RICE NOODLES WITH GARLICKY CASHEW SAUCE



Rice Noodles With Garlicky Cashew Sauce image

This dish is loosely based on an Indo-Chinese garlic noodle dish. Here, a combination of Italian and Chinese condiments like cashews, Parmesan, soy sauce and anchovies create a creamy, umami-rich garlic sauce. This recipe uses rice noodles, but you could use egg noodles, ramen or any type of noodle. Since Parmesan, anchovies and soy sauce tend to fall on the saltier side, taste as you go and season the sauce accordingly. Feel free to reduce the amount of garlic, as it leans toward the generous side. These noodles are best eaten warm as soon as they're mixed with the sauce.

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 cup raw cashews
8 ounces stir-fry rice noodles
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil, plus more for finishing, if desired
1/4 packed cup grated Parmesan
4 garlic cloves, peeled
1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
1 tablespoon anchovy paste
1 teaspoon black pepper
Fine sea salt
2 scallions, thinly sliced (about 1/4 cup)
2 tablespoons sesame seeds

Steps:

  • Soak the cashews in 2 cups of boiling water for 15 minutes.
  • Start the noodles: As cashews soak, prepare the noodles according to package directions. Reserve 3/4 cup of the hot cooking water and drain the noodles, then transfer the noodles to a large mixing bowl. Toss them with 1 tablespoon sesame oil to prevent them from sticking.
  • Drain the cashews and discard the soaking water. Transfer the cashews to a blender. Add the Parmesan, garlic, soy sauce, anchovy paste and black pepper. With the blender on high speed, add 1/4 cup of the reserved hot cooking water, then add 2 tablespoons at a time until the mixture emulsifies. Taste and adjust salt.
  • Add the sauce to the noodles and toss to coat. Divide the noodles among 4 serving bowls. Garnish with scallions, sesame seeds and toasted sesame oil, if using. Serve immediately.

Yield 2-4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 lb. any color sweet potatoes, peeled, cut into ½" pieces
2 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. tamari; divided, plus more for serving
2 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil, divided
1 1" piece ginger, peeled, finely grated
¼ cup creamy cashew butter
1 Tbsp. unseasoned rice vinegar
1½ tsp. toasted sesame oil
4 oz. sweet potato bean thread noodles
¼ cup (loosely packed) basil leaves, thinly sliced
1 lime, cut into wedges

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 375°. Toss sweet potatoes with 1 Tbsp. tamari and 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a 13x9" baking dish to coat. Arrange potatoes in an even layer and cover with foil; bake 15 minutes. Uncover, stir, and roast until tender, 15-25 minutes more.
  • Meanwhile, whisk ginger, cashew butter, vinegar, sesame oil, remaining 1 Tbsp. plus 1½ tsp. tamari, and remaining 1 Tbsp. olive oil in a small bowl to combine. Set sauce aside.
  • Cook noodles in a medium pot of boiling water 6 minutes. Drain, reserving 3 Tbsp. noodle cooking liquid. Rinse noodles under cold running water. If noodles are very long, snip into about 6" pieces with kitchen shears. Transfer to a large bowl.
  • Whisk reserved noodle cooking liquid into reserve sauce, then add half of sauce to noodles; toss to coat.
  • Divide noodles among plates; scatter sweet potatoes over and drizzle with more sauce if desired. Top with basil and serve with lime wedges and more tamari alongside.

Tips:

  • To make the perfect sweet potato noodles, use a spiralizer or julienne peeler to create long, thin strands.
  • If you don't have a spiralizer or julienne peeler, you can also use a knife to thinly slice the sweet potatoes.
  • Be sure to cook the sweet potato noodles until they are tender but still slightly firm. Overcooked noodles will become mushy.
  • For the cashew sesame sauce, use creamy peanut butter for a rich, nutty flavor.
  • If you don't have creamy peanut butter, you can also use regular peanut butter or almond butter.
  • Add a splash of rice vinegar or lime juice to the sauce for a bit of acidity.
  • Garnish the dish with chopped green onions, cilantro, or sesame seeds for extra flavor and color.

Conclusion:

This sweet potato noodles with cashew sesame sauce is a delicious and healthy meal that is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight dinner. The sweet potato noodles are a good source of fiber and vitamins, and the cashew sesame sauce is packed with protein and healthy fats. This dish is also naturally gluten-free and vegan, making it a great option for people with dietary restrictions.
