Top Noodle Stir Fry Recipes

Our Top 15 Noodle Stir Fry Recipes

You had me at noodles. Seriously, from sweet to savory, served hot or cold, as a salad, soup, stir-fry or just sauced up and on their own, noodles are anything but ordinary.  While Italian pasta uses durum wheat, there is an insane variety of different starches used in Asian noodles and as a result, so much variety in the styles, textures, colors, and flavors.  And that's before we even add a sauce.  These are our favorite take-out worthy noodle stir fry recipes you simply must try.

1. Korean BBQ Beef and Noodle Stir Fry

A sticky shiny Korean glazed brown rice noodle stir-fry full of vegetables and Korean BBQ beef.  Soy sauce forward, but with the sweetness and spice from Gochujang you'd expect from a Korean noodle sauce.

Korean Beef and Noodle Stir Fry


2. Pad Thai-Style Noodles with Coconut Peanut Sauce


One of everyone's top three noodle dishes.  Not all peanut sauces are created equally.  You need a sauce bursting with lime to hit the high notes of a traditionally tamarind based sauce and our Cambodian Coconut Peanut Sauce delivers that distinct balance of flavors.

pad Thai style noodles with peanut sauce

3. Vietnamese Pork Noodle Salad

I love the separation of ingredients in a Vietnamese salad using Vermicelli noodles with sides of sliced cucumber and carrots in each their own composed area of the bowl.  Sure you can mix it all together, but experiencing each ingredient alone with an extra side of our Vietnamese Mint Lime and Chili Dressing for dipping is delicious.  This Vietnamese Pork Noodle salad so light and fresh, just says summer.

4. 
Soba Noodle Salad with Japanese Sesame Miso Dressing

Made with buckwheat soba noodles with all the nutritional benefits you would expect from a whole grain noodle, dressed with our umami rich Japanese Sesame Miso Dressing, and a bit of sliced avocado, this noodle salad is almost as simple to make as boiling water.  Literally.

13.  Mie Goreng Noodles with Chili Sambal

The Very Best Sauces For Dipping

What are the very best sauces for dipping?  Well that all depends on what is being dipped.

So, if you like me, have been caught dipping every leftover piece of burger, French fry, chicken finger or pizza crust in the plethora of sauces out of your fridge door, than you know there are a lot of dipping sauces to choose from.  Will I pick hot sauce today?  A creamy dressing....maybe hot sauce mixed in the dressing, a spicy sharp mustard, a sweet and spicy Asian sweet chili sauce, barbecue sauce?  Maybe I will pick D.  All The Above.

Out of all the sauces we choose to dip with, these are our favorites; the very best sauces for dipping.  Hold on, there are a lot.


1. Ketchup - Spicy Tomato Kasundi Sauce

Before any of us knew dipping was a thing, there was ketchup.  They say you can't improve on perfect, but with our Spicy Tomato Kasundi BBQ sauce, I'd say we came pretty close.  It has all the qualities you'd expect from a great dipping sauce and so much more.  With layers of flavor from spices like cumin, mustard, smoked chili and garlic, our Spicy Tomato Kasundi Sauce is tangy, sweet, smoky and spicy and is a cross between a tomato ketchup and a smoky barbecue sauce.  Combine this sauce with mayo for a minute ready Yum Yum Sauce for dipping hibachi grilled steak, shrimp, chicken and vegetables or combine with horseradish for a killer cocktail sauce.

Dip fries and baked potatoes, sausages, sliders, shrimp cocktail, kebabs, wings, grilled cheese toasties, chicken fingers, mozzarella sticks.... mix with mayonnaise for a remoulade  sauce for crab cakes, fried shrimp, oysters and vegetables.  Its versatile, you get the idea.

2. Sweet Chili Sauce - Sweet Chili Orange Sesame Sauce

The gateway sauce to dipping.  Our Sweet Chili Orange Sesame Sauce is more than just your usual sweet and spicy sweet chili sauce.  With layers of fresh citrus, savory umami undertones from organic tamari and a toasty sesame finish, this will be your new favorite sweet chili sauce for dipping.

