RICE NOODLE SALAD WITH SALTED PEANUTS AND HERBS



Rice Noodle Salad With Salted Peanuts and Herbs image

This satisfying salad has rice noodles and vegetables in equal measure, making it bright, crisp and light. The peanuts add richness and a salty crunch, along with a dose of protein. And the dressing is a little spicy and a lot tangy, with a pungent kick from fish sauce, garlic and ginger. The recipe makes just enough dressing to lightly coat the vegetables and noodles, but if you're a fan of heavily dressed salads, consider doubling it. Any leftover will keep in the fridge for up to a week, and you'll be happy to drizzle it on fish, chicken and all kinds of vegetables.

COLD RICE NOODLES WITH GRILLED CHICKEN AND PEANUT SAUCE



Cold Rice Noodles With Grilled Chicken and Peanut Sauce image

Maybe cold pasta makes you think of some mediocre quasi-Italian grab-and-go deli choice in a plastic clamshell. To me, it conjures up images of delicious Southeast Asian street food and warm ocean breezes. There, cool rice noodles are topped with crisp vegetables, sweet herbs, pungent sauces and usually a little savory element, like sizzled fragrant beef or nuggets of fried spring rolls. A bowl of these saladlike noodles is always appealing, and they're excellent for hot weather wherever you may find yourself, even if you don't happen to be on a tropical holiday. For a dish that's not especially labor intensive, it ranks high on the flavor scale and tastes fresh, clean and bright: the kind of home-cooked fast food we can all appreciate.

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 32

3 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
3 tablespoons brown sugar
6 tablespoons lime juice
1 garlic clove, finely grated
6 to 8 small Thai chiles, thinly sliced, or 1 or 2 serrano chiles
2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
2 tablespoons rice vinegar
6 tablespoons lime juice
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1-inch chunk ginger, peeled and sliced
4 tablespoons natural unsalted peanut butter
2 teaspoons sesame oil
Pinch cayenne
6 boneless skinless chicken thighs, about 1 1/4 pounds
4 large garlic cloves, halved
1 1-inch chunk ginger, peeled and sliced
1 4-inch length lemon grass, tender center only, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons Asian fish sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 teaspoon sesame oil
3 tablespoons brown sugar
1/8 teaspoon cayenne
8 ounces dried rice vermicelli or other rice noodles
2 small cucumbers, cut in 1/4-inch half moons
1 medium carrot, cut in thin julienne
3/4 cup fresh mung bean sprouts or other sprouts
Small handful basil sprigs
Small handful mint sprigs
Small handful cilantro sprigs
4 tablespoons slivered scallions
1/4 cup crushed or chopped roasted peanuts
Lime wedges

Steps:

  • Make the dipping sauce: Combine ingredients in a small serving bowl, making sure to dissolve the sugar. Leave to ripen for 15 minutes. Refrigerate any extra and use within a few days.
  • Make the peanut dressing: In a blender or small food processor, puree all ingredients to a smooth sauce, about the thickness of heavy cream. Pour into a serving bowl.
  • Put the chicken thighs in a low-sided bowl. To make the marinade, puree the garlic, ginger, lemon grass, fish sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, brown sugar and cayenne in a blender or small food processor. Pour the marinade over the chicken and toss to coat. Let marinate at least 15 minutes.
  • Bring a large pot of water to the boil, then turn off the heat. Add the rice vermicelli and soak for 7 to 8 minutes. (Package directions may vary; check for doneness by tasting). Drain when noodles are al dente, and cool under running water. Fluff and leave in strainer to drain well.
  • Grill the chicken over coals on a stove-top grill pan, or under the broiler until nicely browned, about 3 to 4 minutes a side. Let cool slightly, then chop roughly into 3/4-inch pieces.
  • In a small bowl, dress the cucumbers, carrots and mung bean sprouts with 1 tablespoon dipping sauce. Divide the cooked noodles among 4 bowls. Top each bowl equally with the cucumber mixture and chopped chicken. Spoon 2 teaspoons dipping sauce and 2 tablespoons peanut dressing over each portion. Add the basil, mint and cilantro sprigs, torn or roughly chopped (leave whole if leaves are small). Sprinkle with the scallions and crushed peanuts. Serve with lime wedges, and pass small bowls of the two sauces.

SPICED BROWN RICE WITH PEANUTS



Spiced Brown Rice With Peanuts image

This is a recipe from Gourmet Magazine's October 1990 issue. I cook the rice in chicken stock as it imparts a richer flavour to the dish, however you can use water for a vegetarian version.

Categories     Brown Rice

Time 55m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons vegetable oil
2 teaspoons cumin seeds
4 cloves

1/4 teaspoon dried chili pepper flakes
1 small onion, minced
2 garlic cloves, mined
1 cup brown rice
2 1/4 cups chicken stock
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/3 cup roasted peanuts, chopped

Steps:

  • In a large heavy saucepan heat the oil over moderate heat until it is hot. Add the cuminseed, cloves and the bay leaf and cook the spices , stirring, for 5 to 10 seconds or until the cuminseed is a few shades darker and fragrant. Add the chili pepper flakes, the onion and the garlic and cook the mixture, stirring, until the onion is softened. Add the rice and cook it, stirring, for 2 minutes, or until it is coated well with the oil. Add chicken stock ( or 2 1/4 cups water for vegetarian version).
