Black Sesame Noodle Bowl Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and cook until barely tender, about 5 minutes. They should retain a hint of chewiness. Drain, rinse with cold water, drain again and toss with a splash of sesame oil.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the remaining 2 tablespoons sesame oil, the soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame paste, peanut butter, sugar, ginger, garlic and chili-garlic paste.
• Pour the sauce over the noodles and toss. Transfer to a serving bowl, and garnish with cucumber and peanuts.

Steps:

• Season chicken with five-spice powder.
• Heat grapeseed oil in a cast iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add chicken and cook and stir until browned and no longer pink in the center, 7 to 10 minutes. Remove from the skillet and cut into bite-sized pieces.
• Meanwhile, fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rapid boil. Cook egg noodles at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, 7 to 9 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Heat sesame oil in a wok over medium-high heat. Add cabbage and carrot and cook and stir for 2 to 3 minutes. Add bell pepper, poblano pepper, and green onions; stir. Add snow peas, mushrooms, garlic, and ginger; mix well. Add drained noodles and chicken and combine well.
• Combine brown sugar, soy sauce, sesame oil, chili paste, and Sriracha for sauce in a large bowl. Use a whisk to stir well.
• Stir sauce into wok and cook for 3 minutes. Serve.
