ROASTED CHICKEN WITH SESAME SOBA NOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450˚. Heat a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat and add the olive oil. Season the chicken with salt and pepper and add skin-side down to the skillet. Cook, moving the chicken occasionally, until the skin is browned and crisp, about 10 minutes. Flip the chicken, transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until cooked through, 10 to 12 minutes.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Stem the kale and thinly slice the leaves; trim and thinly slice the Brussels sprouts. Toss the kale and Brussels sprouts in a large bowl with 1 tablespoon vinegar and a big pinch of salt; set aside until softened, about 5 minutes.
• Add the noodles to the boiling water and cook as the label directs. Drain and run under cold water until cool, then add to the vegetables.
• Whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar, the pickled ginger and brine, sesame oil, soy sauce, garlic, a pinch of salt and a few grinds of pepper in a small bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the noodle mixture; toss well. Add half of the sesame seeds and toss; season with salt and pepper. Divide the noodle mixture and chicken among plates; sprinkle with the remaining sesame seeds.

Fill a large skillet 3/4 full with water, add a sprinkle of salt and bring to a simmer. Add chicken tenders and cook 5 to 7 minutes or until chicken is tender. Drain chicken and shred directly into bowl with dressing. 3. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add soba and shiitakes; cook 3 minutes. Add bok choy and broccoli; cook 1 to 2 minutes or until noodles are al dente. 4. Drain noodles and vegetables and add to bowl with chicken and dressing. Toss gently to combine. Garnish with basil if desired.

COLD PEANUT SOBA NOODLES WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the soba noodles and edamame and cook as the noodle label directs. Reserve 1 cup cooking water, then drain the noodles and edamame and run under cold water until cool.
• Whisk the peanut butter, vinegar, soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil and chili sauce in a large bowl. Add 1/2 cup of the reserved cooking water and whisk until smooth. Add the noodles and edamame, season with salt and toss to combine (add more cooking water to loosen, if needed). Divide among shallow bowls and top with the chicken, cucumber and scallions.

CHICKEN AND SCALLION SOBA

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, remove any fat or gristle from the chicken. Cut along the length into thin strips about 1/4 inch wide. Cut crosswise into pieces about 1/2 inch long. Place the pieces in a bowl, and add 2 tablespoons of soy sauce plus the sake and the ginger root. Toss lightly to coat, and set aside.
• Cut the scallions on the diagonal into 1/2-inch lengths and set aside, reserving the green sections from 4 scallions. Finely mince the green sections, and set aside.
• In a large pot, heat 3 quarts of water for the noodles. Scatter the noodles over the surface. Once the water reaches a boil, cook for 5 to 6 minutes, or until just tender. Drain the noodles in a colander, and rinse under cold running water to remove the starch. Drain again, and divide noodles among six large soup bowls.
• In another pot, combine the dashi, mirin and remainder of the soy sauce, and heat to a gentle boil. Add the chicken pieces, and cook about 5 to 7 minutes, until the chicken is tender. Skim off any impurities from the top. Add the scallion sections, and continue cooking for 1 minute.
• Apportion the mixture over the noodles. Sprinkle with the minced scallion greens, and serve immediately.

CHICKEN RAMEN BOWL

Steps:

• Heat a Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add onion and saute until starting to soften, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and ginger; cook about 30 seconds more. Add rice vinegar, soy sauce, oyster sauce, mirin, fish sauce, and sriracha sauce; stir to combine. Add chicken broth and water and bring to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer about 5 minutes. Add chicken and bok choy; simmer gently until bok choy is just tender, about 2 minutes.
• Fill a large pot with lightly salted water and bring to a rolling boil. Add ramen noodles and return to a boil. Cook, uncovered, stirring occasionally, until noodles are tender yet firm to the bite, 5 to 7 minutes. Drain and drizzle with vegetable oil to prevent sticking.
• While ramen is cooking, fill a pot with enough water to cover the eggs and bring to a boil. Gently lower eggs into the boiling water and cook until yolks are barely set, about 7 minutes.
• Fill a large bowl with ice water. Transfer soft boiled eggs to the ice bath to stop the cooking process; let sit about 3 minutes. Drain eggs, carefully peel away shells, and slice in half.
• Divide ramen between 4 bowls. Add broth. Top each with jalapeno, green onions, cilantro, and soft boiled egg. Serve immediately.
