Spicy Confetti Noodles Recipes

THAI PEANUT NOODLES WITH CONFETTI

Steps:

• Whisk together the peanut sauce, 2 tablespoons water, the soy sauce, hot pepper flakes and lime juice in a large serving bowl. Set aside.
• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Stir in the noodles, edamame and bell peppers and cook according to the noodle package directions, or about 4 minutes. Drain the noodles and vegetables. Rinse under cold water to cool; drain well. Transfer to the bowl with the peanut sauce and toss to evenly combine.
• Top with the cilantro leaves and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Serve at room temperature topped with lime wedges for squeezing.

SPICY SINGAPORE NOODLES

Steps:

• Pour boiling water over the noodles in a bowl and leave for 4-5 mins until just starting to soften, or follow the pack instructions. Drain and leave in the sieve to steam-dry. Mix the ingredients for the sauce together and set aside.
• Put all your ingredients in bowls next to the hob ready to use. Heat a wok over a high heat with 1 tbsp of the oil. Add the chilli, garlic, coriander stalks and ginger, and stir-fry for a couple of mins. Add the carrot, spring onions and shredded cabbage, and stir-fry for about 5 mins, then move all of it to one side of the wok. Add the remaining oil and fry the beaten egg, moving it around to incorporate into the veg. Add the prawns and stir for a few seconds untilstarting to turn pink. Add the pork, stir-fry to heat through and combine, then add the noodles and sauce, followed by the beansprouts. Stir-fry until the prawns are cooked through, then serve topped with coriander leaves.

SPICY PAN-FRIED NOODLES

Steps:

• In a small bowl, combine the scallions, soy sauce, ginger, rice wine or vinegar, sesame oil and salt. Let stand while you prepare the noodles.
• In a large pot of boiling water, cook noodles until they are halfway done according to package instructions. (They should still be quite firm.) Drain well and toss with 1/2 tablespoon of the peanut oil to keep them from sticking, and spread them out on a plate or baking sheet.
• In a large skillet over medium-high heat, warm the remaining 2 tablespoons of peanut oil. Add the garlic and cook until crisp and golden around the edges, 1 to 2 minutes. Add half the scallion mixture and stir-fry until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add noodles; stir-fry until noodles are hot and lightly coated with sauce, about 30 seconds. Add eggs, spinach or edamame if using, sriracha, and remaining scallion mixture and continue to stir-fry until the eggs are cooked, 1 to 2 minutes longer. Remove from heat and stir in lime juice. Garnish with cilantro and sesame seeds or peanuts.
