Time 20m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons sweet soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 1/2 tablespoons fish sauce
1 tablespoon sugar
1 teaspoon Sriracha
1 teaspoon minced garlic
6 to 8 Thai basil leaves, cut chiffonade
3 tablespoons canola or peanut oil
2 to 3 cloves garlic, minced
2 large eggs
1 to 2 serrano chiles, thinly sliced
6 to 8 large shrimp, peeled and deveined

1/2 cup grape tomatoes, halved

Steps:

  • Make sauce: Combine all of the ingredients in a small bowl. Set aside.
  • Prepare noodles: In a large saute pan, heat the oil over high heat. When you see a wisp of white smoke, add the garlic and cook, stirring, until light brown.

  • Add the shrimp and onion, folding constantly until the shrimp turn pink, about 1 minute.
  • Add the noodles, basil, tomatoes and sauce and toss to combine for about 3 minutes. Don't be scared to scrape the bits off the bottom before they burn. Cook for 1 additional minute until the noodles are cooked and coated well. Serve hot.

Time 35m

Yield 4 , 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 15

olive oil
1 lb Italian chicken sausage
1 large onion, quartered and sliced thinly
1 1/2 teaspoons salt
1 teaspoon italian seasoning
1/2 teaspoon cracked black pepper
1 red bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced
1 yellow bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced
1 orange bell pepper, cored and thinly sliced
4 garlic cloves, pressed through garlic press
1/2 cup white wine (I used Chardonnay)
1 (28 ounce) can diced tomatoes with juice
2 tablespoons flat leaf parsley, chopped
1/4 cup fresh basil leaf, julienned, divided use
1/2 lb pappardelle pasta

Steps:

  • -Place a large, heavy-bottom pan or braising pot over medium-high heat; add about 2 tablespoons of olive oil, and once the oil is hot, crumble the spicy Italian sausage into the pan in small chunks (you want to keep the sausage fairly chunky), allowing it to brown in the oil for a few moments on each side; once the crumbled sausage is browned, remove it from the pan/pot with a slotted spoon and place into a small bowl to hold for a moment; next, add the sliced onion into the pan with the sausage drippings, and allow it to caramelize and become golden for roughly 5 minutes or so, stirring to keep it from burning (add a touch more olive oil, if necessary); once the onion starts to become golden, add the salt, Italian seasoning and cracked black pepper, and stir to combine, then add in the sliced bell peppers, and allow those to saute with the onion for about 2 minutes until slightly tender and golden; next, add in the garlic, and once it becomes aromatic, add in the white wine and allow it to reduce for a few moments, until almost completely reduced; next, add in the diced tomatoes with their juice, and return the browned spicy Italian sausage back into the pan, and gently fold the mixture to combine; allow it to gently simmer for about 3-4 minutes to blend the flavors, then turn the heat off; to finish the sauce, drizzle in about 2-3 good tablespoons of the olive oil to create a silky, rich flavor, and add in the chopped parsley and about half of the julienned basil; stir, and keep warm while you prepare the noodles.
  • -Prepare the pappardelle noodles according to instructions on package; then, drain the noodles very well, and add them directly into the sauce, using tongs to gently toss and combine the pappardelle noodles with the sauce and all of the ingredients in it; check the seasoning to see if you need to add any additional salt or pepper.
  • -To serve, add equal portions of the "Drunken" noodles to bowls, and garnish with a sprinkle of the remaining julienned basil; you can even top with shaved Parmesan, if desired, and an extra drizzle of olive oil.

There are so many things to love about this easy pasta dinner. It's simple, made with inexpensive ingredients, beautiful, and tastes amazing. The Italian sausage gives this unmistakenly Italian flavor. Colorful bell peppers add a mild flavor and combine with the tomatoes nicely. Pasta isn't the star of this recipe so the mild egg...

CHEF JOHN'S DRUNKEN NOODLES



Chef John's Drunken Noodles image

I did have a drink or three while making these, so I could enjoy them as the food gods intended, which is slightly drunk. At least that's the main theory on how this dish got its name. The other theory is that it got its name because at one point it was made with wine - but that's not as entertaining! Serve garnished with Thai basil and lime, if desired.

Categories     Thai Main Dishes

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 16

8 ounces dried rice noodles
¼ cup oyster sauce
¼ cup soy sauce
1 tablespoon Asian fish sauce
1 tablespoon maple syrup
1 teaspoon white sugar
2 tablespoons cold water
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 teaspoon sesame oil
1 cup shallots, thinly sliced
6 teaspoons chile padi (bird's eye chiles), thinly sliced
4 cloves garlic, minced
2 ½ pounds skinless, boneless chicken thighs, cut into strips
1 pound Chinese broccoli, sliced
4 stalk (blank)s green onions, thinly sliced
1 cup fresh Thai basil leaves

Steps:

  • Soak rice noodles in hot water until flexible, 10 to 15 minutes. Occasionally move the noodles around to separate them. Drain the water and cover with a wet paper towel.
  • Combine oyster sauce, soy sauce, Asian fish sauce, maple syrup, sugar, and water in a small bowl.
  • Heat vegetable oil and sesame oil in a wok, or large frying pan, over medium-high heat. Stir-fry shallots, chile peppers, and garlic until shallots are soft, about 2 minutes. Move the mixture around the outside of the pan to create a space and add chicken. Sear for 1 minute, then combine with shallot mixture. Add Chinese broccoli stems and stir-fry until tender, about 2 minutes. Add Chinese broccoli leaves and stir-fry until wilted.
  • Add drunken noodle sauce and sliced green onions and mix. Cook until sauce begins to simmer. Add soaked rice noodles and toss to coat until noodles have absorbed the sauce and are cooked through, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.
  • Stir in Thai basil leaves until wilted. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed. Serve.

Tips:

  • Use wide noodles: Wide noodles, like fettuccine or pappardelle, work best for this recipe. They can hold the sauce better and won't get lost in the mix.
  • Don't overcook the noodles: Cook the noodles according to the package instructions, but err on the side of undercooking them slightly. They will continue to cook in the sauce.
  • Use a good quality wine: The wine you use in this recipe will make a big difference in the flavor of the sauce. Choose a dry white wine that you would enjoy drinking on its own.
  • Don't skimp on the herbs: The herbs in this recipe add a lot of flavor. Use fresh herbs whenever possible, and don't be afraid to use a generous amount.
  • Let the sauce simmer: The longer the sauce simmers, the more time it has to develop its flavor. Simmer the sauce for at least 30 minutes, or up to an hour.

Conclusion:

This saucy Italian drunken noodles recipe is a quick and easy weeknight meal that is sure to please the whole family. The combination of tender noodles, flavorful sauce, and fresh herbs makes this dish irresistible. Serve it with a side of garlic bread or a green salad for a complete meal.
