P F Changs China Bistro Szechwan Chicken Chow Fun Recipes

Steps:

• Separate the chow fun noodles and cover with plastic wrap until ready for service. Heat wok and add 2 teaspoons vegetable oil.
• Stir fry garlic and chill paste for 5 to 7 seconds. Add ground chicken sear with garlic and chill paste.
• Add black fungus mushrooms and sauce stir-fry briefly. Separate the noodles and drop into the wok while you are mixing a handful at a time. Continue cooking until the noodles have absorbed all the flavors and are hot. Finish with sesame oil.
• Serve into bowls or plates. Garnish with Szechwan preserved vegetables and minced scallions.

Steps:

• Drain the tofu, cube and fry in 1 tbsp canola oil until brown. Set aside. (See this thread: http://www.recipezaar.com/bb/viewtopic.zsp?t=170177) I recommend freezing the tofu first to firm up the texture.
• Separately blanch or steam the broccoli, carrots and sugar snap peas until tender-crisp in plain boiling water.
• Heat a wok or wide skillet over high heat until hot. Add 1 tbsp canola oil, swirl to glaze the pan, then add the onions and bell pepper. Stir-fry until tender-crisp, 3-4 minutes. Add the mushrooms and stir until hot, a few minutes more. Add the blanched vegetables and and tofu. Toss to mix.
• Combine the coconut-curry sauce ingredients. Taste and adjust the sugar to your liking.
• Add the sauce to the pan with the veggies. Bring to a simmer, tossing to combine.
• Dissolve the cornstarch in 1 1/2 tbsp of water and add to pan. Stir until the sauce turns glossy, about 10 seconds (a bit longer if you're doubling the sauce).
• Add the peanuts.
• Serve with rice, noodles, or a warm loaf of bread.
• Use a milder or hotter curry powder to vary the spice.
• For a really saucy dish to serve over rice or noodles, double the sauce ingredients and the cornstarch mixture.
