Glass Noodles With Shrimp And Spicy Mustard Sauce Recipes

GLASS NOODLES WITH SHRIMP AND SPICY MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling water, cook noodles according to package directions until tender, about 8 to 10 minutes. Using tongs, transfer noodles to a colander and rinse under cold water until cool; drain well.
• In the same pot of boiling water, add shrimp. Poach over high until pink and just opaque throughout, 2 minutes. Drain shrimp and rinse under cold water.
• While the noodles cook, in a large bowl, combine mustard powder and 2 tablespoons very hot water; mix well. Let stand for 5 minutes to bloom. Add vinegar, ginger and sugar. Whisking constantly, drizzle in oil until well combined; season with salt and pepper. Reserve 1/3 cup of this dressing in a small bowl.
• Add cooled noodles to the large bowl of mustard sauce, season with salt and pepper, and toss until noodles are evenly coated. (Using clean hands works best, but otherwise use tongs.) Add shrimp, cucumbers, bell pepper and the reserved 1/3 cup dressing; season with salt and pepper, and toss until well combined. Season to taste.
• Divide noodle mixture among shallow bowls. Garnish with scallions and eggs, if using.

SHRIMP IN MUSTARD SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large skillet, melt 1 tablespoon butter over medium-high. Add shrimp and garlic; cook, tossing, until shrimp starts to turn pink on the outside but is still translucent on the inside, about 2 minutes (shrimp will finish cooking in step 3). Transfer to a plate; set aside.
• Reduce heat to medium. In same skillet, melt remaining butter. Add shallot; cook until softened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add flour; cook 30 seconds, whisking constantly. Gradually add wine, broth, and mustard, whisking constantly. Simmer until it is as thick as heavy cream, about 5 minutes.
• Using a fine-mesh sieve, strain sauce; discard solids. Return sauce and shrimp to skillet. Bring to a simmer, and cook until shrimp are opaque throughout, about 2 minutes; season with salt and pepper. If desired, serve over rice and garnish with thyme leaves.
