Stir Fried Pork And Sugar Snaps With Soba Noodles Recipes

Steps:

• Fill a large pot with water, and bring to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water. When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the greens. Cook the greens 1 to 2 minutes, until just tender, and transfer with a slotted spoon or deep-fry skimmer to the ice water. Drain and squeeze out the water (you don't have to squeeze them completely dry). Chop coarsely.
• Cook the noodles. Bring the water in the pot back to a boil, add the noodles, and stir to separate the strands. Add a couple of tablespoons cold water, just so the water doesn't boil over. Boil somen noodles for two minutes, rice vermicelli for five to seven minutes, until tender. Drain and rinse with cold water. Place in a bowl of cold water, then drain and toss with the sesame oil. Set aside.
• Heat a large, heavy skillet or wok over high heat until hot enough to evaporate a drop of water on contact. Add 1 tablespoon of the oil, swirl to coat the pan, and reduce the heat to medium-high. Add the pork, and stir-fry for two to three minutes, until the meat is cooked through and there are no longer any traces of pink.
• Add the remaining oil, ginger and garlic, and stir-fry until fragrant and beginning to color, about 20 to 30 seconds. Stir in the greens, noodles, soy sauce and stock or water. Stir together until heated through, and serve.

Steps:

• 1. In a bowl, combine 1.5 tablespoons of the soy sauce and the cornstarch and stir to dissolve the cornstarch. Mix 1.5 teaspoons of the sesame oil. Add the pork and a generous amount of pepper and stir to coat. Let marinate for 15-30 minutes.
• 2. Meanwhile, in a small bowl combine the remaining 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, remaining 1 tablespoons of sesame oil, the vinegar, and sugar and stir to dissolve the sugar. Set aside.
• Bring a large pot 3/4 full of water to a boil. Add the sugar snap peas and cook until just tender crips, about 4 minutes. Using a slotted spoon, transfer peas to a bowl. Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook until just tender, stirring occasionally, about 4 minutes. Drain the noodles, and then return to the pot. Add 1/2 of the sauce to the noodles and stir to coat. Mix in the sugar snaps and all but 2 tablespoons of green onions. Cover to keep warm.
• In a large nonstick frying pan over medium-high heat, warm the peanut oil. Add the ginger and pepper flakes and stir until fragrant, about 5 seconds. Add the pork and separate the pieces. Stir constantly just until the pork is cooked through, 2-3 minutes. Add the remaining sauce and stir until the sauce thickens, about 30 seconds. Immediately add the pork and sauce to the noodles, and then toss to coat. Divide the noodles between 2 warm plates. Sprinkle with the remaining green onions and serve right away.

Steps:

• Cook noodles in large pot of boiling salted water until almost tender but still firm to bite. Drain well, then return to pot.
• Meanwhile, sprinkle pork with salt, pepper, and five-spice powder. Heat 1 tablespoon oil in medium skillet over high heat. Add pork and stir-fry until cooked through, about 2 minutes. Add remaining 2 tablespoons oil, soy sauce, and vinegar; stir 30 seconds.
• Add pork, green onions, and radishes to noodles and toss to combine. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
