CHINESE CRISPY NOODLES WITH SAUCY CHICKEN AND VEGETABLES (CRISPY CHOW MEIN!)

Steps:

• Mix the Sauce ingredients EXCEPT cornflour and chicken broth/stock.
• Remove 1 tbsp Sauce and mix through chicke. Leave to marinate 10 minutes+.
• Mix cornflour into Sauce until lump free.
• Turn oven onto low (to keep noodles warm while you cook the topping).
• Divide noodles into 2 then shape into 20cm/8" rounds. Keep them tangled - this holds them together while cooking.
• Heat 1 tbsp oil in skillet over medium high heat. Place 1 noodle cake into pan then drizzle over 2 tbsp water.
• Wait until the water evaporates (steam cooks the noodles), then pat down lightly and let the noodles cook for a further 1 to 2 minute until the bottom of the noodles are golden brown (lift up with a spatula to check).
• Slide noodles onto a plate, then flip upside down back into the pan. Cook for a further 1 1/2 - 2 minutes until golden brown, then transfer to tray and place in oven to keep warm.
• Repeat with remaining noodle cake.
• Add an extra 1 tbsp oil if needed, increase heat to HIGH. Add garlic and onion, cook for 30 seconds.
• Add chicken and cook until it changes from pink to white (still raw inside)
• Add the carrot and bok choy stems, cook 30 seconds.
• Add cabbage and leaf of buk choy, cook for 1 minute until they start to wilt.
• Add chicken broth, water, then Sauce and stir. Let it simmer for 1 - 2 minutes until the Sauce thickens to a syrup consistency (see video).
• Place a noodle cake on the plate, then spoon over the stir fry onto the middle of the noodles (leave edges crispy) being sure to use up all the sauce so it soaks the noodles. Serve immediately!

FRIED RAMEN NOODLE (ASIAN-STYLE)

Steps:

• 1. Fill a medium-sized (large enough to fit the ramen block with 1-2 inches of space around it) non-stick frying pan with water, half-way. Heat the pan with the water to a boil.
• 2. Place ramen block and sprinkle the soup base (if you like it) too. Let the ramen soften, flip it if it's still solid so that it is evenly moistened. Use a fork to loosen it up. Let the ramen soften some more, and if the water evaporates, great!
• 3. If there is still water in the pan after 3 minutes of cooking, drain the water. Slide the noodles off the pan and into a clean plate.
• 4. Drizzle some oil in the pan and let it heat up at Maximum heat. Once the pan is hot, slide back the noodles into the pan. Evenly distribute the noodles over the pan.
• 5. Drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of sauce. Let it fry. Occasionally lift the ramen to check the underside. If it's brown, use a spatula to flip it and let the other side cook. Let the other side fry. Again, lift and check. If it's brown, slide it off the pan and into your plate.

CANTONESE-STYLE PAN-FRIED NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring a large stockpot of water to boil. While the water is boiling, separate the greens from the whites of the scallion. Cut into one-inch pieces then quarter the 1-inch piece vertically so you end up with thinly julienned scallions, set aside. In a bowl, combine the oyster sauce, soy sauce, sugar, minced garlic, red pepper flakes, salt, and 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, stir to combine, set aside.
• When the water comes to a boil, add the noodles and allow them to boil for 2-4 minutes (according to package directions). Drain and rinse under cold running water.
• Heat a large wok or a 16-18 inch skillet over high heat. Let the skillet heat for several minutes until it becomes SCREAMING HOT. Drizzle with 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and 1 tablespoon of canola oil. When the pan becomes very hot and the oil starts to shimmer, add the noodles in a thin even layer. Grab the handle and carefully swirl the pan so the oil evenly coats all the noodles. Allow the noodles to cook for 4-6 minute or until they become crispy.
• Flip the noodles over using a large spatula. Do this carefully, don't worry if you cannot get all of them to turn at once. Do it in portions if necessary. Drizzle the remaining 1 tablespoon of sesame oil and 1 tablespoon of canola oil around the perimeters of the pan and again, lift the skillet with handle and swirl the pan to allow the oil to distribute. Let the noodles fry for an additional 3-5 minutes. Remove the noodles to a plate.
• Heat the remaining 1 teaspoon of sesame oil, along with the white part of the scallion and let sizzle for just 10 seconds. Add the shredded carrots if using, and let cook for an additional 10 seconds. Add the noodles back into the skillet and toss. Separate the noodles so there aren't any large clumps. Toss in the shredded cabbage mix, if using and drizzle with the soy sauce mixture and toss continuously for 1-2 minutes or until the sauce distributes evenly over the noodles.
• Add the bean sprouts if using and the greens of scallions. Toss to combine and serve immediately.

