VIETNAMESE GARLIC SHRIMP (PRAWN) NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• Combine the Garlic Shrimp ingredients in a small bowl and set aside for 10 minutes.
• Combine the Dressing ingredients in a small jar, give it a shake then set aside for 10 minutes.
• Heat a skillet / fry pan over high heat. Add the shrimp, scraping in the olive oil and garlic from the sides of the bowl. Cook for 2 minutes, or until browned and the shrimp is just cooked through. (Note 2)
• Remove the prawns from the skillet onto a plate.
• Prepare the vermicelli noodles according to the packet directions. I like to just soak them in hot tap water for a few minutes, this ensures they don't overcook. Then drain the noodles.
• Arrange the noodles and remaining Salad ingredients on a large plate (like the photo) or toss together in a bowl. Top with prawns (warm or at room temperature). Drizzle over the Dressing (or toss through), or you can serve the Dressing on the side.
• Serve immediately.

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!

VIETNAMESE NOODLES WITH LEMONGRASS CHICKEN

Steps:

• Combine Chicken and Marinade ingredients and set aside for at least 1 hour, up to 24 hours. (Note 4)
• Heat 1/2 tbsp oil in a fry pan over medium heat (or heat the BBQ). Remove chicken from marinade, shaking off large bits of lemongrass (small bits should fall off during cooking).
• Place chicken in the pan and cook each side until dark golden brown and chicken is just cooked through - about 6 to 8 minutes in total.
• Remove from pan, shaking off any remaining bits of visible lemongrass and set aside to rest for 5 minutes. Then slice into thin pieces.
• Combine the Nuoc Cham ingredients and mix well to dissolve the sugar. Adjust to your taste (spiciness, lime, sweetness) and set aside for at least 20 minutes.
• Soak the vermicelli noodles in hot water for 3 minutes (or according to packet instructions), then drain and rinse under cold water to stop the noodles from sticking together.
• Individual servings: Place noodles in bowl. Top with vegetables and herbs, and sliced chicken pieces. Drizzle with a few tablespoons of Nuoc Cham Sauce (be generous, ~ 4 tbsp per serving) and serve with lime wedges.
• DIY (my preferred way): Place chicken, vegetables, herbs, noodles and sauce in separate bowls / piled on platters. Then let everyone make their own bowls!

• Place secret sauce near the stove. Place garlic, butter, Parmesan cheese, and green onion in individual bowls within easy reach.
• Melt butter in a skillet over medium heat. Add garlic; cook and stir just until fragrant, about 1 minute. Quickly stir in the secret sauce and turn off the heat.
• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water, stirring occasionally, until tender yet slightly firm to the bite, about 12 minutes.
• Transfer spaghetti into the sauce using tongs, bringing some of the cooking water with it. Toss until well coated and stir in Parmesan cheese. Splash in more pasta water if noodles are too dry.

VIETNAMESE GARLIC NOODLES (LIKE THANH LONG)

Steps:

• Bring a small pot of water to boil over a stove. Add in fresh chow mein noodles and with a fork, gently stir the noodles until they separate. It should take about 2 minutes. Drain noodles and set aside. (If you are using another kind of noodles, always follow the cooking instructions on the package.)
• In a large sauce pan or wok, heat butter or oil. If using butter, heat the pan on low heat in order not to burn the butter. When the oil starts to shimmer or the butter has melted, add in minced garlic. When the garlic starts to brown and become fragrant, add in fish sauce, oyster sauce, sugar, and Maggi seasoning. Then add the noodles and stir for a minute to combine.
• Turn off heat and add parmesan cheese to the noodles. Stir well. Serve while hot.

VIETNAMESE NOODLE SALAD

Steps:

• A pinch of brown sugar goes in to a small deep bowl, mixed with the juice of a lime and a teaspoon each of fish sauce and mirin (sweet rice wine). Add in 2 teaspoons of vegetable oil (or any other plain oil), ½ a minced garlic clove and half a red chilli chopped small with the seeds in. Give this Asian broth a stir to mix and add in 3 shredded spring onions. Leave to sit for an hour or so.
• Put a portion of dried rice or glass noodles in a bowl of boiling water and leave to one side until soften.
• As the noodles soften, chop 150g of sweetheart cabbage fairly finely and shred a carrot with a vegetable peeler and slice a couple of radishes, rough chopped 10g of fresh mint and tear up 20g of coriander and a cooked chicken breast.
• When the noodles are softened drain and run through with cold water to cool them mostly, but a little warmth helps it take on flavour.
• Mix all of the ingredients together well to coat in the noodles, vegetables and chicken in the piquant-Asian liquor. It works best if you leave it to stand for at least 30 minutes. If you're leaving to stand longer (over might for example) then cover and pop it in the fridge and only add the mint and coriander before serving, amkkng sure it's room temperature.
• Apply to your face - preferably al fresco in a sunny park with crisp white wine on a lovely picnic.

GARLIC BUTTER NOODLES

Steps:

• Boil egg noodles in a pot until they are just cooked and still al dente. Drain and place the noodles in a large bowl.
• In a small saucepan, melt the butter over low heat. Add the garlic and cook until fragrant. Add in remaining ingredients, except cheese and scallions, and stir until combined. Turn off heat.
• Add the sauce to the noodles and toss. If using, add the Parmesan and scallions. Serve immediately.

GARLIC BUTTER NOODLES

Steps:

• Boil egg noodles in a pot until they are just cooked and still al dente. Drain out water and set noodles aside.
• In a small saucepan, add butter and heat on low heat until completely melted and it begins to bubble. Add garlic and gently stir, cooking a few minutes in the butter mixture until the aroma of the garlic is brought out (I stirred on low boiling heat for about 2-3 minutes). Careful to not let the garlic burn or brown. Add in remaining ingredients, except cheese, and stir until everything is thoroughly combined. Turn off heat.
• Transfer noodles to a large bowl. Pour in garlic sauce and toss noodles in sauce. If using, add in cheese and toss again. (As Reader Lorri in the comments pointed out, I don't actually recall Parmesan in the one I tried at the restaurant but several recipes I came across use it. It certainly doesn't hurt the recipe, but you can go either way and it still tastes good.) If desired, top with fresh chopped scallions. Serve immediately.
