INSTRUCTIONS
Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil for the noodles. Add ginger, tamari, peanut butter, rice vinegar, just half the sesame oil, just half the chili garlic sauce, and ΒΌ cup hot water to a medium bowl and whisk the sesame ginger sauce. (4-serving meal: use Β½ cup hot water). TIPS: The sauce will not be completely smooth. Use more chili garlic sauce if you prefer more spice.
Add ramen noodles to the boiling water and cook until al dente, 1 to 2 minutes. Drain noodles and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Heat remaining sesame oil in a large nonstick skillet over medium heat. Add peanuts and a pinch of salt and pepper. Cook until nuts are toasted and fragrant, 1 to 3 minutes. Use a slotted spoon to transfer toasted peanuts to a small bowl, leaving the oil in the skillet. TIP: When peanuts become fragrant, remove them from the skillet. They will continue to toast slightly while off heat.
Return the skillet with sesame oil to high heat. Add gai lan, Swiss chard, and a pinch of salt and pepper and cook until bright green and tender, 2 to 3 minutes. TIP: If youβre making the 4-serving meal, cook everything in a large pot instead of the skillet.
Add cooked ramen noodles and sesame ginger sauce to the skillet with the greens. Cook, tossing frequently, until evenly coated and warmed through, 1 to 3 minutes.
Divide the sesame ginger noodles with stir-fried greens between bowls. Top with toasted peanuts and mini sweet peppers. Drizzle with remaining chili garlic sauce. Bon appΓ©tit!
