Snappy Noodles

Frozen cod... Rice noodles... Snap peas... Carrots...
See the end result yet? I was at the grocer yesterday, and picked up some GF Teriyaki sauce, Soy sauce and Garlic Red Chili sauce. We had cod in the freezer. The grocer had beautiful sugar snap peas, ginger, and carrots. This is what I did:

Snappy Noodles

Put water on to boil and add rice noodles (medium or linguini width) - cook according to package directions, drain.

Meanwhile

1 cup of carrots, julienned
1 cup of sugar snap peas, de-stringed and cut on bias
1 small red onion, diced
1 inch ginger, minced
3 cloves of garlic, minced

Heat 2-3 Tbsp peanut (or any high-smoking point oil) over medium high heat. Add all vegetables and stir fry until tender crisp. Add cooked, drained noodles, and

2 Tbsp teriyaki sauce (I use La Choy brand because it's gluten free)
1 Tbsp soy sauce
1 Tbsp chili garlic sauce
1 tsp sesame oil
(adjust any of these to your taste)

Toss gently to coat all the noodles and veggies with the seasonings. This was a delicious meal that took little time to prepare. I can see all sorts of adaptations to this recipe just by changing the veggies, adding a protein, etc. This makes a terrific side dish, but certainly can stand alone.

As for the cod - season with Old Bay or teriyaki sauce, place gently in an oiled skillet over medium heat. Cook both sides 3-5 minutes depending on the thickness of you steaks. Serve along side snappy noodles, and a wedge of lemon.

Ciao! ~ky
