Soy Chicken And Green Tea Noodle Salad Recipes

Steps:

• Make the dashi:
• Bring anchovies, konbu, garlic, and 1 1/2 cups water to a boil in a medium pot over medium-high, stirring occasionally. Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook 7 minutes. Pour mixture through a fine-mesh sieve set over a large bowl; discard solids.
• Make the dipping sauce:
• Whisk gochujang, cucumber, radish, lime juice, ginger, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, and 1 cup dashi in a medium bowl until well combined. Chill until cold.
• To serve:
• Cook soba noodles in a large pot of boiling salted water, stirring occasionally, until noodles are cooked through but still chewy, 4-6 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water immediately to stop the cooking process.
• Divide noodles among 2 plates or bowls. Garnish with cucumber matchsticks and Thai basil leaves. Serve with dipping sauce on the side.
• Do Ahead
• Dashi can be made up to 3 days in advance and refrigerated.

Steps:

• Cook noodles according to package instructions, until just tender; they should retain a bit of bite. Drain, rinse well with cold water and drain again.
• Discard seeds from cucumber, and slice quarters crosswise as thin as possible. Place in a large bowl. Add chilies, and set aside.
• In a small saucepan, combine sugar, rice wine vinegar and 2 tablespoons water. Place over low heat until sugar dissolves, and add to cucumber mixture. Add peanuts and cilantro, and mix well. Add noodles, and toss to mix.
• Sprinkle the noodle mixture with sesame oil and soy sauce, and toss gently until all the ingredients have been evenly distributed. Refrigerate salad until it is chilled, about 20 minutes.

Steps:

• Place noodles in a large heat-proof bowl. Bring 5 cups of water to a boil and pour water over the noodles. Make sure noodles are fully submerged. Let stand, stirring occasionally, until noodles become tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain well and place noodles back in the bowl.
• While noodles are standing, stir together rice vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce (if using), sesame oil, honey or sugar, hot sauce, garlic and ginger in a small bowl. After noodles have been drained, add this dressing to noodles and toss to coat.
• Add chicken, carrots, red pepper, cucumber, bean sprouts and green onions to noodles, tossing to combine.
• Divide noodles among serving plates and garnish with cilantro or basil and sesame seeds. Serve with lime wedges on the side.
