Egg Noodle Stir-Fry with Broccoli

By jeknudson

The red chiles add vibrant color and deep, fruity heat. If you can't find them, substitute 1/4 cup thinly sliced Fresno peppers (which are much milder). Look for very young ginger; it will have thinner skin and a less fibrous interior.

Ingredients

• 2 tablespoons dark sesame oil, divided
• 1 (3.5-ounce) package shiitake mushrooms
• 1/2 cup diagonally cut carrot (about 2 ounces)
• 4 Thai red chile peppers, halved
• 3 garlic cloves, minced
• 1 (1-inch) piece fresh ginger, thinly sliced
• 2 cups chicken stock (reserved from Dinner 3)
• 2 1/2 tablespoons lower-sodium soy sauce
• 2 teaspoons honey
• 7 ounces broccoli florets (about 3 cups)
• 4 baby bok choy, quartered (about 10 ounces)
• 1 (16-ounce) package refrigerated cooked Chinese egg noodles (such as Twin Marquis)
• 2 teaspoons canola oil
• 4 large eggs
• 1 tablespoon rice vinegar

Preparation

Step 1

1. Heat a medium saucepan over medium-high heat. Add 1 tablespoon sesame oil to pan; swirl to coat. Thinly slice mushroom caps. Add mushrooms and carrot to pan; sauté 5 minutes or until tender. Add peppers, garlic, and ginger; cook 30 seconds, stirring constantly. Add stock; bring to a boil, scraping pan to loosen browned bits. Cover and simmer 10 minutes. Remove from heat; stir in soy sauce and honey. Keep warm.

2. Heat a wok or large skillet over high heat. Add remaining 1 tablespoon sesame oil to pan; swirl to coat. Add broccoli; stir-fry 3 minutes. Add bok choy; stir-fry 1 minute.

3. Place noodles in a colander; rinse under hot water to separate noodles. Drain; divide noodles evenly among 4 bowls. Top evenly with broccoli, bok choy, and stock mixture.

4. Heat a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add canola oil to pan; swirl to coat. Crack eggs into pan; cook 4 minutes or until whites are just set. Top each bowl with 1 egg. Drizzle servings evenly with rice vinegar.
