Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1 pound small skinless, boneless chicken thighs
6 cups low-sodium chicken broth
6 slices fresh ginger, lightly smashed, plus 1 tablespoon finely grated
2 scallions, whites cut into 2-inch pieces and greens thinly sliced
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
1 cup sugar snap peas
3 carrots
1 9.5-ounce package soba noodles
4 ounces sliced shiitake mushrooms
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
2 tablespoons fresh lemon juice
Shichimi togarashi (Japanese seasoning) or Asian chili sauce, for topping

Steps:

  • Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Meanwhile, combine the chicken thighs, chicken broth, sliced ginger, scallion whites, 3/4 teaspoon salt and a few grinds pepper in a large saucepan. Cover and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat, about 8 minutes. Uncover and gently simmer until the chicken is cooked through, 5 to 10 more minutes.
  • While the chicken cooks, trim the snap peas and thinly slice. Peel the carrots and halve lengthwise, then thinly slice.
  • Add the soba noodles to the boiling water and cook as the label directs. Drain and rinse under warm water, then vigorously shake off the water. Divide among bowls.
  • Using tongs, remove the chicken to a plate. Discard the ginger and scallions from the broth and skim off any foam. Shred the chicken and return to the broth. Add the shiitakes and carrots, return to a simmer and cook until the vegetables are tender, about 3 minutes. Stir in the soy sauce and lemon juice; season with salt and pepper. Stir in the snap peas.
  • Ladle the soup over the noodles. Top with the scallion greens and grated ginger; sprinkle with shichimi togarashi.

SOBA NOODLES WITH CHICKEN AND SNAP PEAS



Soba Noodles With Chicken and Snap Peas image

A simple sesame-soy dressing coats chewy soba noodles, tender chicken and crisp sugar snap peas in this dish that's good at room temperature or cold. It's a great way to use leftover or store-bought rotisserie chicken, but also works well without. You can double up on the snap peas instead or fold in other vegetables, like grated carrots, shredded cabbage or thinly sliced bok choy. The quick daikon pickles add a bright tangy crunch, but you can skip them and still enjoy this one-bowl meal.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 tablespoons rice vinegar
3 tablespoons honey
Kosher salt
1 cup very thinly sliced peeled daikon radish
8 ounces sugar snap peas, strings removed (3 cups)
2 bundles soba noodles (8 to 9 ounces)
3 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1/2 teaspoon red-pepper flakes, plus more for serving
3 cups shredded cooked chicken
Sliced scallions and toasted sesame seeds, for serving

Steps:

  • Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Meanwhile, mix the vinegar, 1 tablespoon honey and 1 teaspoon salt in a small bowl. Add the daikon and press into the mixture to submerge as much as possible. Let stand until ready to serve, mixing occasionally.
  • Add 1/4 cup salt to the boiling water. Add the snap peas and cook just until bright green and tender, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Using a spider or slotted spoon, transfer to a colander and immediately rinse under cold water until cool. Drain well.
  • Add the noodles to the boiling water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 4 to 8 minutes. Drain, rinse under cold water until cool and drain again.
  • While the noodles cook, whisk the soy sauce, sesame oil, red-pepper flakes and remaining 2 tablespoons honey in a large bowl. Add the chicken, soba and snap peas and toss until evenly coated. Season to taste with salt.
  • Divide among bowls. Drain the daikon pickles and arrange on top, then garnish with the scallions, sesame seeds and additional red-pepper flakes.

My Khmer sons both love this soup at our favorite Cambodian restaurant, Chez Sovan, in San Jose, CA. This is my attempt to match the flavors at home. My oldest son's comment on trying the soup was, Mmm so close, make some more! Serve with warm baguette.

LEMONGRASS CHICKEN SOUP



Lemongrass Chicken Soup image

In Chinese cultures, lemongrass and cilantro are considered yin ingredients -- cooling elements that are ideal on hot days. The subtle heat of ginger and chile, combined with the bright aroma of fresh mint, enlivens this lightened rendition of chicken soup.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Soups, Stews & Stocks     Soup Recipes

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 pounds skinless chicken legs
4 lemongrass stalks, white and pale-yellow parts only, smashed and chopped
4 scallions, halved crosswise
1 onion, halved lengthwise
2 ounces ginger (1-inch piece), 1/2 thinly sliced and 1/2 julienned
1 fresh Thai or serrano chile, seeded
1 teaspoon black peppercorns
10 cups water
5 stems fresh cilantro, plus 1/3 cup leaves
3 stems fresh mint, plus 1/4 cup thinly sliced leaves
1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 cup mung bean sprouts

Steps:

  • Place chicken, lemongrass, scallions, onion, sliced ginger, chile, peppercorns, and water in a large pot. Cover, and bring to a simmer. Uncover partially, and gently simmer for 1 hour.
  • Add cilantro and mint stems, and simmer for 15 minutes. Add fish sauce, and strain through a cheesecloth-lined sieve. Reserve broth and chicken. Discard remaining solids. Shred chicken meat, and discard bones. Refrigerate broth and chicken separately for at least 4 hours (or overnight).
  • Skim fat from broth, and reheat broth. Combine chicken, julienned ginger, cilantro leaves, thinly sliced mint, and bean sprouts in a bowl. Divide broth among bowls, and serve with chicken mixture on the side.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lemongrass: Fresh lemongrass has a more intense flavor than dried lemongrass. If you can't find fresh lemongrass, you can substitute 1 teaspoon of dried lemongrass for every 1 stalk of fresh lemongrass.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the chicken, don't overcrowd the pan. This will prevent the chicken from cooking evenly.
  • Cook the noodles according to the package directions: The cooking time for soba noodles will vary depending on the brand. Be sure to cook the noodles according to the package directions.
  • Add the vegetables at the end: The vegetables should be added to the soup at the end of the cooking process. This will prevent them from becoming overcooked.
  • Season to taste: Season the soup to taste with salt and pepper. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or ginger powder.

Conclusion:

Lemongrass chicken soba noodle soup is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. The soup is made with a flavorful broth, tender chicken, soba noodles, and a variety of vegetables. It is a great way to get your daily dose of vegetables and protein. The soup can be easily customized to your liking. For example, you can add more or less vegetables, or you can use a different type of noodle. You can also adjust the amount of heat in the soup by adding more or less red pepper flakes.
