Directions
Noodle Pancake With Stir-Fried Broccoli and Tamari Walnuts, This is a recipe from the book 365 Ways to Cook Pasta. It was so amazingly delicious I had to share it! We served this with pork chops marinated in leftover dumpling dipping sauce from the Blue Ginger cookbook. The meal came together very quickly and would be delicious and a neat presentation for company. One word of caution: an extra pair of hands can be very useful when turning the pancake. Also, used Hodgesdon Mill Whole Wheat Fettucini with Milled Flax Seed since that was what I had on hand, and it was AWESOME! Increase the cooking time when boiling and when making the pancake if using a thicker noodle like that., This recipe has a lot of potential. First off, let me say that we omitted the walnuts. Otherwise, made the recipe as written, except that I made the noodle pancake in individual portions (easier to turn). 2 of 3 diners did not like the sweet/sour nature of the sauce on broccoli – might of worked with different vege, but not broccoli. Also, this dish dirties 3 pots (1 for boiling pasta, 1 for sauteing pasta, 1 for sauteing broccoli) and a colander – way more than I normally want to deal with for an ordinary dish. If you like the broccoli with the sauce, then you could streamline the dish. Or with a different sauce… As I say, the dish has enormous potential., This is a recipe from the book 365 Ways to Cook Pasta. It was so amazingly delicious I had to share it!
