Hoisin Noodles With Beef And Broccoli Recipes

HOISIN NOODLES WITH BEEF AND BROCCOLI

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add the broccoli and cook until crisp-tender, 2 minutes. Remove with a slotted spoon to a plate. Return the water to a boil and cook the noodles according to package directions.
• Meanwhile, cut the steak in half lengthwise. Cut crosswise into 1/4 inch slices. Mix the hoisin sauce, lime juice, chili-garlic paste, and cornstarch in a small bowl until smooth.
• Spray a large non-stick skillet (or wok) with nonstick spray and set over a medium-high heat. Add one-third of the beef and cook, stirring constantly, just until browned, 1-2 minutes. Transfer to a plate and repeat with the remaining beef.
• Add the bell pepper and onion to the skillet. Reduce the heat and cook, stirring constantly, until crisp-tender, 5 minutes. Add the ginger and cook, stirring constantly, until fragrant, 1 minute. Add the hoisin sauce mixture and cook, stirring frequently, until the sauce simmers, 1 minute. Add the beef and broccoli, cook, stirring frequently until heated through, 2 minutes.
• Drain the noodles. Rinse under cold water until cool and drain. Transfer 1 1/2 cups of the beef mixture and 2 cups of the noodles into separate containers and let cool. Cover and refrigerate up to 3 days for later use. Add the remaining 2 cups of noodles to the skillet and cook until heated through, 1 minute.

HOISIN SAUCE NOODLES WITH CHICKEN

Steps:

• Place the sesame seeds in a dry skillet over medium heat and toast until lightly browned, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove from the heat and set aside.
• Cook the chicken. In a medium skillet, bring the chicken stock to a simmer over medium-high heat. Submerge the chicken breasts in the stock, then reduce the heat to low and poach until the meat is completely cooked through and the internal temperature in the thickest part of the chicken breast registers 165 degrees F on a meat thermometer, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest for 5 to 10 minutes. Use a sharp knife to cut the meat into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Set aside. Let the chicken stock cool and reserve for another use.
• Make the pasta. In a medium pot, bring 4 quarts of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Line a sheet pan with a clean kitchen towel and set aside. Season the water with salt until it tastes like sea water. Plunge the pasta in the water and cook until cooked but still chewy ("al dente"), 4 to 6 minutes. Place a colander in the sink. Reserve a little pasta water, then drain the pasta thoroughly. Shake the colander a few times to remove excess water. Spread the pasta on the towel so it cools more quickly. Gently use a second towel to cover and pat the pasta dry. (Removing the excess moisture assures that the sauce will have a full flavor effect on the noodles.)
• Make the sauce. In a large bowl, combine the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, ginger, sesame oil, vinegar and hot sauce. Adjust the seasonings. Stir in half of the scallions. Set aside.
• Add the pasta to the sauce and toss to coat evenly. Add some of the reserved water if necessary. Transfer the pasta and sauce to a large serving bowl. Set aside.
• Arrange the chicken on top of the pasta. Top the pasta with the reserved sesame seeds and remaining scallions.

BEEF & BROCCOLI STIR-FRIED NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring a pot of water to a boil and season generously with salt. It should be as salty as the sea. Prepare an ice bath and season generously with salt. Add the broccoli florets to the boiling water and cook for 2 to 3 minutes until bright green and tender, but still slightly crisp. Remove the broccoli and immediately plunge into the ice bath and set aside, but reserve the boiling water for the noodles later.
• Heat 2 tablespoons of the canola oil in a large saute pan over medium-high heat until it shimmers. Season the steak with salt. Add the steak in batches to the pan and cook, turning occasionally, until brown and crispy, 2 to 3 minutes. Remove the steak from the pan and set aside. Repeat with remaining steak.
• To the same pan, add the remaining 2 tablespoons canola oil. Add the scallion whites, garlic, ginger, onions and rice wine vinegar. Saute for 1 to 2 minutes. Add the oyster sauce, chicken stock and chili paste and stir to combine.
• To the same pot of boiling water, add the noodles and cook according to package directions. Using tongs, remove the noodles and add directly into the saute pan with veggies. Add the broccoli florets and steak and toss to combine, ensuring the noodles, steak and broccoli are fully coated in the sauce. Mix in the broccoli stems. Plate and garnish with reserved scallion greens.

BROCCOLI IN HOISIN SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large skillet or wok, stir-fry the broccoli, garlic and ginger in oil for 2-3 minutes or until broccoli is crisp-tender. Add the water, hoisin sauce and salt. Cook and stir until sauce is thickened.
