Thai Noodle Delight With Sweet Spicy Peanut Sauce Recipes

Steps:

• Whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, brown sugar, sesame oil, Thai chiles, chile-garlic sauce, ginger, fish sauce, and pepper in a bowl until smooth. Set aside.
• Heat 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large wok or non-stick pan over high heat. Add chicken and stir constantly until almost cooked, about 3 minutes. Pour in 1/4 cup sauce mixture to chicken. Cook until chicken is no longer pink in the center and juices run clear, 1 to 2 minutes more. Transfer chicken with its juices to a bowl.
• Reduce heat to medium-high. Heat remaining tablespoon olive oil in the same wok or pan used for chicken. Add carrots; cook and stir until just softened but still crunchy, about 3 minutes. Stir in bell pepper; cook until softened, about 1 minute. Add reserved chicken with its juices, remaining sauce, green onions, bean sprouts, and cilantro. Cook and stir until just heated, about 1 minute. Keep warm.
• Meanwhile place noodles in a large bowl and cover with hot water. Set aside until noodles are softened, about 5 minutes. Drain.

Steps:

• Disolve 1/8 cup salt and 1/4 cup sugar in 1 quart of water in a glass or plastic container. Cut your meat into bite-sized pieces, place in the brine, cover and refrigerate for 2 hours. (Pork should be trimmed of silverskin and de-boned. We like using boneless country-style ribs.) (Chicken should be boneless-skinless breast or thigh meat.).
• Drain meat and allow to dry on paper towels.
• In a large pan, bring plenty of salted water to boiling. Add noodles and cook according to directions.
• In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, coconut milk, lime juice, soy sauce, brown sugar, sambal oolek, and sweet chile sauce until smooth. Warm in heavy bottomed pan on stove, but do not cook! Heat to no more than steaming or the sauce might break. (In my personal experience, this sauce doesn't hold well for much more than 20 minutes. It's best to finish and serve immediately.).
• In a wok or large, heavy skillet, heat 1 Tbls oil on medium-high (or if you're confident with stir-fry, high) heat until the oil just starts to smoke. Immediately add your meat, stirring constantly, until the meat is almost done. Add the garlic and continue cooking about a minute. Remove the meat from the pan and allow to drain.
• Add the other 1 Tbls oil to the wok and add the veggies in the following order: red onion, carrot (optional), celery, broccoli, snow peas, red bell pepper (optional), scallion (also optional). If you like, you can add other favorite Asian-style vegetables such as water chestnuts or bamboo shoots, but I would avoid mushrooms. Stir very frequently, waiting 30 seconds (for the more tender veggies) to 2 minutes (for the firmer bits) between additions. Just before the veggies are ready to be served, add the meat and stir for just long enough to reheat thoroughly.
• Serve by putting the meat & veggie mix over the noodles and top with a healthy spooning of peanut sauce. Serve hot.

Steps:

• Cook rice noodles according to package directions.
• Slice chicken breasts into strips. Marinate in soy sauce for about 1/2 hour.
• In a large saucepan or wok, heat sesame oil over medium heat. Cook chicken until no longer pink. Add garlic, ginger, and onions; cook until onions are tender. Add mushrooms and cucumbers; cook until mushrooms are tender. Add peppers, carrot, peanut sauce, oyster sauce, and hot chili pepper sauce. Heat through.
• Toss cooked rice noodles with saute. Garnish with sesame seeds.

Steps:

• Heat vegetable oil in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir garlic and ginger in hot oil until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add hot water, peanut butter, and lemon juice to the saucepan; stir until smooth. Stir chili sauce, hoisin sauce, and soy sauce into the peanut butter mixture.
• Reduce heat to low and cook sauce at a simmer until thickened, about 5 minutes. Add red pepper flakes; stir.

Steps:

• In a blender puree the vinegar, soy, water, ginger, garlic, and sugar.
