Rainbow Peppers And Shrimp With Rice Noodles Food

RAINBOW PEPPERS AND SHRIMP WITH RICE NOODLES

Steps:

• Place the noodles in a large bowl and cover with warm water. Soak for at least 20 minutes until soft. Drain in a colander. With kitchen scissors, cut into 6-inch lengths. Set aside within reach of your wok or pan. Combine the broth, 2 teaspoons of the soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of the rice wine or sherry and sugar in a small bowl. Combine the garlic, 1 tablespoon of the ginger and the minced jalapeño in another bowl. Have all of your ingredients within reach of your wok or pan.
• In a medium bowl, combine the cornstarch, 1 teaspoon soy sauce, 1 tablespoon rice wine or sherry and 1 tablespoon of the ginger. Stir together well. Lightly salt the shrimp and toss with the cornstarch mixture until coated.
• Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or a 12-inch skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates from the surface within a second or two. Add the oil to the sides of the pan and tilt the pan to distribute. Add the garlic, ginger and jalapeño, and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds. Add the peppers and stir-fry for one minute. Add the shrimp along with any liquid in the bowl, and stir-fry for two to three minutes until pink and opaque. Add the scallions, drained noodles and the broth mixture, and stir-fry for one to two minutes until the noodles are just tender. Add the cilantro and stir-fry for another 30 seconds. Stir in the sesame oil, remove from the heat and serve, with more soy sauce if desired.

SHRIMP AND BELL PEPPER STIR FRY

Steps:

• In a bowl or measuring cup, mix together the soy sauce, cornstarch, sugar, rice wine vinegar, ginger and crushed red pepper flakes.
• Heat the oil in a large high-sided skillet or wok over high heat. Add the bell peppers and stir until browned, 1 to 2 minutes. Scoot the peppers to the edge of the pan, creating an opening in the center.
• Add the shrimp in a single layer to the center of the pan and cook until just beginning to turn pink, 1 to 2 minutes. Add three-quarters of your scallions (hold back the rest for garnishing at the end) and stir everything together.
• Add the kale and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes. Next, pour in the sauce and allow it to bubble and thicken in the pan while stirring, about 1 minute. The sauce should really cling to the shrimp and vegetables. Remove from the heat.
• Sprinkle everything with the cilantro and mint and stir to combine. Garnish with more red pepper flakes and the remaining scallions before serving.