Use this sauce to dip all your favorites from fried shrimp, grilled and cold seafood to rice paper rolls, egg rolls, dumplings, wontons, spring rolls, potstickers, crab cakes, Thai fish cakes, potato wedges with sour cream, grilled meats, kebabs and wings.

3. Tsuyu - Ginger Soy Infusion Sauce

What is the dipping sauce that comes with Japanese tempura? Its Tsuyu, a light dashi forward blend of soy sauce, rice wine, sweetened with mirin. A Japanese dipping sauce staple and the inspiration behind our umami rich, award winning Ginger Soy Infusion Sauce.  The ultimate gyoza (potsticker) and wonton sauce.  A wonderful dipping sauce for vegetables, tofu, noodles, and rice paper rolls.  A fantastic marinade and dipping sauce for wings, lettuce wraps, sushi, tempura, grilled kebabs like Yakitori and Kushiyaki (chicken, salmon, and beef) and so much more.

Pictured Below:  Potstickers with Ginger Soy Infusion Dipping Sauce



4. Salsa Verde - Kiwi Lime Salsa Verde


Not just for corn chips!  Not many store bought salsa verdé's taste as if they're freshly made but our Kiwi Lime Salsa Verde delivers superb fresh flavor that is full of tang and spice thanks to fresh fire-roasted kiwi, tomatillo, jalapeño peppers, fresh lime juice and loads of fresh cilantro. 

Wonderful for dipping all your favorite Mexican appetizers like quesadillas, flautas, tamales and taquitos and delicious when used to make Salsa Verde Guacamole and Queso Verde. Reaching beyond your traditional Mexican faire, this salsa verdé can be crossed over to other cuisines including Indian, Middle Eastern and Caribbean and can be used for dipping samosa, pakoras, falafel, grilled meats, vegetables, seafood, koftas, poppadom, roti and naan breads.

5. Miso Sauce - Japanese Sesame Miso Dipping Sauce and Dressing

A versatile Japanese miso sauce is a staple that is packed with umami flavor.  Our Japanese Sesame Miso Sauce is light, creamy and nutty, it's full of savory notes with fresh ginger and garlic and makes a great dressing, marinade, glaze and dipping sauce.

Use our Japanese Sesame Miso Sauce to dip shrimp, salmon, rice paper rolls, sushi, lettuce wraps, grilled skewers like Yakitori and Kushiyaki, chicken schnitzel and roasted veggies.  You can also make an Asian inspired aioli dipping sauce by mixing our Japanese Sesame Miso with mayonnaise. 

6.  Chutney - Spicy Summer Mango Chutney

Chutney originated from India and is essentially a relish or sauce made with a combination of fruits or vegetables, herbs, vinegar and spices.  It can be a sauce that is raw or cooked, it can be sweet, spiced and savory or vinegary and herbaceous.  Varieties include dried fruit chutney, tomato chutney, date chutney, pineapple chutney, fresh cilantro or mint chutney and of course your classic Major Grey's or mango chutney.  A great chutney has so many uses and dipping is one of our favorite ways to use a chutney. We love to use our Spicy Summer Mango Chutney as a dipping sauce.  Its tangy, fresh, summery and spicy.  We think a mango chutney should be a staple in everyone's refrigerator right up there with ketchup, mayo and hot sauce.  

Mango Chutney is a traditional accompaniment for dipping samosa, pakoras, naan and poppadoms.   It's also delicious with coconut shrimp, rice paper rolls, seafood, crab cakes and fish cakes, grilled chicken, kebabs and wings.  Mix mango chutney with cream cheese for a creamy mango dip for crackers, lavosh and crostini.

7.  Satay Sauce - Cambodian Coconut Peanut Sauce

Although satay actually refers to grilled meat on a skewer, the accompanying peanut sauce for dipping has adopted the name "satay" as well.  Our satay sauce, Cambodian Coconut Peanut Sauce, is a dippers dream sauce.  Bursting with lime to cut the richness off the creamy peanut and coconut cream and a well rounded heat from curry paste and chili makes this peanut sauce a great cooking sauce over all, and perfect for dipping.

Use peanut sauce to dip beef or chicken satay, spring rolls, rice paper rolls, shrimp, tofu, wings, noodles, rice cakes, fish cakes, lettuce wraps, crudités and vegetables.

