SPICY SICHUAN NOODLES



Spicy Sichuan Noodles image

This recipe for spicy peanut noodles is adapted from Ken Hom, the chef and cookbook author best known for his BBC television show "Ken Hom's Chinese Cookery." It is incredibly easy to put together on a weeknight, yet loaded with complex flavors and textures.

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 NOODLES WITH PEANUT SAUCE



Szechuan Noodles with Peanut Sauce image

Categories     Peanut     Bell Pepper     Summer     Chill     Vegan     Noodle     Bon Appétit

Yield Serves 6 as a main-course

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/2 cup (or more) canned vegetable broth
1 cup super-chunky peanut butter
1/4 cup soy sauce
2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar
1 1/2 tablespoons chili-garlic sauce*
5 garlic cloves, minced
12 ounces dried chow mein udon (Asian-style noodles)*
1 tablespoon canola oil
8 large bok choy leaves
2 red bell peppers, halved lengthwise
2 large carrots, peeled
1 bunch green onions
2 cups shredded Napa cabbage
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
*Available at Asian markets and in the Asian foods section of many supermarkets.

Steps:

  • Mix 1/2 cup vegetable broth, peanut butter, soy sauce, balsamic vinegar, chili-garlic sauce and minced garlic in medium bowl to blend well (sauce will be thick). Cook noodles in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, about 6 minutes. Drain. Rinse noodles under cold water and cool. Cut noodles into 4- to 5-inch lengths. Transfer noodles to very large bowl. Toss with oil to coat.
  • Cut bok choy, peppers, carrots and onions into matchstick-size strips. (Sauce, noodles and vegetables can be prepared 4 hours ahead. Cover separately; chill. Bring sauce to room temperature before continuing, thinning with additional broth if necessary.)
  • Add shredded cabbage and vegetable strips to noodles. Toss with enough peanut sauce to coat. Sprinkle with sesame seeds.

Tips:

  • When choosing noodles for this salad, opt for a variety that will hold up well to the dressing and vegetables, such as soba noodles, udon noodles, or rice noodles.
  • To make the dressing, use a high-quality sesame oil and rice vinegar. You can also add a touch of chili oil or Sriracha sauce for some extra heat.
  • To save time, you can use pre-shredded carrots and cabbage. However, if you have the time, shredding them yourself will give the salad a more fresh and vibrant flavor.
  • Don't be afraid to experiment with different vegetables in this salad. Some other good options include bell peppers, snap peas, and edamame.
  • This salad is best served fresh, but it will keep well in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Conclusion:

Szechuan noodle salad is a delicious and refreshing dish that is perfect for a light lunch or dinner. It is also a great way to use up leftover vegetables. With its bold flavors and textures, this salad is sure to be a hit with everyone who tries it.
