Best 5 Spicy Garlic Shiitake Mushrooms And Glass Noodles Recipes

SPICY GLASS NOODLES WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Place the noodles in a large bowl, cover with room-temperature water and soak until pliable, about 30 minutes. Drain. Place dried shiitakes in a medium bowl, cover with room-temperature water and soak until hydrated and soft, about 30 minutes. Drain the mushrooms, remove their stems, and julienne the caps.
• While the noodles and mushrooms soak, heat the grapeseed oil in a large lidded skillet over medium-high, uncovered. Stir-fry the garlic, ginger and scallion until light golden, about 1 minute. Add the shiitakes and continue to stir-fry until golden, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in the cabbage and curry powder, then 3 tablespoons soy sauce. Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook until the cabbage is wilted and has given up its natural juices, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add the drained noodles and remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Increase heat to high, and stir-fry until noodles absorb the juices and are cooked through yet still chewy, 1 to 2 minutes. Drizzle with sesame oil, toss well, sprinkle with cilantro and serve immediately.

SPICY NOODLE SOUP WITH MUSHROOMS AND HERBS

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add garlic and shallots, and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, until shallots start to turn a nice golden brown, 3 to 4 minutes. Add mushrooms and half the chile, and season with salt and pepper.
• Cook, stirring occasionally, until the mushrooms have softened, released much of their water and turned a deep golden brown, 10 to 15 minutes. (A browned mushroom will have infinitely more flavor than an unbrowned mushroom, because the water inside it evaporates and the flavor concentrates. So do not skip this step.)
• Add 1/2 cup soy sauce, 1/4 cup vinegar and 8 cups of water. Bring to a gentle simmer and season with salt and pepper. Continue to simmer until the flavors have melded and the broth tastes good enough to drink (you will be drinking it), 15 to 20 minutes. Season with more soy sauce and vinegar as you like.
• Meanwhile, cook the noodles in a large pot of salted boiling water until just al dente. (The timing will depend on the type and brand of noodles, so consult the package.) Add the noodles to the pot with the broth, and let them hang out in there for a minute or two to finish cooking and soak up all that flavor.
• To serve, use tongs to divide the noodles and mushrooms among bowls, then ladle the hot broth over the top. Serve with the remaining chile, the herbs and the sesame seeds and oil (if using) for people to dress their own bowls to their liking.

RICE NOODLES WITH CHINESE BROCCOLI AND SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS

Steps:

• Cover noodles with very hot water in a large bowl, and let soak 30 minutes. Drain noodles, and set aside.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add broccoli; cook until crisptender, about 1 minute. Drain; set aside.
• Stir together tamari, fish sauce, vinegar, sugar, and stock in a small bowl; set aside. Heat canola oil in a large nonstick skillet or a wok over medium heat until hot but not smoking. Add ginger, garlic, and mushroom caps; cook, stirring, until mushrooms are soft, about 2 minutes.
• Add tamari mixture to skillet; bring to a simmer over high heat. Stir in cornstarch mixture, and simmer 2 minutes. Add reserved noodles and broccoli, along with the scallions, and toss to coat. Drizzle with sesame oil, and toss again. Serve with red-pepper flakes, sesame seeds, and salt for sprinkling, if desired.

SPICY SOBA NOODLES WITH SHIITAKES AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Stir together all sauce ingredients until brown sugar is dissolved, then set aside.
• Toast sesame seeds in a dry 12-inch heavy skillet (not nonstick) over medium heat, stirring, until pale golden, then transfer to a small bowl.
• Heat oil in skillet over medium-high heat until it shimmers, then sauté ginger and garlic, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add shiitakes and sauté, stirring frequently, until tender and starting to brown, about 6 minutes. Reduce heat to medium, then add cabbage and most of scallions (reserve about a tablespoon for garnish) and cook, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is crisp-tender, about 6 minutes. Add sauce and simmer 2 minutes.
• While cabbage is cooking, cook soba and edamame together in a pasta pot of boiling salted water (2 tablespoons salt for 6 quarts water) until noodles are just tender, about 6 minutes. Drain in a colander and rinse under cool water to stop cooking and remove excess starch, then drain well again. Transfer to a large bowl and toss with sesame seeds and vegetable mixture. Serve sprinkled with reserved scallions.

SPICY MUSHROOM & BROCCOLI NOODLES

Steps:

• Put the stock cube into a pan of water, then bring to the boil. Add the noodles, bring the stock back to the boil and cook for 2 mins. Add the broccoli and boil for 2 mins more. Reserve a cup of the stock, then drain the noodles and veg.
• Heat a frying pan or wok, add the sesame oil and stir-fry the mushrooms for 2 mins until turning golden. Add the garlic, chilli flakes and most of the spring onions, cook 1 min more, then tip in the noodles and broccoli. Splash in 3 tbsp of the stock and the hoisin sauce, then toss together for 1 min using a pair of tongs or 2 wooden spoons. Serve the noodles scattered with the cashew nuts and remaining spring onions. Add a dash more sesame oil to taste, if you like.
