Carrot Ginger And Chicken Noodles Recipes

CARROT-GINGER CHICKEN AND RICE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Put the rice, cinnamon, 1/2 teaspoon salt, and pepper to taste in a saucepan and cover with water by 1 inch. Cover and bring to a boil over high heat, then uncover and cook until the rice is just tender, about 8 minutes. Drain; reserve the cinnamon stick.
• Pulse the ginger, coriander, 1 teaspoon salt, 1/2 teaspoon pepper and 1 tablespoon water in a mini food processor. Heat the vegetable oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the onion and cook until golden, about 8 minutes. Add the ginger mixture and carrots and cook 2 minutes, adding a splash of water if the mixture sticks. Stir in 1/3 cup water, the chicken, herbs and yogurt and heat through. Season with salt.
• Top the chicken mixture with the rice and the reserved cinnamon stick; sprinkle with the almonds. Bake until the rice is cooked through and the almonds are lightly toasted, 8 to 12 minutes.

STIR-FRIED CARROT NOODLES WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• In a bowl, combine the chicken with 2 teaspoons oil, sesame oil, cornstarch, sugar or honey, 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce, and crushed red pepper flakes. Set aside to marinate for 30 minutes.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a wok or skillet over medium heat. Add the ginger, and fry for 1-2 minutes, until fragrant and slightly crisp. Add the chicken all in 1 layer, and allow to sear on one side for 1 minute.
• Once seared, stir-fry the chicken for a few seconds, and then add the carrot noodles. Stir-fry for another 1-2 minutes, and add an additional tablespoon of soy sauce, along with the scallions. Stir-fry for 1 minute, and then add the baby spinach.
• Stir in the spinach until it's just wilted (it should only take a few seconds). Serve, and top with more chopped scallions if desired!

HONEY GINGER CARROTS

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil. Add carrots and cook until tender but still firm, about 5 minutes. Drain.
• In a large skillet over low heat, melt butter with honey. Stir in ground ginger and lemon juice. Stir in carrots and simmer until heated through.

CARROT-GINGER AND CHICKEN NOODLES

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until slightly softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the carrots, 2 1/2 cups water, vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, curry powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook until the carrots are tender, about 15 minutes. Let the mixture cool. Transfer the mixture to a blender and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Keep the sauce at room temperature.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain, toss with some oil and cool to room temperature. Add the carrot-ginger sauce, chicken, scallions and some salt. Add some hot water to thin out the sauce if necessary. The noodles should be fairly loose and slippery, as the pasta will absorb much of the sauce once it is refrigerated. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
