Stir Fried Coconut Noodles Recipes

Steps:

• Knead the chicken with the fish sauce and a pinch of salt and let rest for 10 minutes.
• Place a medium saucepan over medium-high heat and add the oil and turmeric. Scrape in the onions and sauté for a minute. Add the garlic and cook 1 more minute. Stir in the paprika, then the chicken, cooking until the chicken is blanched on the outside. Fold in the fish cakes and 1/2 cup water and simmer until most of the liquid is absorbed.
• In a large saucepan, bring the broth to a boil. Dissolve the chickpea flour in 1/2 cup water and pour into the broth, stirring until the mixture thickens slightly. Add the chicken to the broth, and stir in the coconut milk. Bring to a boil, then lower the heat. Add the shallot lobes and simmer until just cooked through. Season to taste.
• To serve, place a handful of noodles in each of 4 deep bowls and ladle on a generous amount of chicken and broth. Garnish with sliced (drained) shallot, hard-boiled egg, scallions and fried noodles. Serve, passing lime wedges and roasted chilies.

Steps:

• If using rice noodles, soak them in very hot water to cover until ready to add to stir-fry in Step 4. If using linguine, bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt it, and cook pasta until it is nearly but not quite done. Drain, and rinse in cold water.
• Meanwhile, place 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet or wok; turn heat to high. A minute later, add meat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon; set aside.
• Add another tablespoon of the oil to skillet, followed by bell pepper and eggplant. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until both are browned and tender, about 10 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon; combine with meat.
• Add remaining tablespoon of oil, followed immediately by the garlic and about 30 seconds later, the coconut milk. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring and scraping with a wooden spoon, for about a minute. Add drained noodles along with meat and vegetables, and cook until noodles absorb most of the coconut milk, about 3 minutes.
• Season with nam pla to taste, then add plenty of black pepper. Garnish with cilantro, and serve.

Steps:

• Soak the noodles in very hot water to cover until you're ready to add them to the stir-fry. Meanwhile, put a tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet or wok and turn the heat to high. A minute later, add the meat and cook, stirring occasionally, until it browns and loses its raw look, about 5 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and set aside.
• Add another tablespoon of the oil to the skillet, followed by the pepper and eggplant. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until the pepper and eggplant are browned and tender, about 10 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon and combine with the meat.
• Add the remaining tablespoon oil, followed immediately by the garlic and, about 30 seconds later, the coconut milk. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring and scraping with a wooden spoon, for about a minute. Add the drained noodles along with the meat and vegetables and cook until the noodles absorb most of the coconut milk, about 3 minutes.
• Season with nam pla, soy sauce, or salt to taste, then add plenty of black pepper. Garnish with cilantro and serve.
• Rice Noodles
• Asians use wheat and rice noodles with equal frequency-but not interchangeably. Rice noodles have no equivalent in European cooking. Made from rice powder, and almost always sold dried, they are nearly as convenient as fresh wheat noodles. Regardless of their name (rice stick, rice vermicelli, Oriental-style noodle, and so on), rice noodles are easily recognized by their grayish white, translucent appearance and by the fact that because of their somewhat irregular shapes they are never packed in as orderly a fashion as wheat noodles (they are quite long and are packaged folded up over themselves).
• They're best when soaked for a few minutes in hot water, then boiled just until their raw flavor disappears. Finally, they're never really what you call al dente, but rather quite soft.
• You might see fresh rice noodles from time to time, but for the most part they are sold dried, like most pasta, only in far fewer shapes, ranging from very thin to linguine-like to fettuccine-like; that's about it. The superthin ones (usually called "vermicelli") are best for soups.The two thicker varieties, usually called "rice sticks," are best for stir-fries.

Steps:

• If using rice noodles, place them in a bowl and cover them with very hot water. Soak them until read to add to the stir fry in Step 4. If using linguine, bring a large pot of water to a boil, salt it, and cook paste until it is nearly but not quite done. Drain, and rinse in cold water.
• Meanwhile, place 1 tablespoon of the oil in a large skillet or wok; turn heat to high. A minute later, add meat, and cook, stirring occasionally, until browned, about 5 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon; set aside.
• Add another tablespoon of oil to the skilled, followed by the bell pepper and eggplant. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until both are browned and tender, about 10 minutes. Remove with slotted spoon, and combine with meat.
• Add remaining tablespoon of oil, followed immediately by the garlic and about 30 seconds later, the coconut milk. If desired, add curry paste at ths point. Cook over medium-high heat, stirring and scraping with a wooden spoon, for about 1 minute. Add drained noodles along with meat and vegetables, and cook until noodles absorb most of the coconut milk, about 3 minutes.
• Season with nam pla to taste, then add plenty of black pepper. Garnish with cilantro, and serve.

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add salt. Cook noodles until al dente, about 2 minutes. Drain; rinse with cold water. Set aside.
• Bring coconut milk and chicken stock to a gentle simmer in a medium saucepan over medium-low heat. Meanwhile, process cilantro, basil, garlic, ginger, and 1 chile in a food processor until coarsely chopped, 5 seconds. Add cilantro mixture, fish sauce (if desired), lemongrass, and sugar to broth; simmer 6 minutes. Discard lemongrass.
• Add noodles; cook until just heated through, about 1 minute. Remove from heat. Stir in lime juice. Finely chop remaining chile. Divide noodles among bowls; top with cilantro, basil, and chile.

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a large saucepan, add the garlic, chilli (if using) and ginger, and fry on a low heat for about 5 mins until softened. Add the curry powder and stir, frying for 1 min more until aromatic. Add the soy sauce and sriracha (if using), and stir again. Pour in the coconut milk, breaking up any solids on the top of the can with a spoon. Stir until combined, then leave the sauce on a medium heat with a lid on to simmer for 15 mins.
• Meanwhile, heat oven to 200C/180C fan/gas 6. Put the nuts in a bowl and mix with the soy sauce and maple syrup until fully coated. Scatter the nuts on a sheet of baking parchment on a baking tray, and roast for 10-12 mins, stirring halfway through.
• While the nuts are roasting, heat the sesame oil in a wok or large frying pan. When hot, add the veg and stir-fry for 3-4 mins until slightly softened. Add the noodles and fry for another 2 mins until heated through.
• Take both pans off the heat and pour the coconut sauce into the wok (or add the noodles to the saucepan) and stir until everything is coated in the sauce. Spoon into bowls and scatter over the nuts and coriander.