CANTONESE SOY SAUCE PAN-FRIED NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil. Rinse the bean sprouts in cold water and drain. Julienne the scallions. Mix the soy sauces, sesame oil, salt, sugar, wine and white pepper in a small bowl and set aside.
• Boil the noodles. Fresh noodles should be boiled for about 1 minute. For dried noodles, boil for 2 minutes. Rinse in cold water and drain very well.
• Heat the wok over high heat and add a tablespoon of oil to coat the wok (you can also use a cast iron or non-stick pan for this). Spread the noodles in a thin, even layer on the wok and tilt the wok in a circular motion to distribute the oil and crisp the bottom layer of the noodles evenly. It should take about 5 minutes for the first side.
• Flip the noodles over. add another tablespoon of oil around the perimeter of the wok, and let the other side crisp up. Don't stress if you can't turn the noodles over in one shot. The goal here is just to get an even crispness and to dry out the noodles during this cooking stage. Set the noodles aside on a plate.
• Heat the wok over high heat. Add a tablespoon of oil and all of the white parts of the scallion to the pan. Cook for about 15 seconds. Next, add the noodles to the wok and toss them well, breaking up the noodles so they're not all in one big clump. Add the soy sauce mixture and toss continuously for a couple minutes. Keep the heat on high.
• After the noodles are uniformly golden brown, add the bean sprouts and toss. Add the rest of the scallions and toss the mixture again for another 1 to 2 minutes until you see the bean sprouts just starting to turn transparent. You want the sprouts to be cooked but still crunchy.
• Plate and serve!

ASIAN FRIES - PAN FRIED NOODLES

Steps:

• To start you will need a good quality wok or non stick pan, and only use a wooden spatula, so you don't scratch it and break the seal. It is helpful to use a wooden spatula that is square and has a point so you can gently separate the noodles while stirring.
• Let the udon noodles thaw a bit. If you can't wait to thaw, put them in the microwave for one minute each side.
• Put the butter, garlic and grape seed oil into the wok and slowly heat the wok no higher than medium heat. **Do not let your garlic burn** The reason to use grape seed oil is because its very neutral and has a high smoke point so it doesn't burn easily.
• When the noodles are thawed gently pull them apart with your fingers.
• When the garlic starts to sizzle and just before it starts to turn golden brown add the udon noodles into the wok.
• After the noodles have been moved around and thoroughly coated in butter, garlic and grape seed oil, turn the heat up to almost high. (only for a few minutes).
• If you don't like garlic, just leave it out.
• *stay with it constantly and gently stir the noodles or they will burn*.
• Gently stir and flip the noodles, after each flip, spread them out gently again.
• The noodles should begin to turn golden brown (not burnt but crispy looking) and when they begin to look this way ad in a few twists of the pink sea salt and 2 Tbsp's of soy sauce.
• Keep stirring it gently.
• Turn the heat back down to just below medium and cook for 1 more minute just until the salt and soy sauce have evenly spread, then turn off burner.
• During this process if you feel the heat get too hot or are afraid its burning, lift the pan off the heat.
• If you want it spicy, add it in now and be subtle.
