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.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality soba noodles: Fresh or dried soba noodles can be used for this dish, but fresh noodles will yield the best results. Look for soba noodles made with 100% buckwheat flour, as these noodles will have a nutty flavor and firm texture.
  • Cook the soba noodles according to the package directions: Soba noodles typically take about 5-7 minutes to cook. Be sure to rinse the noodles with cold water after cooking to stop the cooking process and prevent them from sticking together.
  • Make sure the chicken is cooked through: The chicken should be cooked until it reaches an internal temperature of 165 degrees Fahrenheit. To ensure that the chicken is cooked through, use a meat thermometer to check the temperature before serving.
  • Use a flavorful marinade for the chicken: The marinade for the chicken should contain a variety of spices and herbs to give it a delicious flavor. Some good options include soy sauce, ginger, garlic, and sesame oil.
  • Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender-crisp. Overcooking the vegetables will make them mushy and bland.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: The sauce for the dish should be flavorful and have a good balance of sweet, sour, and savory flavors. A good option is to use a combination of soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sesame oil.

Conclusion:

Soba noodles with sesame chicken is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. The soba noodles are light and refreshing, while the sesame chicken is flavorful and satisfying. The vegetables add a touch of color and crunch to the dish. With a little planning, this dish can be made in about 30 minutes. This dish is also a great way to use up leftover chicken. If you have any cooked chicken on hand, simply shred it and add it to the sauce. This dish can also be made with tofu or tempeh for a vegetarian or vegan option.
