Chile Oil Noodles With Cilantro Recipes

CHILE-OIL NOODLES WITH CILANTRO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to boil and cook noodles according to package instructions, stirring from time to time to prevent them from sticking. Drain well in a colander, then run noodles under cold water until cooled.
• Meanwhile, in a large bowl, combine all three oils with the soy sauce and 1/2 cup garlic chives.
• Toss cooled noodles into the chile oil mixture. Gently fold in the crumbled fried shallots and chopped cilantro. Divide among four bowls, and top with more garlic chives and cilantro sprigs.

COLD NOODLES WITH CHILE OIL AND CITRUSY CABBAGE

Steps:

• Heat oil, fennel seed, pepper flakes, garlic, Sichuan peppercorns and star anise (if using) in a small pot over the lowest heat possible. Cook, swirling occasionally, until you start to hear and see the garlic and spices frizzle and toast in the oil, 5 to 8 minutes. (Every stove is different and sometimes the low isn't as low as we'd like, so keep an eye on things; it may take less time.) Keep cooking at the lowest heat setting until the spices are toasted and the garlic is golden brown, another 3 to 5 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
• Meanwhile, cook noodles in a large pot of salted water until al dente. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. (If not using right away, spread onto a rimmed baking sheet and toss with a little canola oil to prevent sticking.)
• If serving the citrusy cabbage, place cabbage in a large bowl and season with salt and pepper. Add citrus juice and zest, tossing to coat. Let sit a few minutes to soften. Drizzle with olive oil before serving.
• If serving the tahini sauce, whisk tahini, garlic, lemon juice, sesame oil and 1/4 cup water in a small bowl until a creamy dressing forms. (Tahini thickness varies greatly from brand to brand; if you need more water to achieve a smooth, creamy dressing, add it by the teaspoonful until you get the desired texture.) Add herbs and season with salt, pepper and more lemon juice, if desired. Alternatively, place all ingredients and 1/4 cup water in the bowl of a food processor and process until a smooth, creamy dressing forms.
• If serving the lemony scallions, combine scallions, olive oil, lemon juice, lemon zest and soy sauce in a small bowl; season with salt and pepper and let sit for at least 5 minutes before serving.
• When ready to eat, toss noodles with vinegar and season with salt and pepper. Spoon chile oil over the noodles, tossing to coat; keep adding the oil until your noodles are evenly coated. (Keep in mind you have other sauces for the noodles, so you're just looking for them to be coated and sufficiently spicy.) Serve any additional chile oil alongside for personal spooning, with the cabbage and other sauces if you like. See the notes for adding more spicy things and blanched or roasted vegetables.

GARLIC CHILI OIL NOODLES WITH CILANTRO

Steps:

• Fill a medium pot with water and bring to a boil. Add ½ tsp salt and noodles and stir. Cook them according to packaging instructions. Then, drain and transfer to a plate. Add sesame oil and toss to coat. Set aside.
• To a medium bowl, add soy sauce, chili powder, bouillon cube, garlic, ginger (optional), and spring onion. Mix until a paste has formed. If it appears too dry, add a little bit more soy sauce (but don't overdo it).
• Add a skillet over medium heat. Add the oil and heat until smoking hot. Once it starts to smoke, remove it from the heat and pour over the chili paste. Mix until well combined.
• Using the same skillet, add more oil if needed and cook the vegetables for 5-6 minutes, until lightly golden, but still crunchy.
• Add the noodles to the skillet, alongside the chili oil, and toss until well coated. Remove from the heat if you haven't already. Stir in the chopped cilantro and lime juice. Serve!
