SHANGHAI STIR-FRIED CHUNKY NOODLES



Shanghai Stir-Fried Chunky Noodles image

This Shanghainese noodle recipe, from the British cook and food writer Fuchsia Dunlop, can be made vegetarian by omitting the pork. Do seek out light and dark soy sauces; light soy sauce adds salty-umami flavor and dark soy sauce adds color. Traditional woks are made from carbon steel, and must be routinely seasoned to keep from rusting. To season, heat the wok on high, turn off the flame and use a paper towel to wipe the interior with vegetable oil. Repeat if necessary. A deep frying pan with high sides will work for this recipe if you don't have a wok.

Time 35m

Yield 3 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

6 ounces lean pork, from a boneless pork loin chop or a tenderloin
1/2 teaspoon plus 2 tablespoons light soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons Shaoxing wine
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 pound fresh Shanghai noodles or Japanese udon noodles
2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil, plus a splash
1 tablespoon dark soy sauce
2 tablespoons chicken stock
10 ounces green baby bok choy or 2 large handfuls of baby spinach
Salt and ground white pepper

Steps:

  • Cut the pork evenly into 1/4-inch slices, then into 1/8-inch slivers.
  • In a small bowl, combine 1/2 teaspoon light soy sauce, the Shaoxing wine, the cornstarch and 1 tablespoon cold water and mix well. Add pork and marinate until ready to cook.
  • Bring a large, deep pot of water to a boil. Add noodles and cook for 2 minutes. Turn the cooked noodles into a colander and rinse with cold water. Shake them dry and toss with a splash of oil, stirring thoroughly to prevent sticking.

SHANGHAI STIR-FRIED CHUNKY NOODLES



Shanghai Stir-Fried Chunky Noodles image

This Shanghainese dish is made with thick, bouncy noodles like fresh Japanese udon, which are given a dark caramel tint by soy sauce and freshened up with barely cooked greens. Pork slivers make a delicious addition, but vegetarians may omit them and still enjoy the dish. In Shanghai, the greens will be the tenderest little sprouts of green bok choy, known as "chicken feather greens"; at home I often use baby spinach because the leaves need to be tender enough to wilt quickly in the heat of the wok. According to some accounts, the recipe was developed by Shanghainese immigrants in Hong Kong. This is a meal in one dish and makes a quick, satisfying lunch. It serves 2 as a meal, 4 or more if served with other Chinese dishes.

Time 30m

Yield 2 to 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

4 oz (100g) lean pork
15 oz (425g) fresh Shanghai noodles or Japanese udon
2 1/2 tbsp cooking oil
9 oz (200g) baby green bok choy or 2 large handfuls of baby spinach
1 1/2 tsp dark soy sauce
1 tbsp light soy sauce
Salt and ground white pepper
1/2 tsp light soy sauce
1/2 tbsp Shaoxing wine
2 tsp potato starch
1 tbsp beaten egg or 1 tbsp cold water

Steps:

  • Cut the pork evenly into thin slices, then into slivers. Add the marinade ingredients and mix well.
  • Bring a pan of water to the boil. Add the noodles and cook for 2 minutes (fresh Shanghai and udon noodles are already half-cooked when you buy them, which is why this doesn't take long). Turn the cooked noodles into a colander and cool under the cold tap. Shake them dry. Drip over 1/2 tablespoon oil and stir in thoroughly to prevent sticking.
  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil in a seasoned wok over a high flame. Add the pork strips and stir-fry swiftly to separate them. When they are just cooked, remove from the wok and set aside. Clean and re-season the wok if necessary, then return it to a high flame with the remaining oil. Add the noodles and stir-fry until piping hot, adding both soy sauces and seasoning with salt and pepper. Add the bok choy or spinach and continue to stir-fry briefly until wilted. Finally, stir in the pork. Serve.

Categories     main-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound fresh Shanghai noodles, or Japanese udon noodles
2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine
1 tablespoon hoisin sauce
1 teaspoon cornstarch
12 ounces flank steak, sliced into 1/4-inch strips
3 tablespoons dark soy sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/2 teaspoon sugar
2 tablespoons peanut oil
1/2 teaspoon minced garlic
1/2 teaspoon minced ginger
1/2 teaspoon minced green onions, plus 1 cup cut-on-a-bias green onions
3 cups julienned Napa cabbage
1/2 teaspoon minced jalapeno

Steps:

  • In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook the noodles until al dente, about 8 minutes. Rinse under cold running water and drain well. Set aside. In a small bowl, combine the rice wine, hoisin, and cornstarch. Add the beef, toss to coat, and marinate for 15 minutes. In another bowl, combine the dark soy, soy sauce and sugar, and stir well to dissolve the sugar. Place a wok over a high heat and add 1 tablespoon of the peanut oil, swirling to coat. When hot, add the garlic, ginger, and minced green onions, and cook, stirring quickly, for 10 seconds. Add the beef and stir-fry for 3 minutes. Add the cabbage and stir-fry for 3 minutes. Transfer to a platter and return the wok to a high heat. Swirl the remaining tablespoon of peanut oil in the wok and once hot, add the noodles to the pan and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the sliced green onions and jalapeno and sauce and toss all for 1 minute. Add the beef and stir to heat through. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Use high-quality ingredients: Fresh vegetables, tender meat, and flavorful sauces will make all the difference in your stir-fried Shanghai noodles.
  • Cook your noodles properly: Shanghai noodles should be cooked until they are al dente, with a slight bite to them. Overcooked noodles will be mushy and unpleasant.
  • Use a well-seasoned wok: A well-seasoned wok will help to prevent your noodles from sticking and will also add flavor to the dish.
  • Stir-fry your noodles over high heat: This will help to create a nice sear on the noodles and prevent them from becoming soggy.
  • Add your vegetables and meat last: This will ensure that they are cooked through but still retain their鮮豔色彩 and crunch.
  • Use a flavorful sauce: There are many different sauces that you can use for stir-fried Shanghai noodles. Some popular options include soy sauce, oyster sauce, and hoisin sauce.
