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.

Time 35m

Yield 6

Number Of Ingredients 19

½ cup peanut butter
6 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
3 ½ tablespoons rice vinegar
3 tablespoons brown sugar
3 tablespoons sesame oil
2 red Thai chiles, seeded and finely chopped
2 tablespoons chile-garlic sauce
2 tablespoons freshly grated ginger
1 teaspoon fish sauce
¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
3 tablespoons olive oil, divided
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 3/4-inch cubes
1 cup matchstick carrots
1 red bell pepper, sliced into thin strips
4 green onions, thinly sliced
2 cups bean sprouts, rinsed and drained
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 (16 ounce) package pad Thai rice noodles
1 tablespoon chopped unsalted peanuts

Steps:

  • Whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, Thai chiles, chile-garlic sauce, ginger, fish sauce, and pepper in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.
  • Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large wok or non-stick pan over high heat. Add chicken and stir constantly until almost cooked, about 3 minutes. Pour in 1/4 cup sauce mixture to chicken. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer chicken with its juices to a bowl.
  • Reduce heat to medium-high. Heat remaining tablespoon olive oil in the same wok or pan used for chicken. Add carrots; cook and stir until just softened but still crunchy, about 3 minutes. Stir in bell pepper; cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add reserved chicken with its juices, remaining sauce, green onions, bean sprouts, and cilantro. Cook and stir until just heated, about 1 minute. Keep warm.
  • Meanwhile place noodles in a large bowl and cover with hot water. Set aside until noodles are softened, about 5 minutes. Drain.

Tips:

  • Use fresh ingredients: Fresh vegetables, herbs, and noodles will give your dish the best flavor. Look for crisp, brightly colored vegetables and herbs that are free of blemishes.
  • Don't overcook the noodles: Noodles should be cooked al dente, or slightly firm to the bite. Overcooked noodles will be mushy and bland.
  • Make the sauce ahead of time: The sauce can be made up to 2 days in advance. This will save you time on busy weeknights.
  • Add the sauce to the noodles just before serving: This will help prevent the noodles from absorbing too much sauce and becoming soggy.
  • Garnish with fresh herbs and peanuts: Fresh herbs and peanuts add flavor and texture to this dish. Use whatever herbs you like, such as cilantro, basil, or mint.

Conclusion:

Spicy sesame noodles with chopped peanuts and Thai basil is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. The noodles are coated in a flavorful sauce made with sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice vinegar. The peanuts and Thai basil add a crunchy texture and a pop of flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
