Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 1/4 pounds boneless skinless chicken breasts or thighs (thinly sliced then cut into bite-sized pieces)
4 tablespoons low sodium soy sauce (plus additional to taste, divided)
3 cloves garlic (minced)
1 small bunch green onions (thinly sliced (about 1 cup), divided)
2 tablespoons hoisin sauce
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger
1 tablespoon rice wine vinegar
2 tablespoons grapeseed oil or canola oil (divided)
6 ounces dry long noodles (such as soba (udon) noodles or whole wheat spaghetti or whole wheat linguine noodles)
6 cups thinly sliced vegetables
2 large eggs (lightly beaten)
1 to 2 teaspoons sriracha or other hot sauce (or to taste)

Steps:

  • Place the chicken in a bowl and toss with 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Let sit while you prep the remaining ingredients.
  • In a small bowl or large liquid measuring cup, combine the three-quarters of the green onions, the remaining 3 tablespoons soy sauce, hoisin, garlic, ginger, and vinegar. Set near the stove. Reserve the remaining green onions for serving.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook noodles until they are about 1 to 2 minutes from done, according to package instructions. They should be very al dente, still a little too firm to eat, but not excessively hard and chewy. Drain and toss with 1/2 tablespoon of the oil to prevent sticking.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat 1/2 tablespoon oil. Once the oil is hot, add the chicken. Cook until golden and fully cooked through, about 3 to 4 minutes. Remove to a plate.
  • To the now-empty skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add the vegetables and cook until they begin to brown and soften but are still fairly crisp, about 3 to 4 minutes.
  • Add half the scallion mixture and saute until fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Add the noodles. Cook, using tongs to toss the noodles and coat them with the sauce, for 30 seconds.
  • Add the eggs, sriracha, chicken, and remaining scallion mixture.
  • Continue to stir fry and toss the noodles, until the eggs are cooked through and the noodles are tender, 1 to 2 minutes longer.
  • Remove from heat. Sprinkle with the reserved green onions.

KID FRIENDLY STIR FRY VEGETABLES & NOODLES



Kid Friendly Stir Fry Vegetables & Noodles image

This one came to being late one evening when my son asked for noodles for dinner and I needed to make something quick. The veg can be swapped for things you know your child likes. Adjust quantities according to how many people you are feeding.

Time 15m

Yield 2-4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

ribbon noodles (as many nests as needed)
1 large carrots or 2 medium carrots, sliced very thinly
1 onion, chopped into very small strips
1 red pepper, sliced thinly
1 cup peas
1 cup sweetcorn
1 (500 g) packet quorn pieces, peices (optional, chilled or frozen) (optional)
olive oil, for stir fry
butter, small knob for dressing noodles
ground pepper
sweet chili sauce (or similar)

Steps:

  • Place pan of water on to boil. Whilst it's heating prep your veg.
  • Just before water for the noodles hits boiling point put a wok or large heavy based frying pan to heat as hot as you can possibly get it and had about a tablespoon (15ml) of olive oil. Place noodles in water and boil for roughly 2 minutes (please check instructions on your noodles first).
  • When oil is hot add the quorn (if using), carrot and onion to the wok and toss (or stir). Separate noodles with a fork and test a strip, if not ready keep them simmering. Add red pepper, peas and sweetcorn to the wok and stir. Add a teaspoon of chilli sauce and a teaspoon of water to wok and stir.
  • Take noodle of the heat and drain. Add some butter and a good twist of black pepper to the noodle and toss to coat all the noodles with butter. Place in a serving bowl. Take stir fry off heat and add to separate serving bowl, add some spoons and instruct starving children to help themselves. Serve.
