ASIAN STIR FRIED SHRIMP AND RICE NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring about 6 cups of water to a boil in a saucepan. Place the rice noodles in a large bowl, pour the water over, use tongs or a fork to move the noodles about, stirring every minute or so, until they are quite pliable but not soft. Drain the noodles and rinse them with cold water.
• Meanwhile, in a container, combine the cornstarch in water with the broth, soy sauce, sherry, sugar, and chili garlic sauce. Cover, and shake to combine well.
• Heat the oil in a wok, and add the garlic, ginger, and shrimp. Stir fry for 2 minutes, until the shrimp are mostly pink on the outside, then add the soaked rice noodles and toss to combine. Pour in the sauce (shaking it once more right before pouring in), and toss the shrimp and noodles occasionally as the sauce comes to a simmer and thickens, and the shrimp are cooked, about 3 minutes.
• Serve hot, with chives on top.

GRILLED SHRIMP WITH RICE NOODLES

Steps:

• Preheat a grill to medium high; oil the grates. Bring a medium pot of water to a boil. Add the noodles and cook as the label directs. Drain and rinse under cold water. Toss the shrimp with 1 tablespoon curry paste and the vegetable oil. Let sit at room temperature, about 15 minutes.
• Meanwhile, whisk the remaining 1 tablespoon curry paste, the peanut butter, vinegar, ginger brine, 2 tablespoons water and a pinch of salt in a large bowl until smooth and thick. Add the cucumber, bell pepper, carrot, most of the cilantro, the ginger and a generous pinch of salt; toss well until the sauce loosens. Cut the noodles into shorter pieces with kitchen shears and add to the vegetables; season with salt and toss well.
• Grill the shrimp until just cooked through, 2 to 3 minutes per side. Serve on top of the noodle mixture. Top with the remaining cilantro.

SHRIMP WITH RICE STICK NOODLES AND VEGETABLES (WW)

Steps:

• In a small cup combine dressing ingredients (vinegar - sesame oil), whisking until smooth.
• In a large pot of boiling water cook noodles according to package directions (my package didn't have cooking directions, so I cooked them for 5 minutes), with a slotted spoon transfer noodles to a colander and drain (reserving cooking water in pot). Rinse under cold running water; drain well. Transfer to a large bowl.
• Return cooking water to a boil. Add shrimp and cook until opaque (3-5 minutes). Rinse under cold water; drain.
• Combine shrimp, dressing and the remaining ingredients with the noodles; toss to combine.
• This can be made ahead and refrigerated for up to 2 days.

SPICY MINCED SHRIMP WITH RICE NOODLES

Steps:

• Soak noodles in a large bowl of lukewarm water. Leave until softened but still firm, about 15 minutes. Drain and rinse well with cold water. Set aside. (Alternately, boil noodles for 2 or 3 minutes, then drain and rinse well with cold water.)
• Meanwhile, peel shrimp and make the seasoned shrimp mixture: With a large knife, cut the shrimp crosswise into rough 1/4- to 1/2-inch slices. In a large bowl, combine shrimp, chopped chiles, dried shrimp (if using), rice vinegar, soy sauce, 2 teaspoons sesame oil, mirin, garlic, ginger, salt and scallions. Mix well to distribute ingredients throughout. Refrigerate for at least 20 minutes (or, preferably, up to 24 hours).
• Put coconut oil in a large wok or wide cast-iron skillet over high heat. When oil looks wavy, add shrimp-sausage mixture, breaking it up with a wooden spoon, until it looks crumbly. Stir-fry until pieces are lightly browned, about 3 or 4 minutes.
• Add noodles to pan and toss briefly, just to heat through. Drizzle with 1 teaspoon sesame oil. Taste and add a little more salt if necessary. Transfer to bowls and garnish with basil leaves, cilantro sprigs, chopped peanuts and lime wedges, if using.

• Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti as directed on package until al dente. During the last 2 minutes of cooking, add shrimp. Drain noodle mixture and rinse with cold water, shaking out any excess. Add noodle mixture and vegetables to bowl with tamari dressing and toss. Top with sesame seeds.

RICE-STICK NOODLE SALAD WITH VIETNAMESE SHRIMP

• Halve cucumber lengthwise and seed. Cut cucumber halves and scallions crosswise into 2 1/2-inch pieces and cut pieces lengthwise into julienne strips.
• In a bowl soak noodles in hot water to cover 15 minutes to soften. While noodles are soaking, in a 6-quart kettle bring 3 1/2 quarts salted water to a boil. Drain noodles in colander and cook in boiling water 45 seconds, or until just tender. Drain noodles in colander and rinse under cold water to stop cooking. Drain noodles well and with scissors cut into 4-inch lengths.

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.