Beet Balsamic Yogurt Dressing

There you have it, some quick and easy recipes for fruit vinegar salad dressings.  As you can see a vinaigrette can be made however you like - simply by adjusting the ratios of vinegar vs oil vs spices to get the desired vinaigrette of your liking.  Want a vinaigrette that has more tang?  Add an extra splash of vinegar or lemon juice or decrease the amount of oil in the recipe.  Want it a bit sweeter?  Add a little extra fruit vinegar or a dash of sugar or honey.  Want it more complex?  Add some additional fresh herbs such as Rosemary, Thyme or Oregano or add extra Dijon mustard, fresh garlic or chopped shallots.  Want it creamy?  Add a little mayonnaise, sour cream or yogurt.  Don't want oil in your dressing?  Use the fruit vinegars on their own - no mixing with oil is required and if you want to add a little extra zing (if you like your dressings extra tangy) just add an extra splash of traditional vinegar (balsamic, white wine, red wine, apple cider, or white to your recipe).  Adjust the recipes to suit your taste and dietary preferences.   

One thing to keep in mind when you making a vinaigrette is your base ingredients.  If you are using a fruit vinegar, you will not need as much oil because the fruit vinegar is not as sharp and acidic as for example fresh lemon juice or a traditional vinegar in your recipe.  Less oil allows the fruit vinegar flavors to come through.  I always add an extra splash of an acidic ingredient to my fruit vinegar vinaigrettes because I like to have that mild complex fruit flavor in my dressings but I also like a bright tang.  Also, a strong olive oil that is very grassy or bitter in flavor can change the outcome of your vinaigrette so be mindful of your oil choice and flavor.  If you have a stronger olive oil, you may want to use less of it or substitute a different oil such as avocado oil.  Citrus and traditional vinegars tend to pair better with a stronger olive oil because they can cut the oil with their acidity.   Fruit vinegars such as strawberry, cranberry or blueberry vinegar tend to pair better with a more neutral or light olive oil and usually will use less oil in the recipe allowing the fruit flavor to really shine through.

The Best Marinades and Sauces for Braising and Stews

The Best Marinades and Sauces for Braising and Stews

When we think of braising our thoughts jump to a large cut of meat slowly simmered over many hours like a brisket or pot roast.  Nothing says home cooking like the smell of a home full of the rich aromas of a slow braised meal.  Braising can be stove top, oven or crock pot, with large cuts or smaller portioned pieces, on the bone or boneless, with lots of liquid or only a little.  It is a great method to make cheaper cuts deliciously tender and to impart depth of flavor into proteins like chicken.  Regardless of whether you are braising for a day, or an hour, we've selected our favorite marinades, condiments and sauces to be used to enhance the braising of stews, pot roasts, curries and tajines or to serve as finishing sauces and condiments for all types of braised lamb, pork, beef or chicken dishes.


1.  Chermoula Sauce and Marinade For Braised Lamb and Tagines

Our North African Chermoula can be used as a marinade, as a finishing sauce or added to the braising liquid of the dish.  It's the perfect accompaniment for slow braised lamb shanks as it cuts the richness with a little bold citrus.  Chermoula's bold lemon zing and kiss of Moroccan spice is as at home on lamb as it is on braised chicken, beef and seafood.  If you don't have lamb shanks, try this slow cooked Moroccan lamb tagine with apricot and almonds.

Pictured Below:  Chermoula Moroccan Lamb Tagine with Apricots and Almonds

2.  Sichuan Chili Garlic Dan Dan Sauce For Beef Short Ribs 


Beef short ribs marinated and braised in a spicy Sichuan Chili Garlic Dan Dan Sauce adds an aromatic spicy umami rich flavor profile to the beef.  You can add the braised beef to a Sichuan seasoned beef broth and the result is a pho style soup that is incredibly bold, rich, spicy, light and easy!

3.  Sticky Date and Candied Orange Chutney For Braised Chicken
 

This date and orange chutney can be added to your braising liquids for a wonderful accompaniment for bone-in chicken braising.  Chicken Marbella is a favorite quick braise recipe of ours where chicken pieces are marinated and braised in a combination of vinegar, green olives and our Sticky Date Candied Orange Chutney and white wine.  This recipe is ready in a little over an hour and it's a delicious, quick set it and forget meal that is great for a crowd.

