Satay Noodles And Greens
  • Author: Jaden Hair

This flavorful stir-fried noodle dish combines tender rice noodles with a medley of vegetables and a rich, nutty sauce. The dish gets its aromatic depth from Chinese five-spice powder, and just a hint of heat from fresh chili peppers. Each bite is a delightful mix of savory, sweet, and spicy flavors, making it a satisfying and comforting meal that comes together quickly in one pan.

Ingredients

  • 8 ounces dry rice noodles
  • 1 tablespoon cooking oil
  • 1 large leek
  • 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 1 small green or red chili pepper, minced
  • 4 handfuls shredded greens, such as cabbage, napa cabbage, bok choy and tatsoi
  • 2 tablespoons hot water
  • 4 tablespoons chunky peanut butter
  • 2 tablespoons dark soy sauce (or 2 tablespoons regular soy sauce + 1 tablespoon brown sugar)
  • 1 tablespoon honey
  • 1 teaspoon Chinese five-spice powder
  • 1/2 teaspoon sea or kosher salt

Instructions

  • Soak the dry rice noodles in warm water for 5-8 minutes. In a bowl, whisk together the hot water, peanut butter, dark soy sauce, honey, five-spice powder, salt and set aside. We'll be only using the white part of the leek (compost or use the green part to make broth).
  • Wash the leek very well, separating the layers a bit to rinse out any dirt. Very thinly slice the leek.
  • Heat the cooking oil in a large saute pan or wok over medium heat until just shimmering. Add the leek, garlic and chili pepper. Cook for 2 minutes (take care to not burn the garlic).
  • Add the shredded greens and continue to cook until they have softened slightly, about 1 minute. Turn heat to medium-high and add in the soy sauce mixture.
  • Drain the rice noodles. When sauce begins to bubble a bit, add in the rice noodles and cook for 1-2 minutes or until the rice noodles are cooked.
