Black Thai Noodle Bowl Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk the soy sauce, peanut butter, rice vinegar, honey, lime juice, garlic and ginger together in a small bowl until well combined. Set aside.
• Bring 3 to 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot.
• At the same time, heat the sesame oil in a large wok or nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add the red cabbage, carrot and zucchini. Cook, stirring often, 3 to 4 minutes. At the same time, add the rice noodles to the pot of boiling water and cook for 3 to 4 minutes.
• Using tongs, gently transfer the cooked rice noodles directly to the skillet. Add the sauce and toss until everything is well combined and evenly coated.
• Serve immediately topped with chopped green onion and peanuts.

Steps:

• Make the dressing: Whisk the vinegar, 1/4 cup water, the lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, ginger, scallions and chile pepper in a medium bowl; set aside.
• Make the noodle salad: Cook the noodles as the label directs; drain and set aside. Whisk 2 tablespoons vegetable oil, the fish sauce, sugar and lemongrass in a large bowl; add the broccoli and toss to coat.
• Heat the remaining 2 teaspoons vegetable oil in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Working in batches if needed, add the broccoli in a single layer and cook until charred on one side, about 4 minutes. Flip and continue cooking until crisp-tender, about 2 more minutes.
• Assemble the bowls: Divide the noodles among 4 shallow bowls; top with the broccoli, cucumber, celery, lettuce and mint. Drizzle with the dressing and top with fried onions, peanuts and the reserved scallion greens.

Steps:

• Heat the peanut oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the fresh ginger and all but 1/4 cup of the red onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, about 5 minutes. Add the ground chicken, turmeric, chili-garlic sauce and 1 teaspoon salt; cook, breaking up the meat, until cooked through, about 5 minutes. Add 1 cup water, the chicken broth and mustard greens (the pot will be very full, but the greens will wilt quickly). Bring to a boil, then reduce to a simmer and cook until the broth has reduced slightly and the greens are tender, about 5 minutes. Season with salt.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil; remove from the heat and add the vermicelli noodles, stirring to separate them. Let the noodles soak until tender, 2 to 4 minutes. Drain, run under cold water and shake dry. Use kitchen shears to cut the noodles into smaller pieces.
• Divide the pickled ginger, noodles and chicken-broth mixture among bowls. Top with peanuts, cilantro and the reserved red onion; season with salt.
