Asian Kale With Noodles Food

ASIAN KALE WITH NOODLES

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a rolling boil. Cook the spaghetti at a boil until tender yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain and set aside.
• Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
• Cook and stir the garlic and ginger in the hot oil until fragrant, about 1 minute.
• Stir the kale into the garlic and ginger mixture; continue cooking and stirring 1 minute more.
• Add the drained spaghetti to the kale mixture; toss while cooking about 30 seconds before adding the soy sauce and water. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook for 2 minutes.
• Make a well in the middle of the spaghetti mixture. Pour the eggs into the well; gently fold the eggs into the noodle mixture as they cook until they are evenly distributed through the noodles and cooked, about 5 minutes.
• Season with the crushed red pepper flakes. Drizzle the sesame oil over the noodles to serve.

SOBA NOODLES WITH CRISPY KALE

Steps:

• Place racks in upper and lower thirds of oven and preheat to 375°F. Toss kale, coconut, nutritional yeast, 1/2 tsp. salt, and 2 Tbsp. olive oil in a large bowl to coat. Divide mixture evenly between 2 rimmed baking sheets and roast, tossing and rotating baking sheets halfway through, until kale is crisp and coconut is golden brown, 15-20 minutes.
• While kale is roasting, cook noodles in a large pot of boiling water according to package directions. Drain and rinse under cold running water. Shake off any residual water and place noodles in a clean large bowl.
• Combine tahini, soy sauce, honey, 2 tsp. sesame oil, 1/2 tsp. red pepper flakes, and remaining 1/2 cup olive oil in a small bowl. Finely grate zest from lime directly into bowl; halve lime and squeeze in juice (about 2 Tbsp.). Whisk dressing until smooth, then pour about half of it over noodles; toss to coat.
• Add half of kale mixture to noodles and toss to incorporate. Drizzle in more dressing as needed, tossing until noodles are creamy; season with salt. Pile remaining kale on top. Drizzle with additional sesame oil and sprinkle with more red pepper flakes.

ASIAN-STYLE KALE

Steps:

• Set a lidded 6 - 8 quart saucepan of water, salted with 2 T salt, on stove to boil.
• Wash the kale thoroughly to remove all grit. Discard the tough ribs, and coarsely chop the kale leaves.
• Plunge the kale into boiling water and cook for 3 to 4 minutes & then drain.
• In a large skillet or heavy wok, heat the sesame oil over medium heat. Add the shallot, garlic, scallions and ginger root and cook for about 1 minute to release the aromas.
• Add the kale a bunch at a time and cook 3 to 4 minutes, or until the leaves have softened a bit but the kale retains its shape. Remove from heat and add the soy sauce. Divide among individual plates, sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds, if using, and serve hot.
