Sweet/spicy sofrito soy noods 🍯🌶️🍜 : What’s your go-to secret flavor weapon? Mine’s homemade #sofrito 🇵🇷💪🏼 –a blend of aromatics including onion, peppers, garlic, and fresh herbs. I ALWAYS have some pre-made in my freezer to elevate my meals, especially when I don’t feel like chopping and dirtying my cutting board.😅 I’ve been very busy lately so have resorted to quick, easy meals using pre-made and/or leftover ingredients from my fridge and freezer. This one was ready in about 20 minutes. I taste and adjust as I go, so the measurements for the ingredients are estimates. Feel free to swap them based on what you have at home–like the noodles (use any!) or the veggies. : Ingredients: 2-3 tablespoons oil (ghee, coconut oil, or olive oil) 1/2 cup Sofrito 1 tablespoon grated ginger 1/4 cup tamari or soy sauce (I used @momofukugoods ) 1-2 tablespoons chili crunch hot honey @momofukugoods (or 1/2 tsp. Chili flakes + 2 tbsp honey) 1/2 cup frozen veggies (I used peas) 1/2 pound noodles (I used spaghetti) 1 cup diced pre-cooked meat (like chicken or steak) 2 tablespoons fresh herbs (like cilantro or scallions) Bring a large pot of water to a boil and add your noodles. While the noodles cook, bring a large pan to medium heat. Add the oil, sofrito, ginger, and sauté it for 2 to 4 minutes or until it’s aromatic. Add the tamari, honey, frozen veggies, and turn down to low. As soon as the noodles are almost ready, and still al dente, add them into the pan and toss them until they’re well coated. Taste them and add more tamari for saltiness and hot honey for sweetness, if necessary. Toss them again. If you’re adding protein, add it now and toss until everything is well coated. Add hot pasta water, 1/4 cup at a time, if necessary, to get it saucy. Serve and sprinkle with fresh herbs if you have them. : #PuertoRico #PuertoRican #Sabor #Sazon #Boricua #Flavor #ChefLife #PrivateChef #NYC #Chef #WeeknightDinner #WeeknightMeal #FridgeCleanout #Noodles #Noods #Lunch #Dinner @eastforkpottery
