Spicy Asian Noodle Bowls Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs. Drain and toss with 2 teaspoons vegetable oil.
• Heat 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the pork and 2 teaspoons ginger; cook, breaking up the meat with a wooden spoon, until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Add the chicken broth, pickles and 2 tablespoons each pickle brine and soy sauce and cook, scraping up any browned bits, until the liquid evaporates, about 4 minutes.
• Meanwhile, puree 3 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds in a blender until finely ground, about 15 seconds. Add the remaining 3 tablespoons vegetable oil and puree until smooth. Add 1/4 cup water, the chili-garlic sauce, brown sugar and the remaining 1/4 cup soy sauce, 2 tablespoons pickle brine and 1 teaspoon ginger; puree until combined.
• Top each serving of noodles with the sesame dressing, pork, cucumbers and tomatoes. Sprinkle with the remaining 1 tablespoon sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Preheat broiler. Place bison skirt steak on the unheated rack of a broiler pan. Brush both sides of bison skirt steak with the 2 tablespoons soy sauce. Broil 4 to 5 inches from the heat for 5 to 6 minutes or until an instant-read thermometer registers 145 degrees F, turning once. Cover with foil and let stand for 10 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring broth and water to boiling over medium-high heat in a large saucepan. Add vermicelli noodles and cook, uncovered, for 3 minutes or until noodles are tender. Use kitchen scissors to snip the noodle strands into smaller pieces. Stir in peanut sauce, broccoli, and carrots. Remove from heat. Cover and let stand for 10 minutes.
• Thinly slice bison skirt steak against the grain into bite-size pieces. Divide noodle mixture among 4 bowls. Top with bison skirt steak pieces. Sprinkle with peanuts and green onions or cilantro. If desired, serve with Asian chili sauce and additional soy sauce.
