Chinese Dragon Noodles 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:

• In a bowl combine the oil, chili sauce, soy sauce, pickled ginger juice, lemon juice, rice vinegar, sugar and salt. Whisk to blend and set the bowl aside.
• In a colander fluff the noodles to separate and untangle the strands. Bring a large saucepan of water to a rolling boil. Add the noodles and swish them gently with chopsticks. Let them cook for 2 minutes or until the noodles are tender but still have some bite. Drain them, plunge them briefly into ice water, then drain again. Shake the colander to remove excess moisture and transfer the noodles to a bowl.
• Whisk the dressing again to combine it. Toss the noodles with just enough of the dressing to moisten them well, using your fingers to coat and separate the strands. Let the noodles sit for 10 minutes.
• Taste the noodles. If they seem dry, add a bit more dressing and toss again. Add the lemon rind, black sesame seeds and scallion rings and toss well.
• Taste the noodles again. They should be bright and sparkly. Cover them tightly and refrigerate up to one day.
• To serve: Bring the noodles to room temperature. Mound the noodles in a bowl or twirl them in individual bowls. Garnish each dish with grated red radish, scallion and black sesame seeds.
• Serves 2 or 3 as a main course; 4 to 6 as part of a multi-course meal.
