The first thing that you will want to do is make your double blanched garlic. To do this prepare an ice bath and then separate your garlic into cloves. Remove the ends of the cloves using a knife.
Then fill up a small sized saucepan with some water. Season with a dash of salt and set over medium heat. Bring this to a boil and add in your cloves of garlic. Blanch for the next 30 seconds before removing and dunking into your ice bath immediately. Drain and pat dry with a paper towels. Peel your cloves and slice thinly.
Next bring a large sized stockpot over medium heat. Fill up with water and bring this water to a boil. Then set a large sized wok over medium heat and add in a generous amount of peanut oil.
In your wok once the oil is hot enough add in your garlic. Cook for the next 2 to 3 minutes before adding in your white sugar. Continue to cook for another 1 to 2 minutes or until your garlic begins to caramelize.
Add in your rice wine, vinegar and favorite kind of soy sauce and deglaze your pan. Add in your fresh carrots, haricot verts and your green onions. Stir thoroughly to combine before adding in your chili sauce. Continue to cook until reduced by at least half.
Meanwhile add a dash of salt to your boiling water. Once your water is boiling add in your noodles and cook until tender to the touch. Once tender drain your noodles thoroughly before adding them into your sauce. Toss thoroughly to coat thoroughly.
Season your shrimp with a dash of salt and pepper. Toss in your flour until thoroughly coated on all sides. Add into a skillet with some oil set over high heat. Saute for the next 1 to 2 minutes or until golden in color. Remove and drain on a plate lined with some paper towels.

Alternative Method: Slow Cooker Chinese Style Noodles Smothered

Ingredients:

8 oz (about 2 cups) of Chinese egg noodles
1 lb boneless, skinless chicken thighs, diced
2 cups of low-sodium chicken broth
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup hoisin sauce
2 cloves garlic, minced
2 tsp fresh ginger, minced
1 cup carrots, julienned
1 cup red bell pepper, sliced
1 cup snap peas
1 cup broccoli florets
1/4 cup green onions, chopped
1 tbsp cornstarch
2 tbsp water
Sesame seeds and fresh cilantro for garnish

Instructions:

In a slow cooker, combine chicken broth, low-sodium soy sauce, hoisin sauce, minced garlic, and minced ginger. Stir to mix well.
Add the diced chicken thighs into the slow cooker and set it to the low heat setting. Cover and cook for 4-5 hours, or until the chicken is tender and fully cooked.
Approximately 30 minutes before serving, add the julienned carrots, sliced red bell pepper, snap peas, and broccoli florets to the slow cooker. These vegetables will gently simmer in the flavorful broth, absorbing all the delicious flavors.
In a separate pot, cook the Chinese egg noodles according to the package instructions. Drain and set them aside.
In a small bowl, whisk together the cornstarch and water to create a slurry. Pour this slurry into the slow cooker and gently stir. This will help thicken the sauce.
Cover and let the mixture cook for an additional 15-20 minutes on the low heat setting, allowing the sauce to thicken and the vegetables to become tender.
To serve, place a portion of the cooked noodles in a bowl and ladle the flavorful chicken and vegetable mixture over them. Drizzle some of the aromatic sauce on top.
Garnish with chopped green onions, sesame seeds, and fresh cilantro for a burst of fresh flavors.

Tips for making Chinese Style Noodles Smothered

Cooking Tips

Brown the Chicken: Before placing the chicken in the slow cooker, consider browning it in a hot skillet. This extra step adds depth to the flavor.
Low and Slow: The magic of a slow cooker lies in the low and slow method. Cooking this dish on low heat ensures that the chicken becomes incredibly tender, and the flavors meld together beautifully.
Don’t Overcook: Be cautious not to overcook the noodles in the slow cooker. They are best cooked separately to maintain their texture and flavor.
Fresh Ingredients: Whenever possible, use fresh ginger and garlic for an authentic and vibrant taste. The fresh ingredients add a delightful zing to the dish.
Customize Veggies: Feel free to customize the vegetables based on your preferences. Snow peas, baby corn, or water chestnuts are all fantastic additions.
Saucy Consistency: If you prefer a thicker sauce, you can increase the cornstarch slurry slightly. Just be mindful not to go overboard to maintain a balanced consistency.
