SPICY PAN-FRIED NOODLES



Spicy Pan-Fried Noodles image

Garlicky, gingery and as spicy as you dare to make it, this Asian-influenced pan-fried noodle dish comes together in minutes. Most of the ingredients are pantry staples, which means you can make it whenever you need a comforting noodle dish that comes with a bite. If you can't find the Chinese egg noodles (also called Hong Kong-style noodles), you can make this with rice noodles or soba. The key is to only boil them until they are halfway done. (They should be pliable but still firm in the center.) They will finish cooking when you pan-fry them.

Time 20m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 cup thinly sliced scallions (about a bunch; use both whites and greens)
3 tablespoons soy sauce, more to taste
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
2 teaspoons rice wine or sherry vinegar
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1/4 teaspoon kosher salt, more as needed
6 ounces Chinese (also called Hong Kong) egg noodles, soba noodles or rice noodles
2 1/2 tablespoons peanut, grapeseed, safflower or vegetable oil, more as needed
5 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
2 large eggs, beaten with a fork
2 cups washed baby spinach or 1/2 cup thawed edamame (optional)
1 to 2 teaspoons sriracha or other hot sauce, or to taste
Juice of 1/2 lime, or to taste
1 cup cilantro leaves
2 tablespoons sesame seeds or chopped roasted peanuts, optional

Steps:

  • In a small bowl, combine the scallions, soy sauce, ginger, rice wine or vinegar, sesame oil and salt. Let stand while you prepare the noodles.
  • In a large pot of boiling water, cook noodles until they are halfway done according to package instructions. (They should still be quite firm.) Drain well and toss with 1/2 tablespoon of the peanut oil to keep them from sticking, and spread them out on a plate or baking sheet.
  • In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the remaining 2 tablespoons of peanut oil. Add the garlic and cook until crisp and golden around the edges, 1 to 2 minutes. Add half the scallion mixture and stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add noodles; stir-fry until noodles are hot and lightly coated with sauce, about 30 seconds. Add eggs, spinach or edamame if using, sriracha, and remaining scallion mixture and continue to stir-fry until the eggs are cooked, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat and stir in lime juice. Garnish with cilantro and sesame seeds or peanuts.

Time 15m

Yield 3

Number Of Ingredients 10

3 tablespoons reduced-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 ½ tablespoons brown sugar
1 tablespoon rice vinegar
2 teaspoons chili-garlic sauce, or more to taste
1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger
3 tablespoons creamy peanut butter
2 (3 ounce) packages ramen noodles
2 tablespoons chopped peanuts
2 medium green onions, thinly sliced diagonally

Steps:

  • Whisk soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar, rice vinegar, chili garlic sauce, and ginger together in a small bowl. Add peanut butter, whisking until well combined, and set aside.
  • Bring 4 cups of water to a boil in a pot. Discard the flavor packet and add ramen noodles to the boiling water. Cook until noodles are tender, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain noodles, reserving some of the noodle water in case you need to thin out the sauce later.
  • Pour sauce over ramen noodles, tossing until well coated. If sauce is too thick, thin out with a small amount of the reserved noodle water until you reach your desired consistency. Your hot noodles will soak up the sauce. Garnish with peanuts and green onion, and serve.