4.  Triple Ale Onion Jam For Braised Beef and Pork

Our Triple Ale Onion Jam can be used to make a delicious Beef Carbonnade and cuts out hours of cooking time.  Beef Carbonnade is a Belgium beef onion beer stew made with slow braised chuck steak with plenty of onions and Belgian Ale cooked for 4 hours.  We've already braised our onions for 4 hours and finished with three artisan ales, so you can get a full flavored onion sauce in a fraction of the time.  You can also use our Triple Ale Onion Jam as a braising sauce for chicken or pork tenderloins with apples.

Pictured Below:  Pork Tenderloin Braised with Apples and Onion Jam

5.  Ginger Soy Infusion Sauce For Beef 

Use our Ginger Soy Sauce for braising pot roast favorites like bottom round or chuck, the resulting juices make for a bold beef broth to serve along with noodles and shitake.  Beef caramelized and braised with our umami rich Ginger Soy Sauce gives depth of flavor, while still being light and brothy.

6.  Moroccan Tomato Onion Sauce For Braised Veal Shanks 

A Moroccan twist on the Italian Osso Buco classic - Veal shanks slowly braised in our Moroccan Tomato Sauce with chopped celery and carrots and finished with a parsley Chermoula sauce instead of the traditional gremolata.   Some say you can't improve on a classic, but trying sure can be delicious.

7.  Middle Eastern Shawarma Marinade For Braising Lamb and Chicken 

Shawarma marinated and braised leg of lamb is so easy and oh so delicious.  Layers of warm Middle Eastern spices and a little citrus from preserved lemons and fresh orange juice make up this delicious sauce.  Marinate your lamb (you can also substitute chicken thighs) in the shawarma sauce with a combination of orange juice and water for the braising liquid and you've got something very special.  Serve shawarma braised lamb or chicken with flatbreads, salad and yogurt sauces or over couscous, chickpeas or rice.

8.  Southern Style Rustic Mustard For Braised Corned Beef and Chicken

Slowly braise corned beef in our Southern Style Rustic Mustard with onions and finish it off with a whisky mustard glazing sauce made by combining our Southern Style Rustic Mustard with a little brown sugar and Irish whiskey.  Spoon the mustard glaze over the corned beef in the last few minutes of cooking time.  Creamy mustard braised chicken is also a delicious and easy weeknight meal that can be served over mashed potatoes with green beans.

9.  Balsamic Fig Mostarda For Brisket or Short Ribs

Brisket braised or short ribs in red wine and our Balsamic Fig Mostarda results in a rich jammy braising sauce that can be also be used to make a finishing sauce.  Once the brisket has finished braising, the juices are reduced on the stove top with a splash of balsamic vinegar to cut and brighten the sauce.  The finishing sauce is then poured all over the sliced brisket or ribs prior to serving.

10.  Salsa Verde For Braised Pork Butt 

Our Kiwi Lime Salsa Verde makes a wonderful bright vibrant and spicy Mexican sauce for braising whole cuts of pork.  It's an easy sauce for "set it and forget it" crock pot and braising recipes.  Once finished cooking in the salsa verde, the tender flavorful pork can be shredded and used in tacos, pulled pork sandwiches, enchiladas and lettuce wraps.

The Best Jams and Spreads To Pair with Goats Cheese

The Best Jams and Spreads To Pair with Goats Cheese

Goats cheese or "chevre" is a soft creamy fresh cheese made from goats milk and usually comes in a log form.  It's flavor is mild yet tangy and slightly earthy.  There are quite a few varieties of goats cheese made, some are aged and covered in a rind or ash and some are combined with different cheeses such as "goat brie" or "goat gouda". These aged varieties will typically have a more creamy crumbly and richer texture.   

The most well known and accessible form of goats cheese is the fresh chevre that you frequently see in the cheese section of most grocery stores.  It's quite versatile and easily adapted to any cheese board or charcuterie plate.  It can be paired with a variety of jams, jellies, spreads and chutneys in both sweet savory and savory pairings and lends itself to a variety of recipes from appetizers and dips to pasta and salads.

