PORK NOODLE SOUP WITH GINGER AND TOASTED GARLIC



Pork Noodle Soup With Ginger and Toasted Garlic image

This soup, based mostly on pantry staples, can be made with a variety of proteins, noodles and greens depending on what you have on hand. Snow pea leaves are exceptional here, which can be found in many Asian grocers year-round, but spinach, Swiss chard or other dark leafy green would work well. Don't skip the raw onion, the soup's finished complexity depends on it.

Time 35m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

3 tablespoons neutral oil, grapeseed, vegetable or canola
8 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
1 pound ground pork
1 1/2 teaspoons red-pepper flakes, plus more to taste
Kosher salt and black pepper
4 cups chicken broth
3 tablespoons soy sauce or tamari, plus more to taste
1 large bunch pea leaves or spinach, thick stems removed, leaves coarsely chopped
1 tablespoon finely grated fresh ginger (from about a 1 1/2-inch piece)
6 ounces rice noodles (thick- or thin-cut), cooked and drained
1/2 medium red, yellow or white onion or 3 scallions, thinly sliced
1 cup cilantro, leaves and tender stems, coarsely chopped

Steps:

  • Heat vegetable oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot over medium.
  • Add garlic and cook, stirring occasionally, until the slices become nicely toasted and golden brown, 2 or 3 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, remove garlic and set aside.
  • Add pork and red-pepper flakes to the pot, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, using a wooden spoon or spatula to break up large pieces, until the pork is well browned and in small bite-size pieces, 5 to 8 minutes.
  • Add chicken broth, soy sauce and 4 cups water. Bring to a simmer and cook for about 5 to 8 minutes or so, until the pork is very tender and the broth tastes impossibly good. (Give it a taste and season with salt, pepper, red-pepper flakes and soy sauce, if you want.) Add pea leaves, half of the onion slices, and all of the ginger. Stir to wilt the leaves.
  • To serve, ladle soup over noodles and top with remaining onion, cilantro and toasted garlic.

1 cup cold water
6 cups low-salt chicken broth
2 (1-inch-diameter 1/8-inch-thick slices) peeled fresh ginger
1 pound fresh Shanghai noodles
3 tablespoons peanut oil or vegetable oil, divided
12 ounces pork butt, trimmed, cut into 2-inch-long matchstick-size strips
1 tablespoon Shaoxing wine (Chinese rice wine) or dry Sherry

1 cup drained canned bamboo shoot strips (most of one 8-ounce can)

SPICY GLASS NOODLES WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS AND CABBAGE



Spicy Glass Noodles With Shiitake Mushrooms and Cabbage image

Glass noodles readily soak up their surrounding seasonings - and this dish delivers a smack of umami with curry powder, soy sauce, sesame oil and fresh ginger. Also known as bean thread noodles or cellophane noodles, gluten-free glass noodles are often combined with vegetables and used as a filling for dumplings or spring rolls, or added to soups, braised dishes or stir-fries for heft. Here, the transparent threads are tossed with curry-spiced Napa cabbage and dried shiitake mushrooms, which have more complex, earthy notes than fresh. Bright cilantro and ginger round out the dish, which is equally good warm or at room temperature.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 bundles dried glass noodles (about 5 ounces)
8 dried shiitake mushrooms (about 1/2 ounce)
3 tablespoons grapeseed oil
2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
1 (2-inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and julienned
1 scallion, trimmed and finely chopped
1 pound Napa or green cabbage (about 1/3 medium cabbage), cored and thinly sliced into 1/4-inch-wide strips
1 teaspoon Indian or Vietnamese curry powder
4 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil
3 tablespoons fresh cilantro leaves and stems

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.
