GINGER-LIME CHICKEN WITH RICE NOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400˚ F. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Stir the lime juice, fish sauce, soy sauce, sugar and ginger in a small bowl until the sugar is dissolved. Toss the chicken with 2 tablespoons of the sauce and the grated garlic; season with salt and pepper. Let marinate 10 minutes.
• Heat 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium-high heat. Pat the chicken dry. Add to the skillet and cook until browned, 3 minutes per side. Transfer the chicken to a baking sheet and bake until cooked through, 8 to 10 minutes. (Reserve the skillet.) Let the chicken rest 5 minutes, then slice.
• Meanwhile, add the noodles to the boiling water and cook as the label directs. Drain in a fine-mesh sieve and rinse under cold water. Shake off any excess water.
• Heat the remaining 2 tablespoons vegetable oil in the reserved skillet over medium-high heat. Add the snow peas, chopped garlic and a big pinch of salt. Cook, stirring, until the snow peas are bright green, 1 minute. Add the noodles and stir until hot, 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper; stir in half the cilantro.
• Divide the noodles and chicken among plates. Drizzle with the remaining sauce and top with the remaining cilantro.

CHICKEN WITH GINGER BEET NOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 450 degrees F. Fill a large pot with 1 inch of water and set a steamer basket inside; bring to a boil. Place the beet noodles in the steamer basket, cover and cook until tender but still holding their shape, 15 to 20 minutes. Transfer to a large bowl and set aside until ready to serve. Whisk 2 tablespoons rice vinegar, the soy sauce and half each of the ginger, garlic and serrano in a small bowl; set the dressing aside.
• Season the chicken on both sides with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons sesame oil in a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat. Add the chicken and cook until browned on both sides but not cooked through, about 6 minutes. Transfer the skillet to the oven and roast until cooked through, about 10 minutes. Transfer the chicken to a cutting board and let rest.
• Meanwhile, heat the remaining 2 tablespoons sesame oil in the same skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms; cook, stirring, until browned, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Add the remaining ginger, garlic and serrano and cook, stirring, until tender, about 1 minute. Deglaze the pan with the remaining 1 tablespoon vinegar and 3 tablespoons water.
• Toss the beet noodles with the ginger dressing; divide among plates and top with scallions and mint. Slice the chicken and add to the plates. Top with the mushroom mixture.

CARROT-GINGER AND CHICKEN NOODLES

Steps:

• Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until slightly softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add the carrots, 2 1/2 cups water, vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, curry powder and 1 teaspoon salt. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook until the carrots are tender, about 15 minutes. Let the mixture cool. Transfer the mixture to a blender and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil. Keep the sauce at room temperature.
• Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package directions. Drain, toss with some oil and cool to room temperature. Add the carrot-ginger sauce, chicken, scallions and some salt. Add some hot water to thin out the sauce if necessary. The noodles should be fairly loose and slippery, as the pasta will absorb much of the sauce once it is refrigerated. Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
