Friday Food: Dragon Noodles
This spicy noodle recipe is especially dedicated to Becky.
Dragon Noodles
Serves 2-3 as a main course, 4-6 as a side dish
1/4 cup sesame oil (you can use vegetable oil if you must, but sesame tastes better)
1 tsp red pepper flakes
1 tsp chili powder
1/4 tsp powdered ginger
1 1/2 Tbsp lemon juice
2 1/2 Tbsp Japanese rice vinegar (or white vinegar in a pinch)
2 1/2 Tbsp soy sauce
2 1/2 Tbsp sugar
1 tsp grated lemon rind (optional)
2 Tbsp toasted sesame seeds
1/2 cup thinly sliced green onion
1/2 lb somen noodles or angel hair pasta, cooked al dente and drained
Directions:
- In a small bowl, whisk together the oil, red pepper, chili, ginger, lemon juice, vinegar, soy sauce, and sugar.
- Place the cooked, drained noodles into a large bowl and pour some of the sauce on them. Toss the noodles with your fingers to separate them and coat them in the sauce. Let the noodles sit for ten minutes.
- Taste the noodles. If they seem too dry, add more sauce and toss again.
- Add the lemon rind, sesame seeds, and green onions. Toss well.
- The noodles can be refrigerated, tightly sealed, for up to a day.
* To make this meal more substantial, grill some chicken with lemon pepper, chop it up, and serve on top of the noodles.
