Spicy Mustard Greens with Asian Noodles
- + New List
Cookbook
Recipe
This dish has a spicy sweet taste offset by the peppery bite of the mustard greens and goes well with many grilled meats, fish, or poultry entrées. It makes a pretty presentation on any plate, with the bright green of the mustard and the white noodles. To change the flavor, add other mushrooms and substitute spinach for the mustard greens, or add beef strips or shrimp and serve as an entrée. It tastes great served hot or at room temperature.
Yield :
4 to 6 servings
Ingredients
- 4 ounces soba noodles; or substitute other Asian noodles such as udon, somen, or ramen (available in Asian markets)

- 8 ounces mustard greens, stems removed and coarsely chopped; or substitute Asian baby greens
- 2 ounces straw mushrooms
- 1 cup mung bean sprouts
- 1 tablespoon toasted sesame seeds for garnish
Sauce:
- 1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar
- 4 teaspoons rice vinegar
- 1 tablespoon peanut oil
- 2 teaspoons light soy sauce
- 1 green onion, chopped
- ¼ teaspoon dark sesame oil

Directions
Cook the noodles according to the directions on the package. Drain and rinse the noodles and place in a bowl. Add the sesame oil and toss to coat.
Combine all the sauce ingredients in a bowl and stir to mix.
Heat a heavy skillet or wok over medium-high heat, add the vegetable oil, and when hot, add the ginger, garlic, and chile and stir-fry for a couple of minutes.
