Best Vegetable Stir Fry With Glass Noodles Recipes

STIR-FRIED VEGETARIAN GLASS NOODLES, MALAYSIAN HAWKER STYLE

Steps:

• For the noodles: Soak the dried glass noodles in 4 cups of warm water for 30 minutes. Drain and set aside. While the noodles are soaking, prepare the cooking sauce and the garnish sauce.
• For the cooking sauce: In a small bowl, mix the tamarind paste with 3 tablespoons water. Using a metal spoon or your fingers, break the tamarind into small pieces to infuse the water. Allow to sit for a few minutes. Place a small strainer over a clean bowl, and strain the tamarind mixture, squeezing on it to remove all liquid; discard the solids. There will be 1 to 1 1/2 tablespoons of a slightly thick liquid. Add the soy sauce, sweet soy sauce, oyster sauce, sesame oil, and hot chili paste. Mix well, and set aside.
• For the garnish sauce: In a small bowl, mix together the chili sauce, lime juice, minced fresh chili, and garlic. Set aside.
• To finish and serve: Place a wok or large sauté pan over medium-high heat. Add 2 tablespoons of the canola oil, and heat until shimmering. Add the egg, and when the bottom and edge are starting to form a crust, flip it, and stir fry until golden and almost crisp, breaking into rough strands. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Add garlic and cook until fragrant but not brown, about 30 seconds. Add carrot, chives and green beans and stir-fry until crisp-tender, 1 to 2 minutes. Add noodles and continue to stir vigorously to keep the noodles from sticking, about 2 minutes. Add cooking sauce and bean sprouts; toss well and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes. Drizzle the garnish sauce on top of the noodles as desired, and serve with lime wedges on the side.

CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE GLASS NOODLE STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Bring water to a boil. Add glass noodles and cook until transparent, 3 to 6 minutes.
• Warm sesame oil in a wok or large nonstick skillet over high heat. Add shallot and stir-fry until slightly softened, about 30 seconds. Add garlic and continue to stir-fry until the shallot begins to color, about 2 minutes. Add chicken; cook and stir until opaque, 1 to 2 minutes. Add carrot and bell pepper; stir-fry for 4 minutes. Add zucchini and mushrooms; stir fry for 3 minutes more.
• Push the contents of the wok to one side. Pour fish sauce, oyster sauce, and coconut aminos into the other side and wait until bubbling. Add cooked noodles. Quickly stir and toss to combine noodles, sauce, and chicken mixture. Sprinkle with lime juice and garnish with the green onions.

VEGETABLE STIR-FRY WITH GLASS NOODLES

Steps:

• Soak the noodles in warm water for 20 minutes or until soft. Drain. Cover the mushrooms with 1 cup warm water and soak for 20 minutes. Reserve the liquid, discard the stems, and slice the caps into strips. Thinly slice carrots, and bok choy. Halve green bean if using. Keep snow peas whole, if using. Heat the wok, and add 2 tablespoons of the oil, and swirl around. When hot, add the garlic ginger, onion and mushrooms. Stir-fry for 1 minute, then add the prepared vegetables. Salt lightly and stir-fry for 4 to 5 minutes or until tender-firm. Remove vegetables and set aside. Heat the third tablespoon oil in the wok, add the noodles, soy sauce, and mushroom water, and simmer for 2 minutes. Return the vegetables to the wok, add the diluted cornstarch, and cook until the vegetables are glazed. Toss with the dark sesame oil and serve.
