STIR-FRIED RICE STICK NOODLES WITH BOK CHOY AND CHERRY TOMATOES



Stir-Fried Rice Stick Noodles With Bok Choy and Cherry Tomatoes image

Rice noodles are delicate and light, and especially welcome to those who are gluten-intolerant. You might find it easier to use tongs for this once you've added the noodles to the pan. Bok choy is a member of the cabbage family and has all those antioxidant-rich phytonutrients that the brassicas are known for.

Time 35m

Yield Serves four to six

Number Of Ingredients 15

7 ounces thin rice stick noodles (1/2 of a 14-ounce package)
1/2 cup chicken or vegetable broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce low-sodium if desired or wheat-free tamari
1 tablespoon Shao Hsing rice wine or dry sherry
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes or 1 to 2 teaspoons minced jalapeño
2 tablespoons peanut oil or canola oil
2 eggs, beaten
3/4 pound (2 medium) baby bok choy, trimmed, washed and dried, cut in 1-inch lengths
1 1/2 cups cherry tomatoes, halved
Salt to taste
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1 cup coarsely chopped cilantro can include stems, plus additional sprigs for garnish
2 teaspoons sesame oil

Steps:

  • Place the noodles in a large bowl and cover with warm water. Soak for at least 20 minutes, until soft. Drain in a colander and, using kitchen scissors, cut into 6-inch lengths. Set aside within reach of your wok or pan. Combine the broth, soy sauce, and rice wine or sherry in a small bowl. Combine the garlic, ginger, and pepper flakes or minced jalapeño in another bowl. Have everything within reach of your wok or pan.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in 2 teaspoons of the oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and swirling the pan. Make sure that the bottom of the wok or pan is coated with oil and add the eggs, swirling the pan so that the eggs form a thin pancake. Cook 30 seconds to a minute, until set. Using a spatula, turn the pancake over and cook for 5 to 10 more seconds, until thoroughly set, then transfer to a plate or cutting board. Season to taste. Allow to cool, then roll up and cut into strips 1/4 inch wide. Place near the wok.
  • Swirl the remaining oil into the wok or pan and add the garlic, ginger and chili. Stir-fry no more than 10 seconds, until fragrant, and add the bok choy. Stir-fry for 1 minute, until it is bright green and the leaves are wilted, and add the broth mixture, the drained noodles, and the tomatoes. Reduce the heat to medium and stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes, until the noodles are just tender and the tomatoes are beginning to soften. Add the cilantro and egg shreds, and the salt and sugar, and stir-fry another 30 seconds to a minute, until well combined. Add the sesame oil, stir together, and serve, garnished with cilantro sprigs if desired.

Tips:

  • Soak the rice stick noodles: Soaking the rice stick noodles in hot water softens them and makes them easier to stir-fry. Be sure to follow the package instructions for the specific type of noodles you are using.
  • Use a large skillet or wok: A large skillet or wok will give you plenty of room to stir-fry the noodles and vegetables without overcrowding them.
  • Heat the oil over high heat: High heat is essential for getting a good sear on the noodles and vegetables. If the oil is not hot enough, the noodles will stick to the pan and the vegetables will not cook evenly.
  • Stir-fry the noodles and vegetables in batches: If you are using a large amount of noodles and vegetables, stir-fry them in batches to prevent them from overcrowding the pan. This will help them cook evenly and prevent them from becoming mushy.
  • Add the sauce last: Adding the sauce last will help to prevent the noodles and vegetables from becoming overcooked. Stir the sauce in until it is evenly distributed and heated through.

Conclusion:

Stir-fried rice stick noodles with bok choy and cherry tomatoes is a quick and easy meal that is perfect for a weeknight dinner. The noodles are soft and chewy, the vegetables are crisp and flavorful, and the sauce is savory and slightly sweet. This dish is also a great way to use up leftover rice stick noodles.
