Teriyaki Glazed Cod With Ginger Scallion Ramen Noodles Recipe 45

Steps:

• Make the dressing and Ramen: In a lidded jar with a tight-fitting lid, combine the rice wine vinegar, soy sauce, lemon juice, ginger, and sugar. Shake until the sugar is dissolved. Add the vegetable and sesame oils and shake until emulsified. In the meantime, cook the Ramen in boiling water according to package directions. Discard or save the seasoning packets for another use. Drain the noodles, wash with cold running water, then drain again. Transfer to a medium mixing bowl. Re-shake the dressing if it has separated. Pour half the dressing over the noodles and toss to coat. Add the scallions and red bell pepper and toss, adding more dressing as needed. (If you have leftovers, the dressing is great on sliced cucumbers.) Garnish with sesame seeds. Cover and refrigerate until serving time. Note: The salad can also be served at room temperature. Make the Glaze for the Cod: Combine the soy sauce, mirin, brown sugar, and sake in a small saucepan over medium-high heat and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer the sauce until it is thick enough to coat the back of a spoon, about 15 minutes. Set aside. Start your grill and heat to 350 degrees. Pellet grills use indirect heating. If you are using a charcoal or propane be sure to set it up for indirect method. Line a rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray the foil with nonstick cooking spray. (Or oil it with vegetable oil.) Arrange the fish on the foiled baking sheet and brush the fillets with the teriyaki glaze using a basting brush. Put the baking sheet on the grill grate. Cook the fish for 10 minutes, then brush again with the glaze. When the fish is opaque and cooked through-about 5 minutes more- glaze again, then remove from the grill. Transfer the cod fillets to plates and serve with the Ginger-Scallion Ramen.

Steps:

• Whisk soy sauce, chicken broth, rice vinegar, cornstarch, ginger, honey, and garlic together in a small bowl; set aside.
• Bring a pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook ramen noodles in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 3 minutes. Drain, reserving 1 cup of cooking water.
• Heat sesame oil in a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add scallions and carrots to the hot skillet and quickly stir-fry until soft, about 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium-low, pour in sauce, and cook until sauce starts to thicken, about 2 minutes. Stir in drained ramen noodles, separating and tossing them with tongs until coated. Add reserved cooking water a little at a time until you reach your desired consistency.

Steps:

• Combine scallions, ginger, sesame oil, soy sauce, and rice wine vinegar in a bowl. Stir until combined and refrigerate for 10 minutes.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and boil for 3 minutes. Turn heat off and let sit for 1 minute.
• Drain noodles and transfer to a large bowl. Add reserved sauce mixture and toss to coat.

Steps:

• Toss ginger, garlic, and two-thirds of the scallions in a large bowl to combine. Heat grapeseed oil in a small saucepan over high until hot and shimmering but not smoking, about 2 minutes. Immediately pour hot oil over aromatics. The scallions will sizzle, turn bright green, and wilt almost immediately. Let sit 5 minutes.
• Mix soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, pepper, sugar, and remaining scallions into oil mixture; season with salt. Let sit 15 minutes for flavors to meld. Taste sauce and season with more salt if needed.
• Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions; drain.
• Toss noodles in a large bowl with as much or little sauce as you'd like. Divide among bowls and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve with chili oil alongside.
