Description: This dish features bok choy and ginger as its main components, making it perfect for those who love a little spiciness in their meals. The cashew rice noodles provide a rich texture that complements the vegetable’s crunch and sweetness perfectly.
Ingredients
– 1 pound (500 grams) of fresh bok choy, roughly chopped
– 1/2 cup (125 mL) of water
– 1 tablespoon (15 mL) of sesame oil
– 1 teaspoon (5 mL) of ground ginger
– 1/2 teaspoon (2.5 mL) of garlic powder
– Salt and pepper, to taste
– 2 tablespoons (25 mL) of canola oil
– 1/2 cup (125 mL) of raw cashew nuts
– 1 cup (250 mL) of cooked cashew rice noodles
Instructions
1. Bring water to boil in a large pot over high heat. Add bok choy and boil until tender but still bright green. Drain well and set aside.
2. In a small bowl, whisk together sesame oil, ground ginger, and garlic powder. Set aside.
3. Heat canola oil in a skillet on medium-high heat. Once hot, add bok choy and stir frequently to prevent sticking. Cook until lightly browned, about 3 minutes. Remove from heat and set aside.
4. Toast cashew nuts in a pan without any added fat for approximately 1 minute per side, or until fragrant and slightly golden brown. Remove from heat and chop coarsely into small pieces using your fingers.
5. Combine cashew nuts, cashew rice noodles, and reserved sauce in a large bowl. Stir together thoroughly to coat all sides of the noodles with the sauce.
6. Return the bok choy to the pan used for sauteing and add back to the mixture along with salt and pepper, to taste. Mix well to combine.
7. Serve immediately or store leftovers covered at room temperature for up to 3 days.
