Carrot-Ginger and Chicken Noodles
- 3 tablespoons olive oil, plus more for tossing
- 1 clove garlic, thinly sliced
- One 2-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and thinly sliced
- 4 medium carrots, thinly sliced
- 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
- 1 tablespoon low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons light brown sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon mild curry powder
- Kosher salt
- 8 ounces linguine
- 1 cup shredded rotisserie chicken
- 2 scallions, cut into 3-inch pieces and very thinly sliced
- Heat 2 tablespoons of the oil in a large skillet set over medium-high heat.
- Add the garlic and ginger and cook, stirring, until slightly softened and fragrant, about 2 minutes.
- Add the carrots, 2 1/2 cups water, vinegar, soy sauce, brown sugar, curry powder and 1 teaspoon salt.
- Bring to a simmer, cover and cook until the carrots are tender, about 15 minutes.
- Let the mixture cool.
- Transfer the mixture to a blender and add the remaining 1 tablespoon oil.
- Keep the sauce at room temperature.
- Meanwhile, bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and cook the pasta according to the package directions.
- Drain, toss with some oil and cool to room temperature.
- Add the carrot-ginger sauce, chicken, scallions and some salt.
- Add some hot water to thin out the sauce if necessary.
- The noodles should be fairly loose and slippery, as the pasta will absorb much of the sauce once it is refrigerated.
- Refrigerate in an airtight container for up to 3 days.
