directions

A bold, global-inspired noodle dish created in partnership with Chef Nathaniel Malone, Creative Dining Services.

Smoked brisket burnt ends are tossed with charred wide rice noodles in a rich, smoky hoisin jus, then served with garlic-fried collard greens, crushed peanuts, and pickled onions. Perfect for today’s college dining halls, this recipe balances comfort and global flair to keep students coming back for more.

Prepare the Noodles:
- If using dry rice noodles, soak in warm water until pliable (not mushy), then drain.
- If using fresh, gently separate and set aside.
Sear the Brisket:
- In a hot wok or cast-iron skillet, add oil and sear the burnt ends until caramelized and crispy on the edges. Remove and set aside.
Char the Noodles:
- Add more oil if needed. Add noodles to the hot pan and let them sear undisturbed for 30–60 seconds for char.
- Toss gently and repeat for even charring.
Build the Sauce:
- Push noodles to one side. Add garlic, Gluten-Free Hoisin Sauce, Soy Sauce (or Tamari Soy Sauce), fish sauce, Rice Vinegar, and smoked paprika. Let bubble briefly, then toss with the noodles and brisket until coated and heated through.
Make Garlic-Fried Collards:
- In a separate skillet, heat oil and fry garlic until golden. Add collard greens and stir-fry until wilted (about 2–3 minutes). Season lightly with salt.
Assemble the Dish:
- Plate noodles and brisket in a shallow bowl.
- Top with collards, pickled onions, and crushed peanuts.
- Garnish with lime wedges and chili flakes if desired.

Serving Suggestion
Serve hot with a refreshing side, such as cucumber salad or Thai basil lemonade. Ideal as a food truck special, gastropub brunch item, or elevated late-night comfort plate in a campus setting.

THE STORY OF SOY SAUCE

Even people who love soy sauce and use it all the time are often surprised to learn what it is and how it’s made. We make ours from just four simple ingredients—water, soybeans, wheat, and salt. Those ingredients are transformed through a traditional brewing process—much like making wine or beer—that has remained unchanged for centuries.
