Stir Fried Soba Noodles With Long Beans Eggs And Cherry Tomatoes Recipes

STIR-FRIED SOBA NOODLES WITH LONG BEANS, EGGS AND CHERRY TOMATOES

Steps:

• First cook the soba noodles. Bring 3 or 4 quarts of water to a boil in a large pot. Add salt to taste. Add the noodles gradually, so that the water remains at a boil, and stir once with a long-handled spoon or pasta fork so that they don't stick together. Wait for the water to come back up to a rolling boil - it will bubble up, so don't fill the pot all the way - and add 1 cup of cold water. Allow the water to come back to a rolling boil, and add another cup of cold water. Allow the water to come to a boil one more time, and add a third cup of water. When the water comes to a boil again, the noodles should be cooked through. Drain and toss with the sesame oil in a bowl and set aside.
• Mix together the stock, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and sugar in a small bowl. Mix the minced chiles, garlic and ginger in another bowl. Place all of the ingredients within reach of your wok.
• Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Meanwhile beat 1 of the eggs in a bowl and add salt to taste. Swirl 1 teaspoon of the oil into the wok and add the egg, using a rubber spatula to scrape out every last bit. Tilt the wok to spread the egg into a pancake and cook until set, 30 seconds to a minute. Using a metal spatula, flip over and cook for about 5 seconds, then transfer to a cutting board. Cut into 2-inch long by 1/4-inch wide slices. Repeat with the other egg.
• Add the remaining oil to the wok, swirl the pan, then add the garlic, ginger and chile and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add the long beans and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the tomatoes and stir-fry for 2 minutes, or until they collapse a little in the wok. Add the noodles, the stock mixture, and salt to taste, turn the heat down to medium and stir-fry for about a minute, until the liquid has evaporated. Sprinkle with pepper, add the eggs and cilantro, stir-fry to heat through, and serve.

STIR-FRIED SOBA NOODLES WITH BEEF AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Using a sharp knife, cut the beef across the grain into thin slices, then cut the slices into matchsticks.
• In a bowl, whisk together the sesame oil, soy sauce, 1/4 cup peanut oil, and ginger.
• Add the beef and stir to coat evenly.
• Cover and refrigerate, stirring occasionally, for at least 1 hour or up to 3 hours.
• Bring a large pot of water to a rapid boil.
• Add 2 tbsp salt and the noodles to the boiling water, stir well and cook, stirring occasionally, until just tender, 5-7 minutes; drain the noodles.
• Meanwhile, in a wok or large fry pan, heat 1 tbsp peanut oil over med-high heat.
• Add the garlic and green onions and stir fry until lightly colored, about 1 minute.
• Increase heat to high, add the beef and its marinade, and stir fry until lightly browned, about 8 minutes.
• Add the cabbage and 1 1/2 cups of the broth and toss to combine.
• Cover, decrease heat to med-high and cook until the cabbage wilts, about 4 minutes.

• Add the cornstarch mixture to the pan, and stir and toss to incorporate.
• Add the snow peas, stir and toss to combine, cover, and cook until just tender, about 2 minutes.
• Take care not to overcook; the snow peas and cabbage should remain crisp.
