RAMEN WITH CHARRED SCALLIONS, GREEN BEANS AND CHILE OIL

Ramen With Charred Scallions, Green Beans and Chile Oil image

Scallions can be so much more than a garnish. Raw scallions bring an assertive pungency, but when cooked, they take on a sweet tenderness that is very pleasing to the palate. In this vegan recipe, treat scallions as you would a bunch of greens. Take cues from the Chinese cooking technique used for stir-fries, and add the scallions to very hot oil to let them "bao" (to crack, explode or burst), drawing out their natural aroma. Those packets of ramen noodles stashed in your pantry are perfect for this quick yet intensely satisfying weeknight noodle dish. The chile oil makes just enough for this dish, so if you want extra for future meals, make double.

Ingredients

2 tablespoons red-pepper flakes (see Tip)
1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
1/2 cup neutral oil, such as grapeseed, vegetable or canola
1 (1-inch) piece ginger, peeled and finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, finely chopped
2 teaspoons toasted white sesame seeds
1 teaspoon sesame oil
Kosher salt
4 (3-ounce) packages ramen noodles, seasoning packs discarded
2 bunches scallions (10 to 12 scallions), white and green parts separated and cut into 2-inch pieces
2 to 3 tablespoons neutral oil, such as grapeseed, vegetable or canola
10 ounces green beans, trimmed and halved diagonally
1 (2-inch) piece ginger, peeled and julienned
White pepper
1 tablespoon toasted white sesame seeds

Steps:

Prepare the chile oil: Add the red-pepper flakes and salt to a heatproof bowl. Place the oil, ginger and garlic in a small saucepan, and heat over medium until it bubbles, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and very carefully pour the hot oil over the red-pepper flakes. Add the sesame seeds and sesame oil, and stir well. Set aside while you make the rest of the dish. (Chile oil can be stored in an airtight jar at room temperature for up to a month and indefinitely in the refrigerator.)
Prepare the noodles: Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the ramen and cook according to package instructions, about 3 minutes, until the noodles are just tender. Drain, rinse with cold water and drain well again.
Slice the white parts of your scallions lengthwise, in half or quarters, depending on thickness, to make cooking faster.
Heat a wok or large (12-inch), deep skillet on high. When smoking hot, add 1 tablespoon of oil, toss in the green beans and season with salt. Cook, tossing the beans, for 2 to 3 minutes, until charred. Remove the beans from the wok, and set aside.
Heat the same wok or skillet over high, and when smoking, add 1 to 2 tablespoons of oil, along with the scallions (white and green parts) and the ginger. Allow the scallions and ginger to sizzle for 20 to 30 seconds, to release their aromas, then stir-fry for 2 to 3 minutes, until the scallions have a nice scorch.
Add the green beans and noodles back to the pan, along with 2 or 3 tablespoons of the chile oil (reserve some for serving), and season with salt and pepper. Toss well to combine, just until the noodles are heated through. To serve, divide the noodles into bowls, top with toasted sesame seeds and more chile oil.

TOFU AND GREEN BEANS WITH CHILE CRISP

Tofu and Green Beans With Chile Crisp image

I love to cook with chile crisp, a fiery hot-pepper condiment born in the Sichuan Province of China that generally relies on fried shallots and garlic for texture, and on any number of umami-rich special ingredients for distinction and oomph. It's magical: a boon to noodle soups and kitchen-sink stir-fries, to eggs and cucumbers, to plain steamed fish. Here, I use it as the base of a marinade and topping for baked tofu and green beans, with black vinegar, a little sesame oil, a wisp of honey, minced garlic and ginger, along with scallions and cilantro. But you could use the mixture on a mitten and have a very nice meal.

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

Ingredients

3 tablespoons chile-crisp condiment, plus more for serving
3 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons Chinese black vinegar
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon honey
2 garlic cloves, peeled and minced
2 tablespoons chopped scallions
2 tablespoons chopped cilantro
1 (14-ounce) package extra-firm tofu, drained and sliced crosswise into 8 (1/2-inch-thick) slabs
3/4 pound green beans
1 tablespoon neutral oil, like canola or grapeseed
White rice, for serving
1 tablespoon minced fresh ginger

Steps:

Heat oven to 450 degrees. In a baking dish or casserole, whisk together the chile crisp, soy sauce, vinegar, sesame oil, honey, garlic, ginger, scallions and cilantro.
Add the tofu slices to the dish, and coat them with the sauce, then allow to marinate for as long as it takes to heat the oven and trim the green beans.
Add the green beans to a large sheet pan, then drizzle the neutral oil on top and toss to coat. Slide the green beans to the sides of the pan, and arrange the slices of tofu in an even layer in the center of the pan. Pour remaining marinade over the tofu, and place in oven.
Roast until the green beans start to blister, 20 to 25 minutes. Serve immediately with rice and extra chile crisp on the side.

Tips:

Choose the right green beans: Look for fresh, firm green beans that are about 5-6 inches long. Avoid beans that are wilted or have brown spots.
Trim the beans: Remove the ends of the beans and any strings that may be attached. You can use a knife or a kitchen shears to do this.
Blanch the beans: Blanching the beans helps to preserve their color and crispness. To blanch the beans, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the beans and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until they are bright green and tender. Drain the beans and immediately place them in a bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process.
Make the spicy chile sauce: While the beans are blanching, make the spicy chile sauce. In a small bowl, combine all of the ingredients for the sauce and whisk until smooth. Set aside.
Blister the beans: Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and the beans and cook, stirring occasionally, until the beans are blistered and slightly charred, about 5 minutes. Add the spicy chile sauce and cook for an additional minute, or until the beans are evenly coated with the sauce.
Serve immediately: Blistered green beans are best served immediately. You can garnish them with chopped cilantro or green onions.

Conclusion:

Blistered green beans with spicy chile sauce is a quick, easy, and delicious side dish that is perfect for any occasion. The beans are crispy and tender, and the spicy chile sauce adds a nice kick of flavor. This dish is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
