SPICY THAI NOODLE STIR FRY

Steps:

• Whisk all ingredients for the sauce together in a small bowl. Set aside.
• Cook linguini to al dente according to box instructions and drain.
• While the pasta is cooking, heat sesame and olive oils in a large (large!) skillet, preferably one with high sides. Stir in mushrooms, carrots, bell pepper, spinach and snap peas. Cook for 7-8 minutes, until somewhat softened and mushrooms have started to release their juices.
• Stir garlic, whites of the green onion, half of the cilantro, and half of the peanuts into the pan. Cook for 1 minute, until garlic is fragrant. Pour in Mirin and scrape up any browned bits on the bottom of the pan. Reduce heat to low.
• Stir in pasta and sauce until coated and cook 1 more minute, letting the sauce reduce. Remove from heat.
• Top noodles with remaining peanuts, cilantro, green onion, and sesame seeds. Serve immediately.

SPICY THAI BASIL, CHICKEN & NOODLE STIR-FRY

Steps:

• 1. Mix sugar, lime juice and fish sauce in small bowl. Set aside. Bring large pot of water to boil. Remove from heat. Add red rice noodles, stirring to separate noodles in water. Let stand 5 to 7 minutes or until noodles are tender but firm. (If you are using Asian wheat noodles, you will need to actually cook them for 5-7 minutes rather than merely letting them soak in hot water.) Drain well. Place in serving bowl. Set aside.
• 2. Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet or wok on medium-high heat. Add garlic and chile; stir fry 15 seconds or until fragrant. Add chicken, carrots and green onions; stir fry 3 to 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
• 3. Stir in fish sauce mixture; stir fry 1 minute. Add basil (or cilantro); stir fry 30 seconds or until basil (or cilantro) is wilted. Add to noodles in bowl; toss to coat. Serve immediately.
• Tip: Thai basil has dark green leaves with purple stems and has a licorice flavor. It can be found in most Asian markets. If unavailable, substitute Italian basil.

THAI STIR-FRIED NOODLES WITH VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Boil the noodles in lightly salted water until al dente , leaning toward undercooked (you will be stir-frying them later, so avoid overcooking them now).
• Drain and rinse with cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, place all of the stir-fry sauce ingredients together in a cup or small bowl, and stir well to dissolve the sugar. Set aside.
• Heat a wok or large frying pan over medium-high heat. Add the oil and swirl around, then stir-fry the garlic, galangal or ginger, and shallot for 1 minute.
• Add the carrots plus 1 to 2 tablespoons of the stir-fry sauce. Stir-fry for 2 minutes, until the carrots soften slightly.
• Add the mushrooms , broccoli, and red pepper, plus 3 to 4 more tablespoons of the stir-fry sauce. Continue stir-frying until the mushrooms and red pepper soften and the broccoli turns bright green but is still crisp, 3 to 4 minutes.
• Add the noodles plus the remaining stir-fry sauce. Using 2 utensils, lift and turn the noodles in the pan to combine with the vegetables. Stir-fry in this way for 3 to 5 more minutes, or until you are happy with the softness and texture of the noodles.
• During the last 1 minute of cooking time, fold in the bean sprouts.
• Taste-test the noodles, adding up to 1 more tablespoon fish sauce or soy sauce if not salty or flavorful enough. If too salty for your taste or too sweet, add 1/2 to 1 tablespoon more lime juice. If too sour, add a little more sugar. More chile can be added if you prefer it spicier. Serve immediately in bowls or plates, topped with a sprinkling of fresh basil or coriander.
