I haven't posted a recipe on here in quite sometime. It's way over due! Last night I made a seared steak with a Chinese mustard-soy dipping sauce and a side of spicy cold noodles. We rarely go back for seconds in our house hold (it's not that the food is bad, we are both watch our diet closely), last night we both went back for seconds. The spicy noodles were amazing! Guess what I'm having for lunch today?
OK here's the recipe and a couple of changes that can be made:
Ingredients:
1 pound Chinese egg noodles ( I used Soba, but if you are the typical person with a package of Top Ramen tucked away I'd imagine they would work in a pinch)
3 tblspns soy
2 tblspns rice vinegar
1 tblspn sesame oil
2 teaspns chile paste (I used Sambal Olek)
1/2 a cucumber peeled, seeded, and diced
4 radishes chopped
2 chopped scallons
a handful of chopped cilantro
Boil noodles for 2 to 3 minutes and drain, then plunge into ice cold water to stop the cooking. Do not over cook the noodles to mush. Whisk together soy, vinegar, sesame oil, and chile paste together in a bowl. Add noodles and all remaining ingredients except for 1/2 the cilantro. Chill well. Garnish with remaining cilantro.
The recipe can also be adapted by adding cold Chinese BBQ pork and bean sprouts. You can also make it spicier if you like by adding more chile paste.
Enjoy!
