Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 19

1/3 cup (85 g) natural peanut butter
1 tbsp (18 g) red miso, more if needed
Juice from 1 lemon (2 tbsp [30 ml])
2 tsp (10 ml) toasted sesame oil
2 tsp (13 g) agave nectar or brown rice syrup
2 ½ tbsp (15 g) chopped scallions
1 clove garlic, minced
1 tbsp (15 ml) brown rice vinegar or seasoned rice vinegar
1/3 cup (80 ml) water, more if needed
2 tsp (10 ml) sesame oil
1 small red onion, chopped
1 ½ cups (256 g) cooked chickpeas
2 large cloves garlic, minced (to taste)
½ tsp sea salt
½ tsp smoked paprika
¼ tsp chipotle powder
1 large bunch kale (about 14 oz [397 g]), ribs removed, washed and chopped
roasted or baked sweet potato
sesame seeds for topping

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.

TOFU AND KALE WITH PEANUT SAUCE



Tofu and Kale With Peanut Sauce image

Simple, nutritious and tasty. You can use whatever greens are available: Swiss chard, beet greens, turnip greens, etc. Natural peanut butter (without hydrogenated oils) is better (for everything, not just this recipe). If you don't have a jalapeno, or don't like them, you can add some cayenne or some Tabasco sauce to the peanut sauce instead. Frying in peanut oil is key; because of its high smoke point, you can get it screaming hot, which is what is needed to get the tofu nice and crisp.

CHICKEN STIR-FRY WITH SPICY PEANUT SAUCE



Chicken Stir-Fry with Spicy Peanut Sauce image

"How do I make chicken interesting?" is a question people often ask me. Here's your answer. I love making a double batch of this sauce and keeping it in the door of the fridge for a day when I need something tasty in a pinch. Don't like spice? Simply omit the hot sauce and the red pepper flakes. You can also sub thinly sliced lean beef for the chicken or just make it a stir-fry with all vegetables...

Categories     main-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 16

1/2 cup smooth peanut butter
1/4 cup low-sodium soy sauce
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 tablespoon honey
1 tablespoon hot sauce
1 tablespoon sesame oil
1 knob ginger, grated (to equal about 1 tablespoon)
5 large cloves garlic, grated
1 pound boneless, skinless chicken breasts, cut into 1/4-inch-thick strips
Kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon red pepper flakes
3 tablespoons canola oil
12 to 15 small red radishes, quartered, plus 1 loose cup radish greens, coarsely chopped
1 large red bell pepper, cored, seeded and cut into 1/2-inch-thick strips
1 cup frozen peas
Zest and juice from 1 small lime

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.

SPICY STIR-FRIED TOFU WITH KALE AND RED PEPPER



Spicy Stir-Fried Tofu With Kale and Red Pepper image

Kale is a member of the cruciferous family of vegetables (genus Brassica), so named because their flowers have four petals in the shape of a cross. A nutritional powerhouse that tastes wonderful when properly cooked, kale is one of nature's best sources of vitamins A, C and K and a very good source of copper, potassium, iron, manganese and phosphorus. These greens are hearty, and they maintain about 50 percent of their volume when you cook them, unlike spinach, which cooks down to a fraction of its volume. The various types of kale also maintain a lot of texture, which makes them perfect for stir-fries.

Categories     dinner, weekday, main course

Time 20m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 15

1 bunch curly kale (about 10 ounces), stemmed and washed
1 14-ounce package firm tofu, sliced about 1/4 inch thick
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon Shao Hsing rice wine or dry sherry
1/4 cup chicken or vegetable stock
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1/4 teaspoon salt (more to taste)
1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper, preferably white pepper

1 tablespoon peanut oil or canola oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon minced ginger
1 serrano pepper, seeded and minced
1 red bell pepper, cut in 2-inch julienne
2 teaspoons dark sesame oil

Steps:

  • Bring a medium saucepan of lightly salted water to a boil, add the kale and blanch 1 minute. Transfer to a bowl of cold water, drain and squeeze out excess water. Chop coarsely and place in a bowl near your wok.
  • Cut the tofu into dominos and place them on paper towels. Place another paper towel on top and prepare the remaining ingredients.
  • In a small bowl or measuring cup, combine the soy sauce, rice wine or sherry, stock and cornstarch. Combine the salt, pepper and sugar in another small bowl. Have all the ingredients within arm's length of your wok.
  • Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch steel skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates within a second or two when added to the pan. Swirl in the canola or peanut oil by adding it to the sides of the pan and swirling the pan, then add the tofu. Stir-fry 1 to 2 minutes, until it begins to color. Add the garlic, ginger and chili and stir-fry for no more than 10 seconds.
  • Add the red pepper and stir-fry for 1 minute. Add the kale, salt, pepper and sugar and toss together. Add the soy sauce mixture and the sesame oil. Stir-fry for another 30 seconds to a minute. Remove from the heat and serve with grains or noodles.
