Marcia Kiesel's modern version of this Chinese-American dish includes stir-fried egg noodles with chicken sausage, chiles, basil and an unexpected ingredient—orange juice. Ingredients:
5 tablespoons vegetable oil |
1 pound fresh plain chicken sausages, cut into 1/2-inch pieces |
4 cloves garlic, minced |
2 tablespoons minced ginger |
4 ounces snow peas, cut in half |
2 fresh, hot long red chiles seeded and thinly sliced |
1/3 cup fresh orange juice |
1/2 pound fresh or dried chinese egg noodles, cooked |
1 cup chicken stock mixed with 3 tablespoons of hoisin sauce and 2 teaspoons of cornstarch |
salt |
1/2 cup slivered basil leaves |
Directions:
1. In a wok, heat 2 tablespoons of the oil. Add the chicken sausage and stir-fry over high heat, breaking it up, until just cooked through, 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
2. Heat the remaining 3 tablespoons of oil in the wok. Add the garlic and ginger and stir-fry over moderately high heat until golden, 1 1/2 minutes. Off the heat, stir in the snow peas and chiles for 1 minute. Add the orange juice and stir over moderately high heat for 30 seconds. Add the sausage, noodles and stock mixture, season with salt and stir-fry until the sauce is thickened, about 2 minutes. Remove from the heat, stir in the basil and serve.