Below are our recommendations for the best jams, jellies, spreads and condiments to pair with goats cheese in a variety of ways from sandwiches to appetizer dips, cheese plates and more. 

1. Fig Spread, Fig Jam or Fig Mostarda

Fig spread or fig jam is a classic accompaniment to a cheese plate and pairs particularly well with goats cheese.  We often serve our Balsamic Fig Mostarda over goats cheese with a drizzle of honey, on toasted crostini with goats cheese and prosciutto or spooned over a whipped goats cheese dip.  For a tasty sandwich spread balsamic fig jam on a goats cheese grilled cheese with arugula, tomato and ham.

2. Onion Jam 

Our Triple Ale Onion Jam Spread is made with sweet caramelized onions, brown sugar, roasted garlic and a trio of ales.  It's fantastic as a quick appetizer spread - spooned into mini pastry tart shells with goats cheese and a sprinkle of thyme and baked.  It also can be used as an alternative "onion spread" pizza base for a butternut squash, sage, bacon and goats cheese pizza.   Add it to a cheese plate with aged goats cheese and cured sausage, to a grilled goats cheese and bacon panini or add to a quiche.

Pictured Below:  Mini Pastry Tarts with Wozz! Onion Jam and Goats Cheese

3. Hot Pepper Jelly

A hot pepper jelly adds a sweet savory and spicy bite to goats cheese on crackers, on a toasted bagel or spread on a grilled sandwich.  We enjoy our Thai Hot Pepper Jelly on a goats cheese panini with spinach and bacon and spooned over a warm baked goats cheese dip.

4. Bruschetta Caponata Relish

Bruschetta Caponata is an Italian savory eggplant and red pepper relish with tomato, Sicilian green olives and capers that is an incredibly delicious savory pairing for goats cheese.  Spoon our bruschetta caponata relish over softened goats cheese with a drizzle of olive oil, Italian herbs and chopped salami and serve with crackers.  Add goats cheese, a bruschetta relish and spinach to your next omelet or pasta dish.

5. Pickled Beets or Beet Relish

Pickled beets and goats cheese is a match made in heaven and is a well favored pairing in salads such as in a beet, orange and goats cheese salad or a panzanella beet salad.  Crostini with goats cheese, beet relish and a sprinkle of greens makes a wonderful summer appetizer and a pickled beet relish spread onto toasted sourdough with goats cheese makes a delectable sandwich.

Honey is a classic accompaniment to goats cheese.  It adds just a bit of sweetness to the tangy goats cheese and can be combined with fig jam and toasted pistachios or pecans to serve with goats cheese.  Honey can be drizzled over chevre stuffed dates with walnuts, mixed into a whipped goats cheese dip or simply served alongside a cheese plate.

Best and Easiest Ways To Use Pickled Beet Relish

Pickled beets are a pantry staple that many of us grew up with.  Fresh beets harvested from the garden and pickled by our grandparents were added to the table most dinner nights to serve alongside many "meat and potato" type dinners.   Pickled beets evoke a nostalgic memorable taste and the balance of sweet and tangy is just wonderfully "more-ish".  We here at Wozz! make an Indian Spiced Pickled Beet Relish that takes the traditional pickled beet just a step forward and gives it a little more depth of flavor with some added spices.  Nevertheless, this pickled beet relish can be used in the same context as a plain ole jar of pickled beets;  alongside roasted meats and potatoes, as an accompaniment to cold cuts and cheese platters or spooned over sandwiches and burgers.  Here are our best and easiest ways to use pickled beet relish.

Serve Pickled Beet Relish with Grilled and Roasted Meats

Simply add a jar of pickled beet relish to the dinner table just like you would a jar of pickles.  Serve alongside roasted chicken, beef, grilled flank steak, duck or sausages and potatoes for a sweet and tangy pickle-y side.   You can also serve pickled beet relish at your next BBQ bash.  Let your guests spoon a little beet relish over their hot dogs, sausages and lamb burgers.

Serve Pickled Beet Relish with Cold Cuts and Appetizer Plates

Pickled beets, pickled beet relish or beet chutney makes a wonderful accompaniment to simple meat and cheese platters.  Serve with sliced ham, salami, roast beef, turkey, Swiss cheese or provolone slices.  Add additional accompaniments including crackers, vegetable crudités, hummus and olives.

