Whiskey Sour Noodle

A Noodle dish that is a mash-up of a whiskey sour cocktail and a Korean dish called jajangmyeon that is loaded with fermented bean paste.

Ingredients

  • 1/2 Cup Whiskey
  • 1/2 Cup Lemon Juice
  • 1/2 Cup Fermented Bean Paste
  • Honey
  • Sriracha
  • Korean Style Wheat Based Noodles
  • 1 Pack Firm Tofu
  • 1 Cup Diced Onion
  • 1 Cup Diced Cabbage
  • 1 Tablespoon Garlic Ginger Paste
  • 1 Handful Enoki Mushrooms
  • Cucumber

Instructions

  • For the sauce, mix ½ cup whiskey, ½ cup lemon juice, and ½ cup fermented bean paste. Add a squeeze of honey and sriracha and mix it all together.
  • Find some Korean wheat basted noodles (mine were made in Korea and called "Oriental style"). Drop them into boiling water and stir, kill the heat and add a cup of cold water. allow to sit about 10 to 15 minutes until tender. Strain, rinse well, and set aside.
  • Fry some cubed tofu to brown well on all edges. On high heat brown the edges of a diced onion and cabbage(about a cup each). Add a heaping tablespoon of ginger-garlic paste and a handful of enoki mushrooms and mix well. Cook 2 minutes. Add the sauce and boil for about 5 minutes. Pour over noodles and add fried tofu. Mix well. Serve and garnish with sliced cucumber.
  • I slightly over-sauced this. I had a huge bag of noodles and just had to sort of grab a handful and hope it was enough. if you have enough noodles for 4 people, it should be perfect for this amount of sauce. If you are unsure, pour the sauce on slowly while mixing to make sure to apply the right amount.
