Stir-Fried Noodles with Chicken, Ginger and Basil

Recipe adapted from Titus Wang, sous chef, Annisa, New York City

Yield: Serves 4


Cook Time: 20 minutes

  • INGREDIENTS

    • Yield: 4 servings

    1 pound cooked Chinese egg noodles (or cooked spaghetti)

    ¼ cup untoasted sesame oil

    One 2-inch piece fresh ginger--scraped, halved crosswise and each half sliced lengthwise into thin planks (8 to 10 pieces total)

    8 medium garlic cloves, peeled and left whole

    4 boneless, skinless chicken thighs sliced into 1-inch pieces

    2 red chiles (such as Fresno chiles), halved lengthwise

    ¾ cup Chinese rice wine (or dry sherry or dry sake)

    2 tablespoons soy sauce

    1 tablespoon granulated sugar

    5 scallions, trimmed and thinly sliced on a bias

    1 cup Thai basil leaves (or ⅔ cup mint leaves and ⅓ cup basil leaves), roughly torn if large

    Salt and freshly ground black pepper

DIRECTIONS

1. In a large pot of salted, boiling water, blanch the noodles for 15 to 30 seconds, just to loosen them. Drain and set aside.

2. Heat a large skillet over medium-high heat for 2 minutes. Add the sesame oil and ginger and cook until fragrant, stirring often, about 1 minute. Add the garlic and cook, stirring often, until both the ginger and garlic are golden, about 1 minute longer.

3. Stir in the chicken and cook, stirring often, until golden brown, 4 to 5 minutes. Add the chiles, rice wine, soy sauce and sugar and cook until the chicken is cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes longer.

4. Stir in the scallions and noodles and turn off the heat. Add the basil, toss to combine, season with salt and pepper and serve.
