Stir Fried Soba Noodles With Beef And Cabbage Recipes

STIR-FRIED SOBA NOODLES WITH BEEF AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, cut the beef across the grain into thin slices, then cut the slices into matchsticks.
• In a bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, 1/4 cup peanut oil, and ginger.
• Add the beef and stir to coat evenly.
• Cover and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, for at least 1 hour or up to 3 hours.
• Bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil.
• Add 2 tbsp salt and the noodles to the boiling water, stir well and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 5-7 minutes; drain the noodles.
• Meanwhile, in a wok or large fry pan, heat 1 tbsp peanut oil over med-high heat.
• Add the garlic and green onions and stir fry until lightly colored, about 1 minute.
• Increase heat to high, add the beef and its marinade, and stir fry until lightly browned, about 8 minutes.
• Add the cabbage and 1 1/2 cups of the broth and toss to combine.
• Cover, decrease heat to med-high and cook until the cabbage wilts, about 4 minutes.
• In a small bowl, whisk the cornstarch into the remaining 1/2 cup broth.
• Add the cornstarch mixture to the pan, and stir and toss to incorporate.
• Add the snow peas, stir and toss to combine, cover, and cook until just tender, about 2 minutes.
• Take care not to overcook; the snow peas and cabbage should remain crisp.
• Add the noodles to the pan and stir and toss until well combined.
• Garnish with the toasted sesame seeds, and serve.

STIR-FRIED SOBA NOODLES WITH TURKEY AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• In a large bowl stir together egg white, cornstarch, 1 1/2 teaspoons of rice wine or sherry, salt to taste and 1 1/2 teaspoons water. When you can no longer see any undissolved cornstarch add turkey and stir until coated. Cover bowl and place in refrigerator for 30 minutes.
• Combine stock, soy sauce, remaining rice wine or sherry, salt to taste and sugar in a small bowl and stir until salt and sugar dissolve. Combine garlic, ginger, and pepper flakes or minced chile in another bowl. Have everything within reach of your wok.
• Cook the soba in a large saucepan and toss with 2 teaspoons sesame oil. Do not drain the water. Bring it back to a boil and turn the heat down so that water is at a bare simmer. Carefully add turkey to the water, stirring so that the pieces don't clump. Cook until turkey turns opaque on the surface but is not cooked through, about 1 minute. Drain in a colander, then on paper towels.
• Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the wok. Swirl in grapeseed oil, peanut oil, sunflower oil or canola oil and add garlic, ginger and chile mixture. Stir-fry no more than 10 seconds and add turkey, cabbage and the light parts of the scallions. Stir-fry 2 minutes. Add noodles and the broth mixture. Reduce heat to medium and stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes. Add cilantro and dark green part of the scallions and stir-fry another 30 seconds to a minute, until well combined. Serve, garnished with cilantro sprigs if desired.
