Spicy Chicken Soba Noodles Recipes

SPICY SOBA NOODLES WITH CHICKEN AND PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Shave carrot lengthwise into thin strips using a vegetable peeler.
• Combine 1/3 cup broth, peanut butter, ginger, soy sauce, honey, pepper, and garlic; stir with a whisk until smooth.
• Place chicken in a large saucepan; add 1 2/3 cups broth. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and simmer 4 minutes or until chicken is done. Remove from heat; let stand 20 minutes. Drain; cut chicken into 2-inch pieces. Combine carrot, peanut sauce, chicken, and noodles in a large bowl; toss to coat. Sprinkle with onions and peanuts.

SPICY COLD SOBA NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring soy sauce to a boil in a small saucepan over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low and simmer until reduced by half, 10 to 15 minutes. Remove soy sauce from the heat and stir in molasses.
• Whisk sesame oil, tahini, balsamic vinegar, and chili oil together in a medium mixing bowl. Slowly whisk in soy sauce mixture. Stir in 1/2 of the scallions.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Add soba noodles and cook, stirring occasionally, until tender yet firm to the bite, about 3 minutes. Immediately drain and rinse thoroughly in cold water.
• Combine noodles and sauce. Sprinkle remaining scallions and sesame seeds over top and refrigerate until cold, at least 30 minutes.

SPICY CHICKEN SOBA NOODLES

Steps:

• Prepare soba noodles according to package directions; set aside.
• Meanwhile, blanch broccoli and peas (if using fresh) in boiling salty water for 3 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk together sauce: hoisin, soy, sesame oil, rice vinegar and chili garlic paste; set aside.
• When broccoli and peas turn bright green from blanching, submerge in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. (This keeps veggies bright and crisp, not brown and mushy.) Note: If using frozen peas, simply thaw and skip this step.
• Next, heat oil over medium-high heat in a large wok or deep pan.
• Add cubed chicken breast and cook until browned, about 7-8 minutes; remove from pan and set aside.
• To the hot pan, add onion and cook 4 minutes.
• Stir in garlic, ginger and red pepper; cook additional 2 minutes.
• Add cooked broccoli, peas, mushrooms and reserved chicken breast.
• Pour in sauce and reserved noodles and cook for 2 minutes. Garnish with green onions.
