SPICY SESAME NOODLES WITH CHICKEN AND PEANUTS



Spicy Sesame Noodles With Chicken and Peanuts image

In this quick and spicy weeknight noodle dish, sizzling hot oil is poured over red-pepper flakes, orange peel, crunchy peanuts, soy sauce and sesame oil. While you brown the ground chicken, the mixture sits, and the flavors become more pronounced and fiery. Tossed with soft noodles and browned chicken, the bright chile-peanut oil shines. If you crave something green, throw in a quick-cooking green vegetable when you break up the chicken in Step 3. You can also swap the chicken with ground pork or beef, or crumbled tofu.

Time 30m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 1/2 tablespoons red-pepper flakes
1 1/2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons toasted sesame oil, plus more as needed
Kosher salt and black pepper
1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon neutral oil, like grapeseed or vegetable
6 tablespoons roasted, salted peanuts, coarsely chopped
Rind of 1/2 orange, peeled into 2- to 3-inch strips
1 pound ground chicken
10 to 12 ounces ramen or udon noodles, preferably fresh
3 tablespoons finely chopped chives

Steps:

  • In a medium heatproof bowl, stir together the red-pepper flakes, soy sauce and sesame oil. Set next to the stovetop.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Meanwhile, in a large (12-inch) skillet over medium heat, cook the 1/2 cup oil, peanuts and orange rind, shaking the pan occasionally, until the peanuts are golden and bubbling, 3 to 5 minutes. Immediately pour the contents of the skillet over the red-pepper mixture (be careful of splattering!) and set aside.
  • Meanwhile, in the same skillet, heat the remaining tablespoon oil over medium-high. Add the chicken and press it down with a wooden spoon into a thin layer. Season with salt and a generous amount of black pepper and cook, without stirring, occasionally pressing the layer of chicken down, until the bottom is browned, 5 to 7 minutes. Break the chicken up into small pieces and cook, stirring occasionally, until cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes more.
  • While the chicken cooks, cook the noodles according to package directions, until chewy but not soft. Drain and toss with a bit of sesame oil.
  • Remove and discard the orange rind from the chile oil. Off the heat, add enough chile oil to coat the chicken and stir, scraping up any browned bits from the pan. Add the noodles and toss, adding more chile oil to fully coat the noodles and chicken. (If you don't use all of the chile oil, you can store it in the refrigerator for 2 weeks in an airtight container.) Top with chives and serve at once.

Categories     World Cuisine Recipes     Asian

Time 40m

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 (16 ounce) package angel hair pasta
3 tablespoons peanut oil, divided
4 boneless, skinless chicken breast, cut into 1/2 inch pieces
2 cups shredded carrots
2 cups sliced celery
6 green onions, chopped
3 tablespoons Chinese black bean and garlic sauce
1 ½ cups chicken broth
1 teaspoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon sesame oil

Steps:

  • Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil over high heat. Once the water is boiling, stir in the angel hair pasta, and return to a boil. Cook the pasta uncovered, stirring occasionally, until the pasta has cooked through, but is still firm to the bite, 4 to 5 minutes. Drain well in a colander set in the sink.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of peanut oil in a skillet over medium-high heat, then add chicken breast. Cook and stir chicken until no longer pink inside, about 10 minutes; set aside.
  • In the same skillet, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons of peanut oil over medium-high heat and mix in carrots, celery, and green onion. Cook and stir until tender yet still crisp, 5 to 6 minutes. Mix in Chinese black bean and garlic sauce; cook and stir for another minute. In a separate bowl, mix chicken broth, soy sauce, and cornstarch; add sesame oil. Pour mixture over vegetables and simmer until thickened. Toss in drained pasta, stirring until well-coated and heated through.

Tips:

  • Use fresh lo mein noodles for the best texture. Fresh lo mein noodles are chewier and have a better flavor than dried noodles.
  • Cook the noodles according to the package directions. Overcooked noodles will be mushy and unpleasant to eat.
  • Use a large skillet or wok to cook the chicken and vegetables. This will ensure that the food cooks evenly and doesn't get crowded.
  • Add the sauce to the skillet or wok and bring it to a simmer. Simmering the sauce will help to thicken it and develop the flavors.
  • Toss the noodles with the sauce and vegetables until they are evenly coated. Make sure to taste the noodles and adjust the seasoning as needed.
  • Serve the lo mein immediately, garnished with green onions and sesame seeds.

Conclusion:

This sesame peanut chicken lo mein is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a quick weeknight meal. The combination of flavors and textures in this dish is sure to please everyone. So next time you're looking for a new lo mein recipe, give this one a try!
