Chicken With Ginger Beet Noodles Recipes

GRILLED CHICKEN THIGHS WITH GINGER-SCALLION NOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high. Combine 2 tablespoons oyster sauce, 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, the five-spice powder, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of pepper in a large bowl. Add the chicken and toss to coat.
• Oil the grill grates. Grill the chicken until lightly charred and cooked through, 5 to 6 minutes per side. Transfer to a cutting board and let rest.
• Meanwhile, bring a medium saucepan of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs, adding the carrots and snow peas during the last minute of cooking. Drain the noodles and vegetables and transfer to a large bowl. Wipe out the saucepan and reserve. Snip the noodles into shorter pieces with kitchen shears.
• Finely chop the scallions and ginger in a food processor. Heat the remaining 5 tablespoons vegetable oil in the reserved saucepan over medium-high heat. Add the scallion-ginger mixture and cook, stirring, until softened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and stir in the soy sauce and vinegar. Add to the noodle mixture, season with salt and pepper and toss. Divide among plates; drizzle with the remaining 3 tablespoons oyster sauce.
• Slice the chicken and serve over the noodles.

COLD-BUSTING GINGER CHICKEN NOODLE SOUP

Steps:

• Heat olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add chicken, onion, and crushed garlic cloves; cook in hot oil until chicken breast is browned and onions start to turn translucent, about 5 minutes . Pour water, white wine, and lemon juice over the chicken mixture; stir sliced ginger, peppercorns, chicken bouillon, bay leaves, and white sugar into the liquid. Bring to a simmer, reduce heat to medium-low, and cook for 45 minutes.
• Remove and discard the crushed garlic cloves. Remove chicken breasts from the soup to a cutting board; chop into bite-size pieces.
• Add carrot, celery, kohlrabi, rosemary, and thyme to the soup. Reduce heat to low until the vegetables begin to soften, about 20 minutes.
• Bring the soup to a boil. Return chopped chicken to the soup along with the egg noodles, minced garlic, and grated ginger; remove the pot from heat and let sit until the noodles have softened, about 10 minutes. Season with salt. Garnish with parsley.

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.
