Spicy Peanut Noodles With Ground Pork And Shredded Vegetables Recipes

CHINESE NOODLES WITH PORK & SPICY PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Set a large pot of water to boil for the pasta. Cook the noodles according to the package directions and drain. While you're waiting for the water to boil, start assembling the pork and sauce. Assemble the sauce: Use a fork to whisk together the chicken broth, hoisin sauce, and soy sauce together in a glass measuring cup. Set near the stovetop. Brown the pork: Heat 1 tablespoon canola oil in a large sauté pan over medium heat. Brown the pork until no longer pink, breaking it up with the back of a spoon as you go. Add the red pepper flakes, half of the green onions, garlic, and ginger. Stir to combine. Heat until fragrant. Pour in the pre-whisked sauce and add the two tablespoons of peanut butter. Stir to combine. Heat until sauce bubbles and thickens and then reduce heat to low and keep warm while the pasta finishes cooking. Add the drained noodles to the sauté pan and toss together with a pair of tongs so that they are all coated with sauce. Garnish with remaining green onions and serve.

SPICY PEANUT NOODLES

Steps:

• Cook the noodles according to the package instructions.
• Meanwhile, combine the peanut butter, chili crisp, sesame oil, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar and ginger in a large bowl and whisk to combine. (The sauce might look curdled, but keep whisking until smooth.)
• Drain the noodles, add them to the bowl with the sauce and toss until the noodles are nicely coated. Garnish with chopped scallions and peanuts. Add additional chili crisp if you prefer more spice.

PEANUT NOODLES WITH PORK

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs. Reserve 1/2 cup cooking water, then drain. Whisk the peanut butter, vinegar, 2 tablespoons each water and soy sauce, 1 tablespoon sesame oil, the carrots and half of the jalapeno in a large bowl. Add the noodles and toss to coat.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons sesame oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the scallion whites, ginger and garlic; cook, stirring, until golden, about 2 minutes. Add the pork and cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until browned, about 5 minutes. Stir in the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce.
• Transfer the pork mixture to the bowl with the noodles. Add half of the scallion greens and cilantro and toss to coat, adding enough of the reserved pasta water to loosen. Serve topped with the remaining jalapeno, scallion greens and cilantro.

SPICY PEANUT PORK NOODLES (GLUTEN FREE)

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with water and bring to a boil (this will be for the noodles in a bit). While the water comes to a boil, make the peanut sauce.
• In a mini food processor, combine all of the ingredients and blend until smooth (the sauce will taste quite strong at this point, but it will mellow considerably when tossed with the broth and noodles). Do Ahead: The sauce can be refrigerated for up to 2 days.
• Cook the noodles in the boiling water according to the package directions. Drain and rinse in cold water.
• Heat the oil in a 12-inch pan over high heat until it's shimmering. Add the pork, and season with salt and pepper. Break up the meat with a wooden spoon, then let it cook without stirring until it's brown and crispy on the bottom in several places, about 3-5 minutes. Scooch the meat to one side of the pan (it's okay if it's not fully cooked at this point), tilt the pan, and spoon off the fat (discard the fat).
• Add the garlic (if using), and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add the spinach and cook, tossing with tongs, until wilted.
• Reduce the heat to medium-low. Stir in the chicken broth and peanut sauce. Add the cooked noodles. Cook, stirring (tongs are helpful here), until the sauce is bubbling and has evenly coated the noodles (it will only take a minute or two). If the pan looks dry, add more broth as needed (this will depend on the brand of rice noodles you use). Stir in the scallions, and season with salt and pepper.
• Swirl the pork noodles into serving bowls and garnish with more scallions and chopped peanuts. Serve with Sambal Oelek or sriracha for drizzling.

SPICY PEANUT NOODLES WITH GROUND PORK AND SHREDDED VEGETABLES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the rice noodles and cook, stirring often, until just tender, about 5 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold running water; leave to drain in a colander. Meanwhile, heat 2 tsp. of the oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and ½ tsp. salt and cook, stirring to break up the meat, until just cooked through, 4 to 8 minutes; set aside. In a large bowl, whisk the peanut butter, vinegar, fish sauce, the remaining 1 tsp. oil, and 3 Tbs. warm water until smooth. Add the drained noodles, pork, jalapeños, carrots, squash, and all but 2 Tbs. of the mint and toss gently. Garnish with the remaining mint, and serve at room temperature with the lime wedges on the side.
