JAPANESE PAN NOODLE RECIPES

Steps:

• In a mixing bowl, add the beef strips and dust with a little cornstarch.
• Heat about 1 tablespoon vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Flash fry the beef strips and remove quickly.
• To the wok, add the carrots, mushrooms and then broccoli. Stir fry 2-3 minutes and then remove.
• Add a little more oil, then saute the ginger and garlic. After a minute or so, add the well drained noodles and let caramelize.
• Add the red chili flakes. Add the sesame oil, teriyaki sauce and rice wine vinegar. Add all of the other ingredients and toss to coat well. Serve.

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.
