Dragon Noodles With Chicken Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Method 1: Boil fettuccine per package directions. About 8-10 minutes. (Wheat noodles) Method 2: Bring a large pot of water to boil. Dump in the rice noodles and turn off heat. Let noodles sit in the hot water for 7-9 minutes - depending on how soft you want them to be. I like mine soft, so I leave them in for about 9 minutes.
• 2. While noodles are cooking, make the sauce. You will have enough sauce to save for another time or to use on the side as extra. Put all ingredients for sauce in a small saucepan and cook until butter is melted and sauce mixes well (about 5 minutes). Taste and adjust the hot sriracha sauce to your family's taste. I also sometimes add about a 1/4 cup of beef broth or chicken broth to stretch the sauce. This recipe is easily adapted to the cook's imagination or taste. You can add minced garlic and ginger or even a tablespoon of peanut butter! Note: This sauce can be made ahead and refrigerated in a mason jar for up to a week.
• 3. In a frying pan, saute the chicken strips until cooked through, then add an egg(s) to scramble.
• 4. Add the cooked, drained noodles and sauce. Top with sliced green onions and chopped fresh cilantro. Note: You can add the veggies (carrots and mushrooms, bell peppers, etc.) with the chicken and saute together.
• 5. This may sound difficult, but it's very easy and comes together quickly.

Steps:

• To infuse oil, heat canola oil with garlic, ginger and chili flakes in a measuring cup in the microwave for 30 to 60 seconds (or heat in a very small pan over medium-low heat for 2 to 3 minutes) until hot with rising bubbles.
• Stir in sesame oil.
• If using within a few hours, leave at room temperature; otherwise cover and refrigerate until needed.
• Cover beans generously with cold water and bring to a boil.
• Reduce heat, cover and simmer 1 1/2 hours or until just tender.
• Check occasionally to make sure beans remain covered with simmering water.
• Drain and cool.
• Beans can be covered and refrigerated or frozen.
• Cook pasta in boiling salted water for the minimum number of minutes stated on pasta package, usually about 5 for vermicelli and 4 minutes for capelli d'angelo.
• Drain; immediately refresh under cold running water until cooled.
• Combine drained pasta, cooked beans, chicken, green onions, carrot and coriander in a large mixing bowl.
• Finely grate zest from lime and squeeze juice (about 2 tbsp/25 mL); stir zest and juice with sugar, soy sauce and salt.
• Then whisk into infused oil.
• Pour over pasta mixture; toss from the bottom of the bowl until ingredients are shiny and evenly mixed.
• Covered and refrigerated, salad keeps well for a day or two.

Steps:

• Boil the noodles and cook al dente according to the package directions.
• While waiting for the water to boil, prepare the sauce. In a small bowl stir together the brown sugar, soy sauce and sriracha.
• In a large skillet melt 2 tablespoons of butter over medium-low heat. Add the red pepper to the butter as it melts. Whisk an egg in a bowl and then add to the melted butter. Stir gently and cook through. Once the egg is done cooking; turn off the heat.
• When the noodles are tender, drain the water and then add them to the skillet with the cooked egg. Then add the prepared brown sugar/sauce. Turn the heat down low to evaporate excess moisture and stir until everything is coated well with the sauce. Sprinkle the sliced green and cilantro leaves on top and serve immediately.