Favorite Condiments and Sauces For Eggs

Favorite Condiments and Sauces For Eggs

If you are like me, you love eggs - scrambled, poached or fried for breakfast, lunch or dinner.  Served on buttery toast with a side of crispy bacon or ham, with sauteed mushrooms, roasted tomatoes, fresh avocado, fried halloumi cheese or crispy potatoes, the classic accompaniments and sides are all good in my opinion.  There are so many options to making the ultimate egg breakfast and it all can be elevated even further with the right sauce.  From barbecue to ketchup to hot sauce with a lot of special sauces in between, here are our favorite condiments and sauces for eggs and sides of any kind.

Hot Sauce

Hot sauce is my absolute go-to for my morning eggs (and I don't think I am alone in this addiction).  Whether it be our Serrano Cilantro Lime Hot Sauce on buttery velvety scrambled eggs with flame grilled flatbread or a little sriracha on my fried egg and cheese sandwich, hot sauce adds a zingy uplifting bite.  It's a must have if you are making any Mexican style breakfast from burritos or Huevos rancheros.

Barbecue Sauce

Add barbecue sauce to a fried egg, cheese and ham breakfast roll or add to a steak and egg sandwich.  You can also add our Korean Gochujang BBQ Sauce to this shaved steak and egg burrito breakfast sandwich (it's so so so good!)

Sambal

Sambal is another form of hot sauce but it's got a little more depth and consistency to it.  Our Super Hot Chili Sambal is an Asian style sambal, made with fresh ground chilis. It has a hint of sweetness with fresh lemon tang (vs vinegar tang that you get with more traditional hot sauce) and it's seasoned with fish sauce.  It's pretty hot - a little goes a long way.  Spoon a little on your poached eggs on toast, spread it on a breakfast sandwich or wrap or drizzle on scrambled eggs, hard boiled eggs or an omelet.

Moroccan Tomato Sauce 

If you have never experienced Moroccan Shakshuka then you are missing out on a hearty full flavored breakfast indulgence!  It sounds complicated and looks like it maybe a little too sophisticated and difficult to make but it's actually pretty easy.  You simply add crushed tomatoes, diced onions and red peppers to a skillet with Moroccan seasonings (or you can use our Moroccan Tomato Onion Relish), cook it out and then make little wells in the sauce and poach your eggs .  Then you let it simmer while covered and serve your eggs and Moroccan sauce on toast.  It's a wonderful breakfast dish for a winter weekend or Sunday brunch.

Salsa Verde

Love that fresh zesty cilantro lime bite but without the overwhelming heat of a hot sauce?  Then salsa verde it is.  It's the perfect "green condiment" that is fresh and tangy to add atop scrambled eggs, breakfast burritos, frittatas and omelets.   

Pickled Beet Relish

If you have ever had an Australian style café style breakfast than you have witnessed beets on the breakfast menu.  Beet hummus or pickled beets with poached eggs and sourdough is a classic Aussie beachside breakfast.   We make a beet hummus by combining our Indian Spiced Pickled Beet Relish with some chickpeas in a food processor and add it alongside some poached eggs with toasted sourdough, salad greens, sliced avocado and grilled halloumi cheese.  

Pictured Below:  Poached Eggs with Pickled Beet Hummus

Pepper Jelly

Pepper Jelly adds a sweet and spicy addition to your fried egg, cheese and bacon English muffin sandwich and adds a nice pop of flavor to a frittata or omelet.  We like to add our Green Tomato Jalapeno Pepper Jelly to a southwest style egg and black bean wrap for a sweet spicy jalapeno bite.  You can also add a little dollop of hot pepper jelly onto a hard boiled egg.

Ketchup or a Tomato Based BBQ Sauce

Our Spicy Tomato Kasundi BBQ Sauce is a cross between a smoky BBQ sauce and a globally inspired tomato ketchup and it's pretty delicious on a breakfast sandwich or added to scrambled eggs with crispy potatoes.  You can also go with the tried and true staple that is ketchup but a little extra spice, depth and smokiness is always good with eggs.
