Best 4 Udon With Chicken And Scallions Recipes

CHICKEN AND VEGETABLE STIR-FRY WITH UDON NOODLES

Steps:

• Coat a large, straight-sided saute pan set over medium heat with the peanut oil and toss in the chicken and 1 tablespoon of the soy sauce. Cook until the chicken is cooked through, then remove and reserve for later use.
• Add in the white scallion pieces, garlic, ginger and jalapenos. Add in a splash more of the oil and cook over medium heat, 1 to 2 minutes. Toss in the carrots and cook until softened, about 2 minutes. Toss in the mushrooms and cook until softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Add in the remaining 2 tablespoons soy sauce and the vinegar, and then add the cabbage, edamame and the reserved chicken, and cook 1 minute longer. Sprinkle in the green scallions.
• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Toss in the noodles, swishing them around with a pair of tongs so they don't stick together, and cook until soft, about 30 seconds.
• Add the noodles to the pan, stir to combine and cook until the noodles are hot and nicely coated. Add a drop of sesame oil, then transfer to a serving dish and sprinkle with the peanuts and cilantro to serve.

UDON WITH CHICKEN AND SCALLIONS

Steps:

• Cook chicken in a 6-quart pot of boiling unsalted water, covered, until just cooked through, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl with a slotted spoon.
• Add broccoli to boiling water and cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. Transfer with slotted spoon to a colander to drain, then transfer to another bowl. Return water to a boil and cook noodles until tender (check often; cooking time on package may not be accurate). Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain noodles in colander and rinse under hot water.
• While noodles cook, tear chicken into chunks.
• Add oyster and hoisin sauces, sesame oil, chile garlic paste, half of scallions, and 1/3 cup cooking water to chicken and stir to combine.
• Divide noodles, broccoli, and chicken mixture among 4 bowls and sprinkle with sesame seeds and remaining scallions. Serve immediately, stirring just before eating. If noodles become dry, moisten with some of cooking water.
• Cooks' Note
• If you have to substitute a chile paste without garlic for the chile garlic paste, start with 1/2 teaspoon and add to taste.

When cold, drain well in a colander.
