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.

SPICY GINGER PORK NOODLES WITH BOK CHOY



Spicy Ginger Pork Noodles With Bok Choy image

Spicy, brawny and full of ginger and garlic, these pork noodles are a play on dumplings, but easier to make at home. If you don't have the black vinegar to sprinkle on top of the sliced ginger, you can simply leave it out. Or try substituting balsamic, which is a bit sweeter, but has similar caramel notes to play off the ginger's pungency.

Categories     dinner, main course

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

12 ounces baby bok choy (3 or 4 small heads)
1 ounce ginger root (1 fat 2-inch-thick knob)
Kosher salt
8 ounces rice noodles, not too thin
2 tablespoons peanut or safflower oil
1 pound lean ground pork
1/4 cup plus 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
2 tablespoons rice wine vinegar
1/2 cup thinly sliced scallions
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 fresh Thai or habanero chile, seeded if desired, thinly sliced
2 tablespoons toasted sesame seeds
1 1/2 teaspoons sesame oil, more for drizzling
Cilantro or torn basil, for serving
Black vinegar, for serving

Steps:

  • Trim bok choy and separate dark green tops from white stems; leave tops whole and thinly slice stems. Peel ginger and finely chop half of it. Slice remaining ginger into thin matchsticks.
  • Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add noodles and cook according to package instructions. Drain and run under cool water; drain again.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon peanut oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook, breaking up with a fork, until golden and cooked through, about 10 minutes. Season with salt, 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce and 1/2 tablespoon rice wine vinegar. Use a slotted spoon to transfer meat to a bowl.
  • Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil to skillet. Stir in half the scallions, the finely chopped ginger, the garlic and the chile. Cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add bok choy stems and a pinch of salt. Cook until bok choy is almost tender, about 2 minutes. Toss in leaves and return pork to skillet.
  • Toss noodles, remaining 1/4 cup soy sauce and 1 1/2 tablespoons rice vinegar into the pan. Cook until just warmed through.
  • Transfer to a large bowl and toss with remaining scallions, sesame seeds, sesame oil and herbs. In a small bowl, combine ginger matchsticks with just enough black vinegar to cover. Serve ginger mixture alongside noodles as a garnish.

SOBA NOODLE SOUP



Soba Noodle Soup image

A bowl of soba is a beautiful, exotic and delicious centerpiece for a Japanese meal: the not-too-soft, nutty buckwheat noodles sitting in a mahogany broth - dashi - that's as clear and glossy as beef consommé, not only salty and umami-complex but sweet as well. My favorite variety, tamago toji, is egg-topped. When it's made right, the egg is almost foamy, soft-scrambled and tender, deliciously flavored by the dashi, a bit of which it absorbs.

Categories     dinner, soups and stews, appetizer

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 9

Salt
3 cups lightly packed shaved bonito flakes
3/4 cup soy sauce, preferably light (not low-sodium but usukuchi)
1/4 cup mirin
2 tablespoons sugar
1 sheet nori
4 eggs
About 1 pound soba noodles
1/2 cup chopped scallions

Steps:

  • Heat the oven (or a toaster oven) to 300. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. In another large pot, bring 10 cups of water to a boil; stir in the bonito flakes, turn off the heat and steep for 10 minutes, no more. Strain into a large bowl; discard the flakes.
  • Put the soy sauce, mirin, sugar and a pinch of salt in the pot you used to make the broth; bring to a boil. Let it boil for a minute, then add the bonito stock; bring it back to a boil, and transfer 6 cups to a separate pot and keep hot. (This will be the broth for the soup; what remains is for cooking the eggs.) Toast the nori in the oven until slightly crisp, about 5 minutes. Cut into quarters and set aside. Crack the eggs into a bowl or a large measuring cup with a spout and beat until frothy.
  • Cook the noodles in the boiling water until just tender, 3 to 4 minutes, then drain, quickly rinse under cold running water and drain again. Put a portion of noodles into each of four soup bowls. Using a circular pouring motion, slowly stream the eggs, 1/3 at a time, into the smaller amount of boiling broth; as the first third sets, add the second; as the second sets, add the third, then turn off the heat and let the eggs sit for a minute. In the meantime ladle the stock (the one without the eggs in it) over the noodles. Use a slotted spoon to scoop a portion of the egg into each bowl, garnish with the nori and scallions and serve.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality soba noodles. Look for noodles that are made with 100% buckwheat flour and have a slightly nutty flavor.
  • Roast the pork ahead of time. This will allow the flavors to develop and make the pork more tender.
  • Use a variety of vegetables. Bok choy, carrots, and mushrooms are all great choices, but you can also use whatever vegetables you have on hand.
  • Make sure the broth is flavorful. Use a combination of chicken broth, soy sauce, and mirin to create a rich and savory broth.
  • Serve the soup hot. Soba noodle soup is best enjoyed when it is hot and steaming.

Conclusion:

Soba noodle soup is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for any occasion. It is easy to make and can be tailored to your own taste preferences. So next time you are looking for a quick and easy meal, give soba noodle soup a try.
