Ingredients

Scale
  • 1/2 lb ground beef, chicken, or crumbled tofu
  • 3 cloves garlic (chopped)
  • 1 tsp chopped ginger
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp apple vinegar
  • 3 tbsp chili oil
  • 2 portions fresh egg noodles or spaghetti
  • Handful of leafy greens (yu choy, bok choy, or napa cabbage)
  • Chopped green onion and crushed peanuts for garnish

Instructions

  1. Marinate your protein (beef/chicken/tofu) with garlic, ginger, soy sauce, apple vinegar, and black pepper for about 10 minutes.
  2. In a separate bowl, mix tahini (or peanut butter), soy sauce, chili oil, and sugar to create your sauce.
  3. Heat oil in a wok over high heat; stir-fry marinated protein until cooked through (about 4 minutes). Add preserved mustard greens and cook for another minute.
  4. Meanwhile, cook noodles according to package directions. Add leafy greens during the last minute of cooking for blanching.
  5. Drain noodles and greens together; layer half of the prepared sauce in serving bowls before adding noodles on top.
  6. Arrange blanched greens and sautéed protein over the noodles. Pour hot broth around edges and garnish with green onions and crushed peanuts.
