Ramen Noodle Peanut Stir-Fry

By jeff and alli -

 This was a hit with the family, except for Hazel (she didn't try it).  It serves 4-6.  You can make this with or without meat and feel free to change up the veggies.  You could easily add mushrooms, or edamame, or leave out the carrots...use what you enjoy.  The recipe suggested serving with soft-boiled eggs, which I did, but I didn't think it added much flavor wise, but it could help the meal be more filling.  This cooks on high heat and fast.  I think it is easiest to have everything prepped and organized so you can quickly go from one step to the next.  


Ingredients:


Stir-Fry Sauce

1/2 cup soy sauce

2 T honey

1 T miso paste / miso concentrate broth

3/4-1 inch fresh ginger, peeled and grated

1/2  T sriracha sauce (this depends on your interest in heat. adjust as you like)

Juice of 1 lime

1 teaspoon ground pepper

1/2 teaspoon ground cinnamon


Stir-Fry

10 ounce ramen noodles 

2 T vegetable oil

1 head broccoli, chopped in florets

1 red bell pepper sliced

1 orange bell pepper sliced

3 carrots shredded or diced

1 pound flank steak, thinly sliced (optional)

1 package firm tofu, cubed (optional)

1/2 cup roasted peanuts, chopped

1/4 cup chopped fresh cilantro

4 scallions, chopped


Directions:

1. Make the stir-fry sauce: In a medium bowl, whisk together all the stir-fry sauce ingredients and set aside.

2. Make the Stir-Fry: Bring a large pot of water to a boil over high heat.  Add ramen noodles and cook for 2-3 minutes.  Drain and set aside.

3. In a large wok or skillet, heat 1 T of oil over high heat.  When it shimmers, add the broccoli, peppers and carrots.  Cook until just tender and bright.  Add a few tablespoons of the sauce and cook, stirring a bit, until all your vegetables are coated.  Transfer to a plate.

4. Add remaining oil to the wok.  When it shimmers, add the steak (if using) and sear 2-3 minutes per side.  If using tofu instead, cook until it lightly browns and crisps the outside.  Add a few tablespoons of the sauce and cook until everything is covered.  

5. Add the chopped peanuts and toss with your meat or tofu.  Return veggies to the wok and add the cooked noodles as well.  Add the remaining stir-fry sauce and cilantro and scallions, and toss everything together.  Cook for 2-3 minutes more.

6. serve with cooked eggs if you like.


Enjoy!

Josh got me to try some lentil soup at Corner Bakery. I was nervous, because I have not liked lentils in the past, but in the past few years I have grown to love many things I hadn't previously. And I liked it! So I immediately went on the hunt for a "copy cat" recipe, and though I have no idea if this is in fact the same, all three of us enjoyed it!  Lentil Vegetable Soup 2/3 c green lentils 1/3 c orange lentils (you can really use whatever lentils you wants) 1 lg onion, roughly chopped 2-3 cloves garlic, chopped 1 lg tomato, chopped 1-2 carrots, diced 1/2 c mushrooms 1/2 bunch spinach or 2-3 big leaves of kale, chopped fine 1/4 c corn 2-4 c vegetable/chicken broth S&P to taste Combine and wash all lentils and set aside. In a pot, heat some olive oil and saute onions, carrots, and garlic till onions are translucent. Add the mushrooms, and some salt. Saute a few minutes until they get soft, then add the tomatoes. Cover and let t...

Easy Shepherd's Pie

1 lb. ground beef 2 cups hot mashed potatoes 1 cup KRAFT Shredded Cheddar Cheese 2 cloves garlic, minced 4 cups frozen mixed vegetables, thawed 1 cup beef gravy PREHEAT oven to 375ºF. Brown meat in large skillet. Meanwhile, mix potatoes, 1/2 cup of the shredded cheese and the garlic until well blended. DRAIN meat. Return to skillet; stir in vegetables and gravy. Spoon into 9-inch square baking dish; cover with potatoes and remaining 1/2 cup shredded cheese. BAKE 20 min. or until heated through. Many of you know Jon and I are picky eaters. This is one recipe we came across in the Krafts Food magazine when we were searching for meals we'd both like. I have never had Shepherd's Pie before, but I liked it. I especially like that it is pretty quick and easy. It tastes good as leftovers too. We haven't mixed the cheese into the potatoes because we didn't really feel like it or added garlic just because we didn't have any, but I'm sure it'd still taste good.
