Easy Asian Noodles - Serves 3 to 4
Another delicious meal on the table this evening, thanks to the hosts of 'Show Me The Yummy", Trevor and Jennifer. You can read through the original recipe and see all their photos of this meal here.
For the sauce:
1/4 cup soy sauce
1 teaspoon seasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons sesame oil
1 teaspoon sriracha
2 tablespoons brown sugar, packed
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
Red pepper flakes, to taste (they put in 1/2 teaspoon in their recipe)
2 cloves garlic, minced or pressed
Other ingredients:
1 (12 oz) box whole wheat linguine
3-4 eggs, over easy
Chopped cilantro (optional - for garnishing)
Chopped salted cashews (for garnishing)
To make the sauce, whisk together sauce ingredients until well combined.
Cook the linguine according to package directions and drain.
Cook the eggs*
In the large pot you cooked your pasta in, pour pasta back in with the sauce.
Put pasta on your plates and top with the fried egg, chopped cilantro and salted cashews.
Serve immediately.
Notes from original recipe:
*If you're not sure how to make an over easy egg, heat a medium sized skillet over medium heat. Melt about 1 tablespoon to 2 tablespoons butter. Once butter has melted and starts to bubble (just a bit) crack in egg (I work with 1 - 2 eggs at a time). Cook for about 2 minutes, flip and cook for another 2 minutes. Cooking time will vary depending on how runny you like your yolks. Season with a touch of salt.
What did we think? Every dish that I put on here is a keeper, and this one joins that list. It was another delicious meal.
I did make a few changes though. For a start my egg was poached. I just prefer it cooked this way. It's what I grew up with.
I didn't buy any linguine as I had one more box of Angel Hair Pasta. It saved us a trip to the supermarket on a rainy day.
You'll see in my photo that there are a lot more extras added than the original. I had veggies in the fridge that I wanted to use up and first we cooked the thinly sliced cabbage, sliced green onions, sliced celery, peas and Gregg threw in a can of sliced lotus shoots for good measure. We both loved the crunchiness of the vegetables.
I forgot about the cashews and the cilantro, that will be for next time.
And thank you Trevor and Jennifer for another wonderful meal added to our make-again folder.
Oh goodness this sounds delicious.
ReplyDeleteHi Terra, it was :)
DeleteGood for you. Poaching eggs is a lost art. I used to order them in restaurants, and finally gave up because cooks today don’t even know how to boil water!
ReplyDeleteThanks Linda :) Poached Eggs on Toast was a staple for breakfast in my family growing up. It's also a favorite breakfast for the two of us now, and we have started adding them on other meals like this one. I learned from a very early age, from my mother, how to poach an egg. Always grateful for her lessons :)
DeleteSeems good and tasty.
ReplyDeleteVery much so, thank you Margaret :)
DeleteI'm making this! I have the linguini already, and green onions. I wll leave out the cilantro & cashews, as I don't have or like them. This seems very versatile. I am off to print it.
ReplyDeleteWonderful! I am so happy you like this enough to make it. Easy to cater it to your own taste :) I like Thai basil and peanuts, or walnuts or pecans, and spinach leaves. Anything you like really. Thanks Ginny :)
DeleteGlad you liked it - and hooray for adding your own touches.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sue, it's a wonderful dish to suit it to your own taste :)
DeleteThe egg is perfectly poached!
ReplyDeleteWhy thank you Angie, such a nice compliment and my mother would be very pleased. Her lessons sunk in :)
DeleteHummm aspeto delicioso.
ReplyDeleteUm abraço e boa semana.

DeleteThis looks really delicious. Maybe when I can eat more foods I'll give this a try.
ReplyDeleteThat's great Ann, I hope you enjoy it when you do make it :)
DeleteHello Denise,
ReplyDeleteLooks delicious. Take care, enjoy your day and the week ahead.
Thank you Eileen and I wish you the same :)
Deletei prefer angel hair over lingquni and this is looking good from here
ReplyDeleteYes, angel hair is our favorite too :)
DeleteYour version sounds delicious. It reminds me of the Korean dish called Bi Bim Bap.
ReplyDeleteI would like to try to make Bi Bim Bap Gigi. We have ordered it in our local Korean restaurant but not for a long time now. It was delicious!
DeleteThe sauce looks good I like easy recipes
ReplyDeleteThanks Christine, easy recipes are the way to go for me lately :)
DeleteDenise, the Asian noodles look really good. Yes, cashews added would be even better. I was craving Chinese food, and got some take out the other day. Their chicken chow mien is delicious.
ReplyDeleteHave a good Summer week.

Hi Sheri, thank you. We get cravings sometimes. In fact, we are heading to our favorite Bahn Mi take out tomorrow :)
DeleteI imagine it could get a little spicy for me.
ReplyDeletePerhaps you could leave the sriracha and the red pepper flakes out William. It would still taste very good :) I'm not one for things that are too spicy.
DeleteSo pleased you enjoyed it.
ReplyDeleteWishing you a good week ahead.
All the best Jan
Thank you Jan and I hope your week is a good one too :) All the best!
