Hi Steemians! Here's my entry for the SteemitCulinaryChallenge. Theme : Battle of Noodles
As requested by @ace108 I made the noodles from scratch and since I do not have a pasta machine, I did as I could ;) It's a first for me..
I found a recipe for the noodles here Youtube - Nouilles Fr
You'll need for the noodles:
- An egg
- 300g Wheat flour
- 12cl water
- Mix the egg in the flour by hand and add the water gradually
- Mix until it becomes smooth
- Use a pastry roller to flatten
- As finely as possible
- I used a knife to cut the noodles
- As you can see in the picture above I put them in a bowl. Don't do that! I have to do it again because the noodles have stuck together.
- Use a plate or something to hang them separately..
- Noddles are ok so prepare the chicken
I found a recipe on Marmiton a french website but I don't have all ingredients. I take the basics and adapt with what I have here ;)
You'll need:
- Chicken
- Onion - Parsley
- Coriander - Red pepper
- 5 Chinese spices - Ginger
- Soya sauce
- Olive oil
- "Julienne" salad
- Sugar
- Chop the onion as finely as possible (I use a half)
- Cut chicken pieces
- Add onion and all spices + 2 tablespoons olive oil and 4 tablespoons of soya sauce
- Mix, cover and wait 2 hours minimum
- Afterwards I add a little red pepper and ginger
- Cook the Julienne into hot water and then let cool
- Do the same with the noodles cook them in hot water for 4 minutes max and let them cool
- Cook the chicken in a pan with oil
- When it's cooked add the julienne and the noodles
- Don't stop turning with your spoon and "shake" your pan ;)
- Just before removing from the heat add 4 tablespoons of soya sauce again and 2 teaspoons of sugar
- Put in a plate
Enjoy!
It was a rather difficult recipe but it was worth it, the spices gave a taste of gingerbread. This is the first time I cook oriental but not the last.
