Sesame Ginger Noodles with Stir-Fried Greens & Toasted Peanuts

Toasted sesame oil and spicy chili garlic sauce pack a punch in this high-protein, high-fiber ramen bowl. Gai lan has glossy leaves, hearty stems, and broccoli-esque florets. Its bitter-sweet flavor complements the earthiness of Swiss chard for a succulent noodle dish.

Step 1
