Teriyaki Soba Noodles Recipes

Steps:

• Place a pot of water on the stove for the soba and bring to a boil.
• For the sauce: Place the stock, tamari, mirin, sherry, sugar, Worcestershire, ginger and garlic in small pot. Bring to a rolling boil and reduce by half, 15 to 20 minutes over medium heat. Reduce the heat to a low boil or rolling simmer.
• For the chicken: Add the oil to a skillet and heat over high heat. Sprinkle the chicken with lightly with salt and more aggressively with pepper. Cook 8 to 9 minutes, turning occasionally, then remove from the heat. Raise the heat again to high. Add the peppers and stir for a few minutes, but keep them tender-crisp. Add the scallions and garlic and toss 1 minute, then remove from the heat.
• Cook the soba according to package instructions, a couple of minutes, to al dente. Drain.
• Place a quarter of the soba noodles in shallow bowls or on plates. Top with a few peppers and scallions. Slice 1 chicken breast per portion and fan on top of the soba. Pour the sauce evenly over the dishes and serve.

Steps:

• Heat 2 quarts water to boiling for the noodles.
• To make the teriyaki sauce, heat the rice wine vinegar, brown sugar, soy sauce, ginger, and scallions to a boil over medium heat. Let cook for 7 minutes, then whisk in cornstarch slurry and cook for another 3 minutes or so, to allow to thicken. Remove from heat and cool to room temperature.
• Boil the noodles until tender, drain well, toss with about 1/4 cup of the oil to keep noodles from sticking and set aside.
• Heat the oil to deep-fry the noodles in a deep fryer to 375 degrees F, or as directed for similar foods.
• For the vegetables, heat 2 tablespoons of the grapeseed oil in a wok over medium high heat, reserving the rest of the oil. Saute celery and carrots until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes and add mushrooms and cook until they are soft and begin to give up their juices. Remove the vegetables to a utility plate, and add the other 2 tablespoons oil to the wok over medium heat. Add the cabbage to the wok and cook until tender, about 10 to 15 minutes.
• While the cabbage is cooking, deep-fry the noodles and drain on paper toweling.
• Return the celery/carrot/mushroom mixture to the cabbage, add the water chestnuts, and stir to combine. Add the teriyaki sauce and cook for 5 minutes to heat through and integrate flavors. Season with salt and freshly ground black pepper, to taste, and serve with fried noodles, topped with bean sprouts.

Steps:

• To Make the Marinade: combine all ingredients in a small saucepan, bring to a boil, and then lower heat and simmer for 5 minutes. Strain to remove solids and refrigerate until ready to use (you will be using 2 tablespoon of the marinade in the dressing).
• To Make the Dressing: Whisk together the dressing ingredients with two tablesploons of the marinade and set aside.
• At least two hours before serving: place the fish in a baking dish and pour on 1/3 cup marinade.
• To Finish the Dish: Preheat broiler on high.
• Start boiling water for the soba.
• Line four plates with spinach.
• When the broiler is ready, put in the fish (using an oven-proof pan). Turn after 4 minutes, adding more marinade. Cook for another 4 minutes or until the fish flakes easily and turns opaque.
• When the water boils, add the soba and carrots. Be sure to only cook for the time noted in the package direction - do not overcook.
• When ready, drain the soba and carrots and rinse with cold water, drain again and set aside in a mixing bowl. Toss with the dressing.
• To serve, mound the soba and carrots on the spinach and place the fish in the center.

Steps:

• Place tofu between several layers of paper towels. Place a heavy plate on top of tofu, and let stand 20 minutes. Cut tofu crosswise into 4 pieces.
• Combine mirin and next 8 ingredients (mirin through garlic) in a bowl, stirring with a whisk.
• Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Add tofu pieces; pour mirin mixture over tofu.
• Bring to a boil; cook 4 minutes. Turn tofu pieces over; cook 3 minutes. Remove from heat, and keep warm.
• Bring broth to a boil in a Dutch oven. Add bok choy; cover and cook 2 minutes or until crisp-tender. Drain.
• Place 1 cup soba noodles on each of 4 plates; top each serving with 1 tofu piece. Spoon about 1 tablespoon sauce over each tofu piece; sprinkle each serving with 1 tablespoon green onions and 1/2 teaspoon toasted sesame seeds. Arrange 2 bok choy halves on each plate.
