SPICY SESAME NOODLES WITH CHICKEN AND PEANUTS



Spicy Sesame Noodles With Chicken and Peanuts image

In this quick and spicy weeknight noodle dish, sizzling hot oil is poured over red-pepper flakes, orange peel, crunchy peanuts, soy sauce and sesame oil. While you brown the ground chicken, the mixture sits, and the flavors become more pronounced and fiery. Tossed with soft noodles and browned chicken, the bright chile-peanut oil shines. If you crave something green, throw in a quick-cooking green vegetable when you break up the chicken in Step 3. You can also swap the chicken with ground pork or beef, or crumbled tofu.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 tablespoons red-pepper flakes
1 1/2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, plus more as needed
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon neutral oil, like grapeseed or vegetable
6 tablespoons roasted, salted peanuts, coarsely chopped
Rind of 1/2 orange, peeled into 2- to 3-inch strips
1 pound ground chicken
10 to 12 ounces ramen or udon noodles, preferably fresh
3 tablespoons finely chopped chives

Steps:

  • In a medium heatproof bowl, stir together the red-pepper flakes, soy sauce and sesame oil. Set next to the stovetop.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Meanwhile, in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium heat, cook the 1/2 cup oil, peanuts and orange rind, shaking the pan occasionally, until the peanuts are golden and bubbling, 3 to 5 minutes. Immediately pour the contents of the skillet over the red-pepper mixture (be careful of splattering!) and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add the chicken and press it down with a wooden spoon into a thin layer. Season with salt and a generous amount of black pepper and cook, without stirring, occasionally pressing the layer of chicken down, until the bottom is browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Break the chicken up into small pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more.
  • While the chicken cooks, cook the noodles according to package directions, until chewy but not soft. Drain and toss with a bit of sesame oil.
  • Remove and discard the orange rind from the chile oil. Off the heat, add enough chile oil to coat the chicken and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Add the noodles and toss, adding more chile oil to fully coat the noodles and chicken. (If you don't use all of the chile oil, you can store it in the refrigerator for 2 weeks in an airtight container.) Top with chives and serve at once.

COLD NOODLES WITH SESAME SAUCE, CHICKEN AND CUCUMBERS



Cold Noodles With Sesame Sauce, Chicken And Cucumbers image

It doesn't surprise me how often people order cold noodles with sesame sauce at Chinese restaurants. What is surprising, though, is how few people make the dish at home. It is incredibly easy to prepare, with common ingredients, and you can serve it as a main course or appetizer. You don't even need sesame sauce. Peanut butter is an acceptable substitute, as long as you use good peanut butter, simply defined as that made with peanuts and salt. (The name brands contain about 10 percent added hydrogenated fat, plus a couple of other typical additives.) Creamy is more common, but chunky is also good. It's easy enough to buy sesame paste (tahini) at health-food stores specializing in Middle Eastern ingredients and even at supermarkets. Sesame oil, which contributes mightily to the flavor of the finished dish, is a staple sold in Asian food stores (and, increasingly, in supermarkets).

Categories     dinner, quick, noodles, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Salt
1 to 2 cups shredded cooked chicken or about 8 ounces boneless chicken breast
1 pound cucumber
12 ounces long pasta like linguine, or 16 ounces fresh Chinese egg noodles
2 tablespoons dark sesame oil
1/2 cup sesame paste (tahini) or peanut butter
2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons soy sauce, or to taste
1 teaspoon minced ginger, optional
1 tablespoon rice or wine vinegar
Hot sesame oil or Tabasco sauce to taste
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or more
At least 1/2 cup minced scallions for garnish

Steps:

  • Set a large pot of water to boil and salt it. If your chicken is uncooked, poach it in water as it comes to a boil; it will cook in about 10 minutes. Meanwhile, peel cucumbers, cut them in half, and, using a spoon, scoop out seeds. Cut cucumber into shreds and set aside.
  • When water comes to a boil, cook pasta until tender but not mushy. (If chicken is not done, you can still add pasta; remove chicken when it is done.) While pasta is cooking, whisk together sesame oil and paste, sugar, soy, ginger, vinegar, hot oil and pepper in a large bowl. Thin sauce with hot water, so that it is about the consistency of heavy cream; you will need 1/4 to 1/2 cup. Stir in cucumber. When pasta is done, drain it and run pasta (and chicken, if necessary) under cold water. Drain. Shred chicken (the easiest way to do this is with your fingers).
  • Toss noodles and chicken with sauce and cucumbers. Taste and adjust seasoning as necessary (the dish may need salt), then garnish and serve.

