RICE NOODLES WITH SEARED PORK, CARROTS AND HERBS



Rice Noodles With Seared Pork, Carrots and Herbs image

Vietnamese-style marinated pork chops are often served whole with rice noodles, herbs and a dipping sauce. This version mixes all the components, infusing the noodles, sliced meat and vegetables with the sauce and keeping the noodles tender even after a day in the fridge. Dark, robust maple syrup takes the place of the traditional dark caramel in a nod to autumn (and as a weeknight shortcut to save you the hassle of browning sugar). The pork takes only a few minutes to cook, the noodles about 3, so this whole dish comes together really fast.

Time 20m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1/3 cup fish sauce
1/4 cup dark, pure maple syrup
2 tablespoons grapeseed or other neutral oil
Black pepper
2 large shallots, thinly sliced (3/4 cup)
1 long red finger chile, thinly sliced (1/3 cup)
3 small garlic cloves, minced (1 tablespoon)
4 thin (1/2-inch) boneless pork chops (3/4 to 1 pound total)
1/3 cup fresh lime juice (from about 3 limes), plus lime wedges for serving
3 carrots, peeled and julienned (2 cups)
Kosher salt
8 to 9 ounces thin rice vermicelli noodles
2 packed cups torn fresh herbs, such as cilantro, basil and dill (2 1/2 ounces), plus more for garnish

Steps:

  • Whisk the fish sauce, syrup, 1 tablespoon oil, and 1/2 teaspoon pepper in a large bowl. Stir in the shallots, chile and garlic. Transfer 2 tablespoons liquid to a large shallow dish and add the pork. Turn to evenly coat and let stand until ready to cook.
  • Stir the lime juice into the sauce in the bowl. Add the carrots and toss until evenly coated. Let stand.
  • Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Meanwhile, heat a large skillet over medium-high heat. Season the pork with salt and pepper. Heat the remaining tablespoon oil in the skillet and swirl to coat the bottom. Add the pork and cook, turning once, until seared and just rosy in the center, 2 to 4 minutes per side. Transfer to a plate and let stand.
  • Put the noodles in the boiling water, stir well, and remove from the heat. Let stand until softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain very well, then transfer to the sauce in the bowl. Toss until evenly coated.
  • Cut the pork into thin slices and add to the noodles with any accumulated juices. Toss well. Toss in the herbs until well mixed. The mixture may look a bit soupy. As it sits and cools, the noodles will absorb the liquid. Serve hot, warm, at room temperature or cold, with more herbs and lime wedges.

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.

Yield Makes 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound cleaned squid, bodies cut into 1/3-inch-thick rings and tentacles halved
8 ounces 1/8-inch-wide dried rice-stick noodles (rice vermicelli)
6 tablespoons fresh lime juice
1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce
2 teaspoons sugar
3/4 teaspoon hot red pepper flakes
6 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 Kirby cucumber, sliced into thin half-moons
2 scallions, thinly sliced
1 cup mixed coarsely chopped herbs such as mint, basil, and cilantro

Steps:

  • Cook squid in a 5-quart pot of well-salted boiling water, stirring once, until just opaque, about 1 minute. Transfer with a slotted spoon to an ice bath to stop cooking, reserving boiling water in pot.
  • Boil noodles in same water until just tender, about 3 minutes.
  • When squid is cool, transfer to a plate, reserving ice bath, and pat dry.
  • Drain noodles, then transfer to ice bath to stop cooking. Drain well, then snip with kitchen shears 2 or 3 times.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together lime juice, fish sauce, sugar, red pepper flakes, and 1 teaspoon salt in a large bowl until sugar has dissolved. Add oil in a slow stream, whisking until combined.
  • Add noodles and calamari to dressing with cucumber, scallions, and herbs and toss well.

Tips:

  • Soak the rice noodles before cooking: This will help them soften and cook evenly.
  • Use a large pan or skillet for cooking the noodles: This will give them plenty of room to move around and cook evenly.
  • Add the vegetables and herbs to the noodles at the end of cooking: This will help them retain their color and flavor.
  • Serve the noodles immediately: They are best enjoyed fresh and hot.

Conclusion:

These rice noodles with scallions and herbs are a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick and healthy meal. The noodles are light and flavorful, and the vegetables and herbs add a pop of color and flavor. This dish is also very versatile, and you can easily add other ingredients, such as protein or additional vegetables, to make it a more complete meal.
