INSTRUCTIONS

1
Cook the rice noodles and peanuts

Bring large pot of salted water to a boil for noodles. Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add peanuts and cook until toasted, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove toasted peanuts with slotted spoon and transfer to bowl, leaving oil in skillet. Once water is boiling, add noodles and cook until al dente, 8 to 10 minutes. Drain noodles and rinse under cool water to stop cooking process. (4-serving meal: use 2 tbsp vegetable oil) (TIP: The noodles should be slightly undercooked, as they will finish cooking in a later step.)

2
Cook the vegetables

Return skillet with oil to medium-high heat and add asparagus and collard greens. Cook until bright green and crisp-tender, 2 to 3 minutes. Add ginger, garlic, dates, and a pinch of salt. Cook until ginger and garlic are softened, 2 to 3 minutes. Transfer to plate and wipe skillet clean. (TIP: Crisp-tender means vegetables will still have some crunch.)

3
Combine the noodles and sauce

Return same skillet to low heat, add rice noodles and Thai peanut sauce, and simmer until noodles are coated and sauce has thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Season to taste with salt and pepper.

4
Serve

Divide creamy peanut noodles between bowls. Top with gingered asparagus and collard greens and sprinkle with toasted peanuts. Tuck in!
