A Favourite Rice Noodle Stir Fry to Make with No matter Inexperienced Veg you Have

For those who messaged me this week after I posted a badly lit photograph of an exceptionally tasty stir fry on Instagram, that is 100% for you!  It is the form of stir fry I pull collectively usually, a catch-all of issues needing for use up. You’ve got acquired silky rice noodles, vibrant and crunchy broccoli, toasted cashews, quick-marinated crumbled tofu, and pan-seared onions tossed in a feisty chile-boosted soy sauce. I added mushrooms the second time I made it (for these images), however you do not have to. I used broccoli, however you should use asparagus, shredded brussels sprouts or kale. I am going to discuss extra about that down beneath. I undoubtedly have a tendency to try this factor you are not imagined to do right here – overload the pan- but it surely’s the form of one-pan meal I really like. Take pleasure in!

A pair issues earlier than we get to the recipe. For those who make loads of stir fries, contemplate investing in a wok. The forged iron wok I purchased with Grace Younger from The Wok Store in San Francisco years in the past is considered one of my prized cooking vessels (that is the one). It is the sort Cantonese dwelling cooks swear by to impart the coveted style of wok hay. I am not saying I am there but, however I aspire. And if you do not have a wok, do not let it deter you – seize your largest skillet and use it to your stir fry.

A Few Stir Fry Variations

I’ll put most of this in headnotes of the recipe as nicely.

Inexperienced Greens: I’m scripting this recipe up utilizing broccoli because the inexperienced vegetable right here, however you could have numerous different choices. Use an equal quantity of asparagus (1 1/2-inch segments), or Four-5 huge handfuls of , chopped kale, pre-cooked artichoke hearts are honest sport, or peas, (or pea shoots!). You see the place I’m heading? That is all actually adaptable primarily based on what you could have available.

Make it a Little Creamy: A splash of coconut milk towards the top is sweet.

Citrus is Good: One in every of my favourite ending touches right here is to toss something citrusy in on the finish. I’ve a market lime tree on the patio, so I usually sliver a pair leaves razor skinny and add them on the finish. Lemon zest, Meyer lemon zest, and/or orange zest is equally welcome right here. Completely not needed, but it surely actually is a pleasant contact.

Boil versus Soaking the Noodles

I’m having you boil the noodles right here to get them simply the correct quantity of tender. It’s what I did to get dinner on the desk rapidly the opposite night time, and works nice. The frequent different is to soak them, however there’s such a variety of noodles on the market, and I’m positive you’ll all use fairly a variety of them, so I feel boiling them is the most secure guess for consistency throughout the board. Relying on the noodles, generally the soak method doesn’t work, and you find yourself boiling them anyway.

This is the photograph I posted taped in my recipe journal together with notes about make it after dinner the opposite night time. I do that once I need to keep in mind one thing I favored so I could make it once more in some unspecified time in the future. You possibly can see the dimensions of the noodles I used (left-hand web page), and I additionally like to go away “subsequent time” notes to myself (down within the nook) – methods to tweak, flavors or components so as to add or discover, and so forth. Take pleasure in!
