Ginger Lime Dipping Sauce And Warm Beef On Cool Noodles Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Stir the lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar and ginger in a small bowl until the sugar is dissolved. Toss the chicken with 2 tablespoons of the sauce and the grated garlic; season with salt and pepper. Let marinate 10 minutes.
• Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the chicken dry. Add to the skillet and cook until browned, 3 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and bake until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. (Reserve the skillet.) Let the chicken rest 5 minutes, then slice.
• Meanwhile, add the noodles to the boiling water and cook as the label directs. Drain in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold water. Shake off any excess water.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in the reserved skillet over medium-high heat. Add the snow peas, chopped garlic and a big pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the snow peas are bright green, 1 minute. Add the noodles and stir until hot, 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; stir in half the cilantro.
• Divide the noodles and chicken among plates. Drizzle with the remaining sauce and top with the remaining cilantro.

Steps:

• For the Dipping Sauce: Place the garlic, chilies, chili paste, and ginger in a mortar and pound into a paste. Transfer to a mixing bowl and add the remaining ingredients and mix until well blended. Transfer to a glass jar and cover with a tight lid. If refrigerated the sauce will keep up to 3 weeks.
• Combine all salad ingredients and toss gently. Place about a cup of the salad mixture in individual pasta bowls. Top each with about two cups of the noodles. Set the prepared noodle bowls aside.
• Combine the beef, lemon grass, fish sauce, soy sauce, and sugar in a mixing bowl and set aside.
• Heat the oil in a large nonstick fry pan over high heat. Add the garlic ad onion and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Remove beef from marinade and stir-fry until just done, 3 to 4 minutes. Remove from heat.
• Divide the beef topping among the prepared bowls and garnish each with peanuts and cilantro. Invite each guest to drizzle on 3 to 4 tablespoons of the dipping sauce. Have them toss the noodles several times with chopsticks to blend the ingredients.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil, and salt it. Cook noodles until tender but not mushy. Drain, and quickly rinse under cold running water until cold. Drain well.
• Combine dashi or stock, soy sauce and mirin. Taste, and add a little more soy if the flavor is not strong enough. Serve noodles with garnishes, with sauce on side for dipping (or spooning over).

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the ginger, lime juice, and sugar and stir to dissolve the sugar. Taste and adjust the flavors with more lime juice or sugar as needed. The ginger and lime should both be prominent, but not to the point that they make you wince and pucker. Add the fish sauce, starting out with 2 tablespoons and adding more as your palate dictates. Set aside for 30 minutes to let the ginger bloom before serving.
• Put the sauce on the table so that diners can serve themselves, or divide among individual dipping sauce bowls. It may be prepared 2 to 3 hours in advance and left at room temperature until serving.

Steps:

• Combine soy sauce, garlic, ginger, sesame oil, chili oil, lime juice, vinegar and onion powder in a blender. Process until evenly combined. Chill before serving.

Steps:

• Cook soba noodles according to package instructions. Rinse under cold water, drain well and set aside. Meanwhile, in a medium bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, lime juice, ginger, sesame oil and brown sugar; set aside.
• Season the steak well with salt and pepper. Heat a large cast-iron pan over medium-high until very hot, 2 to 3 minutes. Add the canola oil and when it shimmers, add the steak and cook, undisturbed, until it begins to get crisp and golden on the outside, 3 to 4 minutes. (If you are using skirt steak, you may need to cut it into 2 or 3 pieces to fit in the pan, then cook for 2 to 3 minutes.) Flip and finish cooking, about 3 minutes more for medium-rare. Set aside and allow the steak to rest while you prepare the rest of the salad.
• Turn heat to medium and add the bok choy. Season with salt and pepper and cook, stirring frequently, until it begins to brown and char in spots, 2 to 3 minutes, adding another teaspoon or so of oil if needed to help if the pan is too dry. Remove from the heat.
• In a large bowl, toss the soba noodles, carrots, radishes (if using) and half the scallions. Drizzle with the ginger-lime dressing to taste and divide among plates or in serving bowls. Thinly slice the steaks against the grain and top each portion with some of the steak and the bok choy. Scatter the remaining scallions and the mint over top and season with flaky salt, if desired. Serve with any leftover dressing in a small bowl to be passed at the table.

Steps:

• 1. Combine all of the ingredients in a bowl. Cover and refrigerate for 30 minutes or longer to allow the flavors to meld.
• 2. Use immediately, or store in the refrigerator in a tightly sealed glass container for up to 5 days.
