SPICY SESAME NOODLES WITH CHICKEN AND PEANUTS

Steps:

• In a medium heatproof bowl, stir together the red-pepper flakes, soy sauce and sesame oil. Set next to the stovetop.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Meanwhile, in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium heat, cook the 1/2 cup oil, peanuts and orange rind, shaking the pan occasionally, until the peanuts are golden and bubbling, 3 to 5 minutes. Immediately pour the contents of the skillet over the red-pepper mixture (be careful of splattering!) and set aside.
• Meanwhile, in the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add the chicken and press it down with a wooden spoon into a thin layer. Season with salt and a generous amount of black pepper and cook, without stirring, occasionally pressing the layer of chicken down, until the bottom is browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Break the chicken up into small pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more.
• While the chicken cooks, cook the noodles according to package directions, until chewy but not soft. Drain and toss with a bit of sesame oil.
• Remove and discard the orange rind from the chile oil. Off the heat, add enough chile oil to coat the chicken and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Add the noodles and toss, adding more chile oil to fully coat the noodles and chicken. (If you don't use all of the chile oil, you can store it in the refrigerator for 2 weeks in an airtight container.) Top with chives and serve at once.

SPICY THAI CHICKEN AND VEGGIE NOODLES

Steps:

• Cook noodles: Cook the Asian style noodles according to package directions.
• Make the sauce: Whisk all the sauce ingredients together in a medium size bowl and set aside.
• Saute the veggies: Heat the sesame oil in a skillet over medium-high heat. Add the sliced mushrooms to the skillet and cook for about 5 minutes or until the mushrooms begin to brown, stirring them occasionally. Once the mushrooms have browned, add the sliced peppers and garlic and cook for an additional 3 minutes until the peppers begin to soften.
• Finish the noodles: Add the chopped chicken to the skillet and toss everything together, then pour the sauce and stir. Cook for 2 more minutes until the sauce comes to a boil. At this time you can taste and season with salt and pepper if needed. Add cooked noodles and toss everything together. The noodles will absorb all the extra sauce.
• Garnish and serve: Garnish with chopped green onions and peanuts.

SWEET & SPICY HOT CHILI CHICKEN NOODLES WITH BASIL

Steps:

• Add sesame oil to a large pot and place over medium-high heat. Add ground chicken to the pot and season generously with salt and pepper. Brown the meat and break up into medium-sized chunks; cooking for about 5 minutes or until nice and golden underneath. Next, add in ginger, garlic, coconut sugar to the chicken and continue to cook about 4-5 minutes longer or until meat is almost all the way cooked, breaking up into smaller chunks as you cook it.
• Once meat is cooked, stir in tomato paste, fresh chopped basil and hot chili paste for 30 seconds to 1 minute, then add in the soy sauce, rice vinegar and water. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low and cook uncovered, stirring every so often until sauce begins to thicken. This should take about 30 minutes.
• While the sauce cooks, you can make your pasta: cook pasta until al dente according to directions on the package. Once pasta is done, drain, then add back to the pot with the meat sauce (once it is done cooking!) and stir well to allow the meat to coat the noodles. Divide noodles into bowls and garnish with LOTS of basil ribbons, chopped cashews/peanuts extra red pepper flakes, if desired. Serves 4.

COOL SPICY NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• Prepare the dressing by whisking the oils, sugar and soy sauce together. Add the garlic, ginger, chili flakes and hot garlic sauce. If you are not a fan of fiery fare, add either the flakes or sauce, not both. Squeeze 3 tablespoons (45 mL) juice from the lime and whisk in. Taste and add salt if needed. If making ahead, cover and refrigerate for up to 2 days.
• Cook the noodles following package directions. Chop the peppers and prepare the carrots and add to the pasta for the last 2 minutes of cooking. Drain noodles and peppers and place in a large bowl. Add the green onions and immediately whisk the dressing and pour in. Toss until evenly coated. Stir in the chicken. Refrigerate and stir a couple of times until chilled. Serve right away or refrigerate overnight. Toss with the coriander just before serving.
