Best Bean Thread Noodles With Shiitake And Vegetables Recipes

GLASS NOODLE CASSEROLE WITH SHIITAKES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 350°F.
• Soak the noodles in boiling water.
• When they are soft and transparent, drain well and discard any bits which stay white.
• Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables.
• Layer them in a small deep casserole dish with the noodles.
• Drizzle with the oyster sauce, and pour over the chicken stock, enough to just cover. (You may not need all 4 cups.)
• Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes.
• Serve garnished with the cilantro, if you like.

SPICY GLASS NOODLES WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Place the noodles in a large bowl, cover with room-temperature water and soak until pliable, about 30 minutes. Drain. Place dried shiitakes in a medium bowl, cover with room-temperature water and soak until hydrated and soft, about 30 minutes. Drain the mushrooms, remove their stems, and julienne the caps.
• While the noodles and mushrooms soak, heat the grapeseed oil in a large lidded skillet over medium-high, uncovered. Stir-fry the garlic, ginger and scallion until light golden, about 1 minute. Add the shiitakes and continue to stir-fry until golden, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in the cabbage and curry powder, then 3 tablespoons soy sauce. Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook until the cabbage is wilted and has given up its natural juices, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add the drained noodles and remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Increase heat to high, and stir-fry until noodles absorb the juices and are cooked through yet still chewy, 1 to 2 minutes. Drizzle with sesame oil, toss well, sprinkle with cilantro and serve immediately.

CHICKEN SOTANGHON

Steps:

• Bring 2 cups of water with 1 teaspoon salt to a boil in a pot; cook the chicken in the boiling water until until no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Reserving the liquid, remove the chicken and allow to cool before removing the meat from the bones and shredding with two forks. Discard the skin and bones.
• While the chicken cools place the shiitake mushrooms in a bowl and pour enough warm water over them to cover completely; allow to soak until pliable, about 30 minutes. Remove from the water, slice, and set aside. Place the bean thread noodles in the water and add more warm water if needed to cover; allow to soak until soft, about 10 minutes. Drain. Cut the noodles if desired.
• Heat the olive oil in a skillet over medium heat; cook and stir the onion and garlic until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the achiote powder and continue to cook and stir until the mixture is well coated with the red-orange color. Stir the shredded chicken meat, sliced shiitake mushrooms, and fish sauce into the mixture; season with salt and pepper to taste. Allow the mixture to cook about 5 minutes before pouring the reserved liquid from cooking the chicken and the chicken broth into the mixture. Bring to a boil for 5 minutes. Add the noodles and cook another 5 minutes. Garnish with the green onion to serve.

BEAN-THREAD NOODLES WITH SHIITAKE AND VEGETABLES

Steps:

• In a bowl soak noodles in warm water to cover 15 minutes. Drain noodles and cut into 3- to 4-inch lengths.
• In a large heavy saucepan cook mushrooms, onion, and gingerroot in oil over moderate heat, stirring, until mushrooms are tender. Add broth, water, carrot, noodles, and salt to taste and simmer, stirring occasionally, until liquid is absorbed, about 5 to 10 minutes. Stir in scallions.
