SPICY SESAME NOODLES WITH CHICKEN AND PEANUTS



Spicy Sesame Noodles With Chicken and Peanuts image

In this quick and spicy weeknight noodle dish, sizzling hot oil is poured over red-pepper flakes, orange peel, crunchy peanuts, soy sauce and sesame oil. While you brown the ground chicken, the mixture sits, and the flavors become more pronounced and fiery. Tossed with soft noodles and browned chicken, the bright chile-peanut oil shines. If you crave something green, throw in a quick-cooking green vegetable when you break up the chicken in Step 3. You can also swap the chicken with ground pork or beef, or crumbled tofu.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 tablespoons red-pepper flakes
1 1/2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, plus more as needed
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon neutral oil, like grapeseed or vegetable
6 tablespoons roasted, salted peanuts, coarsely chopped
Rind of 1/2 orange, peeled into 2- to 3-inch strips
1 pound ground chicken
10 to 12 ounces ramen or udon noodles, preferably fresh
3 tablespoons finely chopped chives

Steps:

  • In a medium heatproof bowl, stir together the red-pepper flakes, soy sauce and sesame oil. Set next to the stovetop.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Meanwhile, in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium heat, cook the 1/2 cup oil, peanuts and orange rind, shaking the pan occasionally, until the peanuts are golden and bubbling, 3 to 5 minutes. Immediately pour the contents of the skillet over the red-pepper mixture (be careful of splattering!) and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add the chicken and press it down with a wooden spoon into a thin layer. Season with salt and a generous amount of black pepper and cook, without stirring, occasionally pressing the layer of chicken down, until the bottom is browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Break the chicken up into small pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more.
  • While the chicken cooks, cook the noodles according to package directions, until chewy but not soft. Drain and toss with a bit of sesame oil.
  • Remove and discard the orange rind from the chile oil. Off the heat, add enough chile oil to coat the chicken and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Add the noodles and toss, adding more chile oil to fully coat the noodles and chicken. (If you don't use all of the chile oil, you can store it in the refrigerator for 2 weeks in an airtight container.) Top with chives and serve at once.

  • Cook the noodles al dente: This means they should be cooked until they are slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked noodles will be mushy and not as tasty.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent the food from sticking and will give it a nice smoky flavor.
  • Cook the chicken in batches: This will help to ensure that it is cooked evenly.
  • Add the vegetables last: This will help them to retain their鮮豔的 color and crunch.
  • Use a good quality sauce: The sauce is what will really make your lo mein shine. Make sure to use a sauce that you like the taste of and that is appropriate for the type of lo mein you are making.
  • Serve immediately: Lo mein is best served immediately after it is cooked. This will help to ensure that the noodles are still hot and the vegetables are still crisp.
