Equipment
- microplane zester for the ginger and garlic
Ingredients
- 1 (1-pound) bag dry Chinese noodles
- 6 tablespoons neutral oil, divided
- 1¾ cup thinly sliced yellow onion
- 1½ tablespoons ginger pulp
- 1½ tablespoon garlic, minced
- 5 cups Napa Cabbage, washed and dried, thinly sliced
- 5 cups Gai Lan, washed and dried, thinly sliced
- ¾ pound boneless chicken breasts cut into bite-sized thin strips
- 2 tablespoons chili paste
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce or Tamari
- salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Prepare noodles. Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add the dry noodles. Immediately stir with a fork to be sure they don't stick together. Let them cook just until they're tender, about 9 minutes (or according to package instructions). Drain, add them back to the pot, and toss them with about a tablespoon of the oil. Set aside.
- Cook the vegetables. Coat the bottom of a large skillet with 2 tablespoons of the oil, and place it over medium heat. Add the onions, garlic and ginger. Cook, stirring periodically, until the onions are soft, about 7 minutes. Add the Gai Lan and cabbage and stir with kitchen tongs. Cook until all of the greens are completely wilted, about 5 minutes. Then add them to the pot with the noodles. Do not clean the skillet!
- Make the sauce and cook the chicken. In a small bowl, use a small whisk or a fork to blend the chili paste with the soy sauce (or Tamari) and the remaining oil. Drizzle about ¾ of this into the pot with the noodles and veggies, and the rest into the skillet. Turn the on to medium, add the chicken, sprinkle it with salt and pepper. Moving it around from time to time, sauté just until it's cooked through, about 5 minutes.
- Combine everything and season. Now add the cooked chicken to everything in the pot and mix gently to combine evenly. Season to taste with salt and pepper if necessary. Serve!
