2 teaspoons sweet bean sauce or hoisin sauce
2 teaspoons shaoxing wine
1 teaspoon dark soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon five spice powder
1/3 cup sui mi ya cai
2 tablespoons sesame paste (tahini)
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon five spice powder
1/2 teaspoon Sichuan peppercorn powder ((we ground whole Sichuan peppercorns in a mortar and pestle))
1/2 cup of your prepared chili oil ((scary, but yes!))
2 cloves garlic ((very finely minced))
¼ cup hot cooking water from the noodles
1 pound fresh or dried white noodles ((450g, medium thickness))
1 small bunch leafy greens ((spinach, bok choy, or choy sum))
chopped peanuts
chopped scallion ((optional))

Steps:

  • To make the chili oil: In a small pot, add the Sichuan peppercorns, cinnamon stick, star anise, and oil. Over medium low heat, slowly heat to 325 degrees, and then turn off the heat. Wait 6 - 7 minutes, then remove the peppercorns, cinnamon stick, and star anise with a slotted spoon. Add the crushed red pepper flakes and allow them to steep in the hot oil. It should start smelling fragrant, almost like popcorn. Allow the oil to cool. This makes more chili oil than you'll need, but you'll be glad to have it on hand for use in other dishes. Store in a glass jar and keep refrigerated.
  • To make the meat mixture: In a wok, heat a teaspoon of oil over medium heat, and brown the ground pork. Add the sweet bean sauce, shaoxing wine, dark soy sauce, and five spice powder. Cook until all the liquid is evaporated. Set aside. Heat the other 2 teaspoons of oil in the wok over medium heat, and sautee the sui mi ya cai (pickled vegetables) for a few minutes. Set aside.
  • To make the sauce: Mix together all the sauce ingredients. Taste and adjust seasoning if you like. You can loosen it with more hot water, add more Sichuan peppercorn powder, etc.
  • To prepare the noodles and veggies: Cook the noodles according to package directions and drain. Blanch the greens in the noodle water, and drain.
  • Divide the sauce among six bowls (or four if you want larger servings), followed by the noodles and the leafy greens. Add the cooked pork and sui mi ya cai over the top. Sprinkle with chopped peanuts (optional) and scallions.
  • Mix everything together and enjoy!

SICHUAN (SZECHUAN) COLD NOODLE



Sichuan (Szechuan) Cold Noodle image

Sichuan (Szechuan) cold noodle is one of the most famous Sichuan street foods. What I mean by street food is that you can get it almost anywhere in Sichuan--even a small food stand on the side of the street. It is actually simple to make, and the ingredients are easy to find. It is definitely a quick, easy meal, though you might want to watch out for the garlic. This noodle dish is better served right away. It does not taste as good if you leave it overnight and take it for lunch.