SPICY WHOLE WHEAT SESAME NOODLES WITH CHICKEN, GREEN ONIONS, AND CILANTRO image

Categories     Chicken     Quick & Easy

Yield 4 people

Number Of Ingredients 11

8 oz. whole wheat spaghetti (1/2 package)
salt for pasta water, about 2 tsp.
1 cup diced cooked chicken
1 cup sliced green onions
1/2 cup chopped cilantro
3 T rice vinegar (don't use seasoned rice vinegar which contains sugar)
5 T soy sauce
2 T vegetable oil
1 T Thai Chili Garlic Paste (you could also use Sriracha sauce, use more or less hot sauce to taste)
1 T minced fresh ginger root (could also use ground ginger from a jar, but freshly grated ginger would be more flavorful)
1 T Asian sesame oil

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil, add salt, then break spaghetti noodles in half and add to water. Stir, let it come to a boil again, then cook until noodles are tender but still have a little bite, about 8-9 minutes. While pasta water is coming to a boil, grate enough fresh ginger to make 1 T, then combine with rice vinegar, soy sauce, vegetable oil, Thai Chili Garlic Paste, and sesame oil. While the noodles are cooking, chop the chicken into same-size pieces about 1/2 inch square, and slice green onions. Wash cilantro, spin dry or dry with paper towels, and chop enough to make 1/2 cup. When noodles are cooked but still al dente, drain them into a colander placed in the sink. Put noodles back into pan you cooked them in and add the diced chicken. Pour sauce mixture over chicken and noodles, then toss well enough that noodles and chicken are well-coated with the sauce mixture. Add chopped green onions and chopped cilantro and toss just enough to combine. Serve immediately. This recipe can easily be doubled.

SESAME CHICKEN AND NOODLES IN MUSHROOM BROTH



Sesame Chicken and Noodles in Mushroom Broth image

Adapted from Cooking Light, August 2012 Although this has a broth component, it's not really a soup- more of a noodle bowl. If you would like it to be a soup, just increase the broth ingredients. The serrano chile gives it a touch of heat, but it's fairly mild. Prep time includes rehydrating the shitake mushrooms.

Provided by IngridH

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 50m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 16

4 dried shiitake mushrooms
1 cup water, boiling
1 cup chicken broth

4 baby bok choy, cut in half lengthwise
1 red bell pepper, sliced
1 lime, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • In a small saucepan, bring soaking liquid, broth, soy sauce, fish sauce, garlic, ginger and chile to a boil. Remove from the heat and reserve.
  • Bring a large pan of water to a boil. Add somen, and cook 3-4 minutes or until the noodles are tender. Drain, and set noodles aside.

SESAME CHICKEN AND NOODLES



SESAME CHICKEN AND NOODLES image

Categories     Chicken     Quick & Easy     Dinner

Yield 4?

Number Of Ingredients 15

1/4 cup sesame seeds
1/4 cup chunky peanut butter
2 medium garlic cloves, minced
1 Tablespoon fresh ginger, minced
5 Tablespoons soy sauce (you can use low-sodium)
2 Tablespoons rice vinegar
1 teaspoon hot pepper sauce (Tabasco)
2 Tablespoons packed light brown sugar
1 1/2 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breast
1 Tablespoon salt
1 pound fresh Asian noodles (or 12 ounces dried spaghetti)
2 Tablespoons toasted sesame oil
4 scallions, sliced thin
a medium carrot, grated
hot water

Steps:

  • 1) Toast sesame seeds in skillet over medium heat, until they turn golden and fragrant (10 minutes) 2) Save 1 tablespoon sesame seeds in a small bowl; With the remaining 3 tablespoons, puree in a blender or food processor along with peanut butter, garlic, ginger, soy sauce, vinegar, hot sauce and sugar, until smooth - 1 minute. While the machine is running, add hot water (1 tablespoon at a time) until the consistency is creamy. I usually use about 4-6 tablespoons. Set aside. 3)Bring about 6 quarts of water to a boil in a large stockpot. While you're waiting, heat broiler. Spray broiler pan with cooking spray, set pan about 6 inches from heat source. Put chicken breasts (halved) on pan and broil about 8 minutes. Flip chicken over and continue broiling another 8 minutes. Note, the time depends on your broiler. You should probably use a meat thermometer (160 degrees F). Transfer chicken to a cutting board, let rest for 5-10 minutes. Using two forks, shred chicken into small pieces and set them aside. Add salt and noodles to the boiling water and boil until tender (2-5 minutes for fresh noodles). Drain noodles, rinse with cold water and drain again. 4) In a large bowl, toss cooked noodles with sesame oil until well coated. Add shredded chicken, scallions, carrots and the sauce from step 1. Toss to combine. Sprinkle with remaining sesame seeds.
