Cilantro Chicken And Spicy Thai Noodles Recipes

Steps:

• For the chicken, combine all the ingredients in a nonreactive bowl and let stand at room temperature for 20 minutes. Prepare a grill pan to medium-high heat and grill the chicken thighs 4 minutes per side or until done.
• For the sauce, add canola oil to a saute pan over medium heat. Add the ginger, lime zest, juice, garlic, red pepper flakes and chicken stock. Stir well to combine and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Add the curry paste, seasoned rice vinegar and scallions. Reduce the heat to low and simmer 2 minutes.
• Place the cooked noodles in a large serving bowl and add sauce, carrots and peanuts - toss well. Add the cilantro chicken and serve.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large pot over medium-high heat, and saute the onion until tender. Place the chicken in the pot, and cook until lightly browned.
• Puree the cilantro, garlic, and 1/3 cup water in a blender or food processor. Mix into the pot with the chicken and onions. Cook and stir about 5 minutes, until mixed and heated through. Pour enough water into the pot to cover all ingredients.
• Mix the hominy, rice, and bouillon into the pot. Bring to a boil, reduce heat, cover, and simmer 20 minutes, or until rice is tender. Increase the amount of water as needed to attain desired consistency. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Place all the ingredients above in a food processor and process until smooth.
• Pour marinade over chicken breast and let flavors sink in for 15 minutes in the refrigerator.
• Prepare your grill or broiler.
• Cook until temperature registers 165F on the meat thermometer.
• Let the chicken breasts rest for 5 minutes before serving, this prevents the meat from drying up.

Steps:

• 1. Mix sugar, lime juice and fish sauce in small bowl. Set aside. Bring large pot of water to boil. Remove from heat. Add red rice noodles, stirring to separate noodles in water. Let stand 5 to 7 minutes or until noodles are tender but firm. (If you are using Asian wheat noodles, you will need to actually cook them for 5-7 minutes rather than merely letting them soak in hot water.) Drain well. Place in serving bowl. Set aside.
• 2. Meanwhile, heat oil in large skillet or wok on medium-high heat. Add garlic and chile; stir fry 15 seconds or until fragrant. Add chicken, carrots and green onions; stir fry 3 to 5 minutes or until chicken is cooked through.
• 3. Stir in fish sauce mixture; stir fry 1 minute. Add basil (or cilantro); stir fry 30 seconds or until basil (or cilantro) is wilted. Add to noodles in bowl; toss to coat. Serve immediately.
• Tip: Thai basil has dark green leaves with purple stems and has a licorice flavor. It can be found in most Asian markets. If unavailable, substitute Italian basil.
