Kale Stir Fry With Peanut Sauce Food

EASY VEGETABLE STIR FRY WITH CREAMY PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Get all ingredients ready and in one place. Thaw the frozen veggies (with a microwave or by taking them out of the freezer early enough).
• Chop the snow peas, baby corn and onion. Dice the garlic and ginger.
• Cook the noodles so you have them at hand when the stir-fry comes together. When ready, drain and rinse under cold water (they'll stick together less).
• Grab a large bowl and chuck in the peanut butter, soy sauce, sweet chilli sauce, water, syrup. Mix well with a spoon 'til it's a nice and creamy sauce. Optionally, throw in the lemon grass.
• In a wok or large pan heat the oil until it starts smoking.
• Add the garlic, ginger, onion, sugar snaps and baby corn.
• Around 40 seconds later add the thawed veggies. (If you just use fresh veg, throw in everything at once).
• Stir it well for about 4-5 minutes.
• Reduce the heat a little and add the sauce and noodles. It'll quickly begin to boil.
• Make sure it's all nice and creamy. Add a little more water, if not!
• Add some peanuts.
• Let it simmer for another 3-5 minutes.
• Fish out the lemon grass before serving (it's only for the flavour, not for eating!!)
• Done!

KALE CHICKPEA STIR-FRY WITH MISO PEANUT DRESSING

Steps:

• To make the drizzle, place the peanut butter, miso, lemon juice, sesame oil, agave, scallions, garlic, vinegar and water in a blender. Blend until perfectly smooth. Adjust the miso to taste, and add more water if needed to get a thick yet pourable dressing. Set aside while preparing the rest of the dish. I like to use a squeeze bottle to serve the drizzle; it makes for a prettier presentation.
• To make the kale and chickpeas, place the sesame oil, onion, chickpeas, garlic, salt, paprika and chipotle powder in a large skillet. Heat on medium-high and stir-fry until the onion is golden brown and fragrant, about 4 minutes. Be sure to stir frequently to prevent scorching. Add the kale and cook until wilted, about 2 minutes.
• Serve with roasted sweet potatoes and drizzle peanut sauce on top. If there are sauce leftovers, store them in an airtight container in the refrigerator. It tastes great on tofu bowls, baked potatoes and roasted vegetables.

NOODLE STIR-FRY WITH CRUNCHY PEANUTS

Steps:

• Mix the peanut butter with the soy sauce and 50ml water, then add the peanuts. Put the noodles in a bowl and cover them with boiling water. Stir them gently so they separate, then drain.
• Heat ½ tbsp oil in a wok or large frying pan, and pour in the egg. Leave the egg to set, then chop it up with your spatula and tip it onto a plate. Heat the remaining oil in the wok. Stir-fry the veg until starting to wilt, then add the noodles and keep cooking. Return the egg to the wok, then spoon in the peanut mixture and toss. Divide between bowls, then sprinkle over more peanuts. Serve with sweet chilli sauce, if you like.

STIR FRIED KALE

CHICKEN STIR-FRY WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• In a large bowl, whisk the peanut butter with the soy sauce, vinegar, honey, hot sauce, sesame oil, ginger, two-thirds of the garlic and 2 tablespoons warm water until smooth. (If the sauce is too thick, thin with a little more warm water.) Set aside.
• Arrange the pieces of chicken on a baking sheet in a single layer. Sprinkle on one side with salt and the red pepper flakes. Turn the pieces on their other side and sprinkle again with salt.
• Heat a large heavy-bottomed skillet over high heat. Add half of the oil and heat until it begins to smoke. Remove the skillet from the heat and quickly add half of the chicken pieces in a single layer. Return the pan to high heat and cook, stirring from time to time, until the chicken is fully cooked, 3 to 5 minutes. Drain and repeat with the remaining oil and chicken.
• In the same skillet, stir in the remaining garlic, radishes, radish greens and peppers and season with salt. Mix so the radish greens wilt. Stir in the peanut sauce and simmer for an additional minute. Taste for seasoning. Stir in the peas and the chicken. Turn off the heat and let rest a couple of minutes on the stove. Top with a few grates of lime zest and the juice.

KALE AND CHICKEN STIR-FRY

Steps:

• Lightly season chicken breasts on both sides with salt and pepper.
• Heat a cast iron skillet over medium heat and pan-fry chicken until it is no longer pink in the center and the juices run clear, turning occasionally, about 10 minutes. An instant-read thermometer inserted into the center should read at least 165 degrees F (74 degrees C). Remove from skillet, allow to cool, and cut into bite-sized pieces.
• Meanwhile, pierce sweet potato with a fork a few times and microwave until fork-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Be careful not to overcook. Remove and allow to cool; then cut into bite-sized pieces.
• Heat oil in a wok, Dutch oven, or heavy skillet over medium heat. Add kale, season with salt and pepper, and cook until wilted, 3 to 5 minutes. Add sweet potato, mini peppers, onion, zucchini, and garlic. Stir-fry for 3 to 5 minutes. Add chicken and peanut sauce. Stir all ingredients together until well combined. Cook and stir for 3 minutes.

• If it is too thick, add hot water 1 tbsp at a time until dressing is desired consistency.
• Remove kale from water and drain as much water out as possible. If you want, you can use paper towels to get more water out.
• Toss with the dressing and mix in some red onions sliced very thinly and chopped peanuts.

KALE WITH CHICKPEAS IN PEANUT SAUCE

Steps:

• Melt peanut butter in microwave. Mix in tomatoes and chickpeas and set aside.
