Citrus Soy Stir Fry Noodle Bowls Recipes

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!

STIR FRY NOODLES

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Let sit while you prep the remaining ingredients.
• In a small bowl or large liquid measuring cup, combine the three-quarters of the green onions, the remaining 3 tablespoons soy sauce, hoisin, garlic, ginger, and vinegar. Set near the stove. Reserve the remaining green onions for serving.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook noodles until they are about 1 to 2 minutes from done, according to package instructions. They should be very al dente, still a little too firm to eat, but not excessively hard and chewy. Drain and toss with 1/2 tablespoon of the oil to prevent sticking.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1/2 tablespoon oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken. Cook until golden and fully cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a plate.
• To the now-empty skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the vegetables and cook until they begin to brown and soften but are still fairly crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add half the scallion mixture and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Add the noodles. Cook, using tongs to toss the noodles and coat them with the sauce, for 30 seconds.
• Add the eggs, sriracha, chicken, and remaining scallion mixture.
• Continue to stir fry and toss the noodles, until the eggs are cooked through and the noodles are tender, 1 to 2 minutes longer.
• Remove from heat. Sprinkle with the reserved green onions.

CITRUS SOY STIR-FRY (NOODLE BOWLS)

Steps:

• In a medium pot over high heat, combine the stock, tamari, ginger knob, marmalade and a hearty pinch of pepper. Bring up to a bubble, then reduce the heat to medium and reduce until thickened, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the lemon juice and reserve.
• Place a large skillet over medium-high heat with 3 turns of the pan of oil, about 3 tablespoons. When the pan is smoking hot, add the meat or shrimp to the pan and cook, tossing frequently, until golden and cooked through; 5-6 minutes for the shrimp or 7-8 minutes for the meat. Remove the meat from the pan and reserve on a plate.
• Return the pan to the heat, add the scallions and sauté until tender and aromatic, about 1 minute. Add the remaining veggies to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until crisp tender, 4-5 minutes. Add the reserved meat or shrimp and sauce to the pan and toss to heat through and combine. Serve the stir fry over rice or whole wheat noodles.
