Thursday, Sept. 2, 2010 - Thai Chicken and Noodle Salad

Recipe: http://www.marthastewart.com/recipe/thai-chicken-and-noodle-salad?backto=true&backtourl=/photogallery/quick-chicken-recipes#slide_7

INGREDIENTS

Serves 4.

  • 1 1/4 pounds boneless, skinless chicken breasts, thinly sliced crosswise
  • Spicy Asian Dressing
  • Coarse salt
  • 3 1/2 ounces Chinese rice noodles, broken in half if long
  • 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, such as safflower
  • 2 carrots, sliced into ribbons with a vegetable peeler
  • 1 English cucumber, halved lengthwise and thinly sliced crosswise
  • 1/4 cup fresh basil, torn
  • Bean sprouts, chopped peanuts, fresh mint leaves, red-pepper flakes, and sliced scallion greens, for garnish (optional)

DIRECTIONS

  1. Place chicken and half of dressing in a resealable plastic bag (reserve remaining dressing). Marinate at room temperature for 30 minutes (or refrigerate up to overnight).
  2. In a large pot of boiling salted water, cook noodles until tender. Drain, and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking. Transfer to a platter.
  3. In a large skillet, heat oil over medium-high. Working in batches, cook chicken (do not crowd skillet) until cooked through, 1 to 2 minutes; transfer to platter on top of noodles.
  4. Top with carrots, cucumber, and basil. Drizzle with reserved dressing, and sprinkle with garnishes, if desired.


Changes: Just used a sesame ginger salad dressing inside of making the dressing.

I honestly cannot remember if it tasted good because I was so busy talking. The noodles were kind of weird and it needed more dressing though.

Update: made this again with pork tenderloin and rice. Darren didn't like, so it's out...
