Best 5 Asian Fries Pan Fried Noodles Recipes

ASIAN FRIES - PAN FRIED NOODLES

Steps:

• To start you will need a good quality wok or non stick pan, and only use a wooden spatula, so you don't scratch it and break the seal. It is helpful to use a wooden spatula that is square and has a point so you can gently separate the noodles while stirring.
• Let the udon noodles thaw a bit. If you can't wait to thaw, put them in the microwave for one minute each side.
• Put the butter, garlic and grape seed oil into the wok and slowly heat the wok no higher than medium heat. **Do not let your garlic burn** The reason to use grape seed oil is because its very neutral and has a high smoke point so it doesn't burn easily.
• When the noodles are thawed gently pull them apart with your fingers.
• When the garlic starts to sizzle and just before it starts to turn golden brown add the udon noodles into the wok.
• After the noodles have been moved around and thoroughly coated in butter, garlic and grape seed oil, turn the heat up to almost high. (only for a few minutes).
• If you don't like garlic, just leave it out.
• *stay with it constantly and gently stir the noodles or they will burn*.
• Gently stir and flip the noodles, after each flip, spread them out gently again.
• The noodles should begin to turn golden brown (not burnt but crispy looking) and when they begin to look this way ad in a few twists of the pink sea salt and 2 Tbsp's of soy sauce.
• Keep stirring it gently.
• Turn the heat back down to just below medium and cook for 1 more minute just until the salt and soy sauce have evenly spread, then turn off burner.
• During this process if you feel the heat get too hot or are afraid its burning, lift the pan off the heat.
• If you want it spicy, add it in now and be subtle.

FRIED RAMEN NOODLE (ASIAN-STYLE)

Steps:

• 1. Fill a medium-sized (large enough to fit the ramen block with 1-2 inches of space around it) non-stick frying pan with water, half-way. Heat the pan with the water to a boil.
• 2. Place ramen block and sprinkle the soup base (if you like it) too. Let the ramen soften, flip it if it's still solid so that it is evenly moistened. Use a fork to loosen it up. Let the ramen soften some more, and if the water evaporates, great!
• 3. If there is still water in the pan after 3 minutes of cooking, drain the water. Slide the noodles off the pan and into a clean plate.
• 4. Drizzle some oil in the pan and let it heat up at Maximum heat. Once the pan is hot, slide back the noodles into the pan. Evenly distribute the noodles over the pan.
• 5. Drizzle 2-3 tablespoons of sauce. Let it fry. Occasionally lift the ramen to check the underside. If it's brown, use a spatula to flip it and let the other side cook. Let the other side fry. Again, lift and check. If it's brown, slide it off the pan and into your plate.

ASIAN STREET FRIES

Steps:

• Cut the potatoes in 3/8-inch slices. Then stack cut pieces of potatoes and cut them into 3/8-inch square pieces. Submerge the potatoes in a large bowl of water and let sit for 30 minutes. This will help leach the excess starch from the potatoes and keep them from oxidizing.
• While potatoes are soaking, prepare the sauce: Combine all ingredients in a nonreactive pan and heat over medium-high. Adjust heat to a simmer and reduce by half.
• Heat a heavy stock pot with the oil to 325 degrees F over medium heat. (Use a candy thermometer to check the temperature.) Remove potatoes from the water and pat dry. Carefully add 2 handfuls of potatoes to the hot oil. There should be at least 1-inch of oil above the potatoes. Cook for 5 to 7 minutes or until potatoes are light brown. Remove potatoes, with a slotted spoon, shake off excess oil and place on a rack to cool. Repeat until all of the potatoes are par-cooked.
• After all the potatoes have been par-cooked, heat oil up to 350 degrees F over medium heat. Add 2 handfuls of par-cooked potatoes, and cook for 2 minutes or until golden brown. Remove from oil, with a slotted spoon, shake off excess oil. Transfer potatoes to a serving bowl and season lightly with salt and pepper. Repeat this method until all potatoes are fried.
• To serve: Drizzle sauce over hot fries and garnish with toasted sesame seeds.

• In a large pot of boiling water, cook noodles until they are halfway done according to package instructions. (They should still be quite firm.) Drain well and toss with 1/2 tablespoon of the peanut oil to keep them from sticking, and spread them out on a plate or baking sheet.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the remaining 2 tablespoons of peanut oil. Add the garlic and cook until crisp and golden around the edges, 1 to 2 minutes.

Add eggs, spinach or edamame if using, sriracha, and remaining scallion mixture and continue to stir-fry until the eggs are cooked, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat and stir in lime juice.
