SAVORY THAI NOODLES WITH SEARED BRUSSELS SPROUTS



Savory Thai Noodles With Seared Brussels Sprouts image

Isa Chandra Moskowitz runs a vegan restaurant in Omaha, Neb., so she knows how to make plant-based food that meat-eaters will also like. This one-pot noodle dish, loosely based on pad Thai, has lively textures (like shredded brussels sprouts and chewy rice noodles) and super-satisfying flavors.

Time 30m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 17

1/3 cup tamari sauce
1/3 cup packed brown sugar
3 tablespoons white miso
3 tablespoons tomato paste
2 tablespoons tamarind concentrate
1 teaspoon red-pepper flakes
8 ounces Thai rice noodles
3 tablespoons plus 1 teaspoon coconut oil
1 bunch (6 to 8) scallions, trimmed
Kosher salt
8 ounces trimmed brussels sprouts, shredded or quartered
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 cups loosely packed cilantro leaves and thin stems
4 ounces mung bean sprouts (optional)
1/2 cup salted roasted peanuts, lightly cracked in a mortar or coarsely chopped
1 red chile, such as Fresno, thinly sliced (optional)
4 lime wedges, for serving

Steps:

  • Make the sauce: In a blender or bowl, combine all the ingredients and mix until smooth. It should be thick but pourable like barbecue sauce; add water as needed to thin it out.
  • Cook noodles for stir-frying according to the package directions; they should be slightly underdone. After draining, rinse well with cold water to stop the cooking. Toss noodles in 1 teaspoon coconut oil to prevent sticking.
  • Cut scallions: Thinly slice the white parts, and cut the pale and dark green parts into 1-inch lengths.
  • Heat a wok or large nonstick skillet over high. Add 2 tablespoons coconut oil and sprinkle in salt. Add brussels sprouts and sear, tossing occasionally, until browned and cooked through, about 5 minutes. Remove from the pan and set aside.
  • In the same pan over high heat, heat remaining 1 tablespoon coconut oil. Add scallions and cook, stirring often, just until wilted, about 2 minutes. Add garlic, stir, then pour in about half the sauce and stir until bubbling.
  • Add noodles and cook, tossing in the sauce until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Add the remaining sauce, cooked brussels sprouts, cilantro and bean sprouts, if using; toss to coat and heat through.
  • Divide among plates. Garnish with peanuts, chile and lime wedges (if using) and serve immediately.

THAI PORK FRIED RICE



Thai Pork Fried Rice image

Thai pork fried rice with bean sprouts for some crunch. Make sure all of the ingredients are at room temperature before starting. Cold ingredients cool down the wok, which makes it difficult to stir-fry properly. Make sure the rice is not moist. I use rice that is was cooked about three days prior. If you're cooking the rice just to make this dish, use 10 to 15% less water.

Time 45m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 15

3 tablespoons peanut oil
2 cloves garlic, minced
¾ pound boneless pork chops, cut into bite-size pieces
1 cup leftover cooked rice, preferably several days old
2 teaspoons soy sauce
1 teaspoon fish sauce
1 cup mung bean sprouts
½ small white onion, chopped
10 grape tomatoes, halved
3 dried Thai chile peppers, or more to taste
¼ cup chopped fresh cilantro
1 egg, beaten
1 green onion, chopped
¼ teaspoon ground white pepper
½ lime, juiced

Steps:

  • Heat a large wok over high heat until small wisps of smoke rise from the wok. Pour peanut oil into the wok and quickly stir garlic into the hot oil, followed by pork. Cook and stir until pork is browned and no longer pink inside, about 5 minutes.
  • Stir rice into pork mixture; add soy sauce and fish sauce. Cook and stir mixture for about 30 seconds. Mix mung bean sprouts, onion, grape tomatoes, dried chiles, and cilantro into rice. Cook and stir until mung bean sprouts are slightly wilted and translucent, 2 to 3 minutes.
  • Push the fried rice up the sides of the wok, leaving a bare spot in the center. Pour beaten egg into the bare spot and scramble egg until firm and no longer runny, about 1 minute. Stir fried rice with scrambled egg, sprinkle with green onion and white pepper, and remove from heat. Squeeze lime juice over the top and toss rice lightly to combine. Remove dried chiles before serving.

SPICY FRIED RICE WITH CHICKEN, BEAN SPROUTS AND PEANUTS



Spicy Fried Rice With Chicken, Bean Sprouts and Peanuts image

This dish is a mash-up of fried rice and pad Thai; the chicken is an accent to the rest of the dish. Using more veggies and carbs, and less meat and dairy, is a hallmark of Mark Bittman's new _The Food Matters Cookbook_, which is the source of this recipe.

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 30m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

3 tablespoons vegetable oil, divided
1/2 cup sliced scallion
1 carrot, chopped
3 cups bean sprouts
8 ounces boneless skinless chicken breasts or 8 ounces boneless skinless chicken thighs, cut into pieces of the same size
1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 6 medium cloves)
2 cups cooked long-grain brown rice, preferably chilled
1 egg
1/2 cup coconut milk
2 tablespoons nam pla (fish sauce)
salt
fresh ground black pepper
1/4 cup chopped peanuts
1/2 cup chopped fresh Thai basil or 1/2 cup regular basil
1 small green Thai chiles or 1 small bird's eye chile, seeded and sliced
lime wedge

Steps:

  • Put 1 tablespoon oil in a large skillet over high heat. When it shimmers and emits wisps of smoke, add the scallions, carrot, and bean sprouts. Saute, stirring occasionally, until the vegetables soften and begin to brown, 3 to 5 minutes. Lower the heat if it looks like it might burn. Transfer the vegetables to a bowl with a slotted spoon.
  • Add 1 tablespoon of oil to the pan, followed by the chicken pieces; cook, stirring occasionally, over high heat until the chicken is no longer pink, 3 to 5 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, add chicken to the bowl with the vegetables, leaving as much oil in the pan as possible.
  • Put the last tablespoon of oil in the skillet, followed by the garlic. When fragrant, about 15 seconds, add the rice a bit at a time, breaking up any clumps with your fingers and stirring it into the oil. When all the rice is added, make a well in the center and break the egg into it; scramble it a bit, then stir it thoroughly into the rice.
  • Return the chicken and vegetables to the pan and stir to combine well. Add the coconut milk and cook, stirring, until most of the liquid has boiled off, just a minute or so. Add the fish sauce, then taste and season with salt and pepper. Turn off the heat and stir in the peanuts, basil, and chiles. Serve with the lime wedges.
