Citrus Soy Stir Fry Noodle Bowls Recipes

CITRUS CHICKEN STIR FRY

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil.
• Stir in whole-wheat noodles and return to a boil. Cook uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through but is firm to the bite, 5 to 8 minutes. Drain well and set aside.
• Combine chicken stock, orange marmalade, tamari sauce, whole ginger root piece, and ground black pepper in a pot over medium-high heat.
• Bring sauce to a boil and reduce heat to medium. Simmer until sauce reduces and thickens; about 20 minutes.
• Remove sauce from heat. Stir in lemon juice and set aside.
• Heat peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat.
• Cook and stir chicken in hot oil until golden, no longer pink in the center, and the juices run clear, 5 to 10 minutes.
• Remove chicken from skillet and set aside, leaving oil in the pan.
• Cook and stir the stir-fry vegetables in the same skillet used for the chicken until vegetables are almost tender, 4 to 5 minutes.
• Remove ginger root piece from sauce and discard.
• Stir chicken and sauce into vegetables and cook until heated through, 1 to 2 minutes.
• Serve over whole-wheat noodles.

CITRUS SOY STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil for the pasta. Salt the water and cook the pasta to al dente.
• Prepare all the ingredients and pile them near the stovetop. Mix together the orange marmalade, ginger, garlic, stock, tamari, black pepper and hot sauce in a bowl.
• Once the pasta is dropped into the pot, heat the oil in a large nonstick skillet over high heat. When the oil smokes, add the chicken or the pork and stir-fry for 1 to 2 minutes, then add the vegetables and stir-fry for 3 minutes more. Stir in the sauce and toss for 1 minute, then drain the pasta and combine. For shrimp, stir-fry it for 1 minute, add the edamame, snowpeas, and scallions. Stir-fry for 3 minutes more, then add the sauce and toss with the pasta.

GINGER CHICKEN STIR-FRY ROMAINE WRAPS WITH CITRUS SOY (PF CHANG)

Steps:

• Place the chicken in a mixing bowl and add 2 tablespoons soy bean oil, ginger, garlic, chili flakes, and 2 tablespoons soy sauce. Mix together in circular motion until well mixed. Marinate in refrigerator for 2-4 hours.
• Mix together the citrus juices, soy, and hoisin sauce with a whisk. Reserve until needed. Clean the romaine lettuce, chopping off the stem, peeling each 'spear' and running under clean cold water. Reserve in refrigerator until ready to use. Chop scallions into rings and reserve chilled.
• Coat a very hot sauté pan lightly with soy bean oil. Sauté the chicken (in a thin layer), searing until crispy and golden brown, about 2 ½ minutes. Once chicken is brown, toss gently in pan and sear another 2 ½ minutes. The pan will appear to "burn", but that is the carmelization and where all the flavor comes from.
• Add ½ of the citrus soy mixture to the sauté pan and coat well. Let the sauce coat the chicken until it is glazed, and thickens on the chicken. Add more or less depending on how "wet" you want your mixture. Spoon chicken onto a plate.
• Wrap the chicken mixture onto the romaine lettuce and top with scallion rings. Serve and enjoy!

CITRUS SOY STIR-FRY (NOODLE BOWLS)

Steps:

• In a medium pot over high heat, combine the stock, tamari, ginger knob, marmalade and a hearty pinch of pepper. Bring up to a bubble, then reduce the heat to medium and reduce until thickened, about 20 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the lemon juice and reserve.
• Place a large skillet over medium-high heat with 3 turns of the pan of oil, about 3 tablespoons. When the pan is smoking hot, add the meat or shrimp to the pan and cook, tossing frequently, until golden and cooked through; 5-6 minutes for the shrimp or 7-8 minutes for the meat. Remove the meat from the pan and reserve on a plate.
• Return the pan to the heat, add the scallions and sauté until tender and aromatic, about 1 minute. Add the remaining veggies to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until crisp tender, 4-5 minutes. Add the reserved meat or shrimp and sauce to the pan and toss to heat through and combine. Serve the stir fry over rice or whole wheat noodles.
