JAPANESE CHICKEN SOBA NOODLES

Steps:

• In a large pot of boiling water (no salt), add noodles and cook for 3 to 3 ½ minutes. Drain in the colander before transferring them in a large bowl filled with very cold water. Swirl them around to dislodge starch, preventing them from getting gummy.
• In a large saucepan over medium-high heat, add canola oil and sesame oil. When hot, add chicken breasts; season and sauté until no longer pink. Using a spider strainer or slotted spoon, transfer cubed chicken to a bowl; set aside.
• Back to saucepan; reduce heat to medium and add onions, peppers, carrots and cabbage; sauté until just soft about 3 to 4 minutes.
• Drain noodles from the cold water bowl and transfer them to a bowl filled with very hot (not boiling) water to warm up.
• Return chicken to skillet; sauté to heat through. Add warm soba noodles and pour in peanut sauce; stir until well mixed. Spoon mixture into bowls and garnish with coarsely chopped peanuts.

CHICKEN SOBA NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, combine the chicken thighs, chicken broth, sliced ginger, scallion whites, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds pepper in a large saucepan. Cover and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, about 8 minutes. Uncover and gently simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 5 to 10 more minutes.
• While the chicken cooks, trim the snap peas and thinly slice. Peel the carrots and halve lengthwise, then thinly slice.
• Add the soba noodles to the boiling water and cook as the label directs. Drain and rinse under warm water, then vigorously shake off the water. Divide among bowls.
• Using tongs, remove the chicken to a plate. Discard the ginger and scallions from the broth and skim off any foam. Shred the chicken and return to the broth. Add the shiitakes and carrots, return to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Stir in the snap peas.
• Ladle the soup over the noodles. Top with the scallion greens and grated ginger; sprinkle with shichimi togarashi.
