SPICY CHICKEN NOODLES



Spicy Chicken Noodles image

No matter what recipe they're used in, rice noodles are a proven crowd-pleaser. I think this spicy chicken noodles dish is perfect for using up leftover chicken, assuming it wasn't horribly overcooked in the first place. If you did want to use raw chicken, go ahead and chop it up, and stir-fry it for a minute or two before adding your vegetables.

SPICY WHOLE WHEAT SESAME NOODLES WITH CHICKEN, GREEN ONIONS, AND CILANTRO



SPICY WHOLE WHEAT SESAME NOODLES WITH CHICKEN, GREEN ONIONS, AND CILANTRO image

Categories     Chicken     Quick & Easy

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 oz. whole wheat spaghetti (1/2 package)
salt for pasta water, about 2 tsp.
1 cup diced cooked chicken
1 cup sliced green onions
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
3 T rice vinegar (don't use seasoned rice vinegar which contains sugar)
5 T soy sauce
2 T vegetable oil
1 T Thai Chili Garlic Paste (you could also use Sriracha sauce, use more or less hot sauce to taste)
1 T minced fresh ginger root (could also use ground ginger from a jar, but freshly grated ginger would be more flavorful)
1 T Asian sesame oil

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add salt, then break spaghetti noodles in half and add to water. Stir, let it come to a boil again, then cook until noodles are tender but still have a little bite, about 8-9 minutes. While pasta water is coming to a boil, grate enough fresh ginger to make 1 T, then combine with rice vinegar, soy sauce, vegetable oil, Thai Chili Garlic Paste, and sesame oil. While the noodles are cooking, chop the chicken into same-size pieces about 1/2 inch square, and slice green onions. Wash cilantro, spin dry or dry with paper towels, and chop enough to make 1/2 cup. When noodles are cooked but still al dente, drain them into a colander placed in the sink. Put noodles back into pan you cooked them in and add the diced chicken. Pour sauce mixture over chicken and noodles, then toss well enough that noodles and chicken are well-coated with the sauce mixture. Add chopped green onions and chopped cilantro and toss just enough to combine. Serve immediately. This recipe can easily be doubled.

Categories     Chicken     Onion     Poach     Quick & Easy     Lunch     Vinegar     Noodle     Soy Sauce     Gourmet     Sugar Conscious     Dairy Free     Kosher     Dinner

Yield 4 lunch main-course or side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

3 cups chicken broth or water (24 fl oz)
1 lb skinless boneless chicken breast halves (2)
1/2 lb dried buckwheat noodles such as soba noodles
1 tablespoon peanut oil
3 tablespoons Chinese black vinegar
1 tablespoon light soy sauce
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon chile oil containing sesame oil (such as Chiu Chow Chili Oil from Lee Kum Kee) plus some of sediment from jar
2 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/8 teaspoon salt
3 scallions (green parts only), thinly sliced
2 tablespoons soy nuts (roasted salted soybeans)

Steps:

  • Bring broth to a simmer in a 3-quart saucepan, then add chicken and simmer, uncovered, 6 minutes. Remove pan from heat and cover, then let stand until chicken is cooked through, about 15 minutes. Transfer chicken to a plate and cool at least 10 minutes, reserving broth for another use.
  • While chicken is poaching, bring 4 quarts salted cold water to a boil in a 5- to 6-quart saucepan over moderately high heat. Stir in noodles, then 1/2 cup cold water. When water returns to a boil, add another 1/2 cup cold water and bring to a boil again, stirring, then repeat once more, or until noodles are just tender but still firm and chewy throughout.
  • Drain noodles in a colander and rinse well under cold water to cool, then drain well. Toss noodles with peanut oil in a large bowl.
  • Stir together vinegar, soy sauces, chile oil with sediment, garlic, sugar, and salt in another bowl until sugar is dissolved, then add to noodles and toss until coated.
  • Shred chicken with your fingers into 1/4-inch-wide strips and add to noodles, tossing to combine. Sprinkle with scallions and soy nuts.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't be afraid to adjust the recipe to your liking. If you like things spicier, add more chili peppers. If you prefer a milder flavor, reduce the amount of chili peppers or omit them altogether.
  • Cook the noodles according to the package directions. This will ensure that they are cooked properly and have the right texture.
  • Make sure the chicken is cooked through before adding it to the noodles. You can check this by inserting a meat thermometer into the thickest part of the chicken. The internal temperature should read 165 degrees Fahrenheit.
  • Serve the noodles immediately. This will prevent them from becoming soggy.

Conclusion:

Spicy chicken noodles are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and easy meal. With a few simple ingredients and a little bit of time, you can create a flavorful and satisfying dish that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give this spicy chicken noodle recipe a try. You won't be disappointed!
