Clams With Asian Noodles Food

ASIAN GARLIC NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook the noodles/pasta according to package instructions. If using fresh noodles, you may simply need to blanch them. (Reserve some of the pasta cooking water, as you may need it in the sauce later.)
• Meanwhile, heat the butter in a large skillet over medium heat and add the garlic. Cook for 5 minutes, until lightly caramelized, and stir in the turmeric (if using), oyster sauce, soy sauce, brown sugar, and sesame oil. Stir for 1 minute and add the scallions.
• After 30 seconds, to let the scallions wilt, toss in the cooked pasta and parmesan cheese. If the sauce is too thick, add a few tablespoons of the noodle cooking water to loosen them up. Serve!

SPICY ASIAN-STYLE NOODLES WITH CLAMS

Steps:

• Cook pasta in large pot of boiling salted water until just tender but still firm to bite, stirring occasionally; drain well. Return to same pot; toss with 1 tablespoon sesame oil. Divide pasta among shallow bowls; cover and keep warm.
• Heat remaining 1 tablespoon oil in same pot over medium-high heat. Add bell pepper, onion, garlic, ginger and dried red pepper. Sauté until bell pepper begins to soften, about 2 minutes. Add 1 cup water, vinegar and soy sauce and bring to boil. Add clams. Cover pot and cook until clams open, about 10 minutes (discard any clams that do not open).
• Spoon clams and sauce over pasta. Sprinkle with cilantro and serve.

PORK WITH CLAMS

Steps:

• Put pork in a dish, and add the wine, paprika, bay leaf, cloves, pepper, salt and 2 cloves of garlic. Cover and refrigerate overnight, turning occasionally.
• In a large saucepan, melt 2 tablespoons margarine. Saute onions, tomatoes and 5 cloves of garlic. Cook gently until onions are soft; add salt and pepper to taste.
• Wash the clams, discarding any that are open. Add them to the onion/tomato mixture. Cover, and cook over high heat until all clams have opened, about 5 minutes, then cook for another minute.
• Meanwhile, drain the pork; set marinade aside. Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons margarine in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook pork until brown on all sides. Stir in marinade, and cook until there is very little liquid left. Keep turning pork or it will stick and burn!
• Serve the pork, the clams in their shells, and the onion mixture with boiled potatoes. Sprinkle everything with coriander and parsley, and garnish with lemon quarters.
