How to Make Sesame Noodles With Kale

  1. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. While the water heats, prepare the kale:
  2. Remove the thickest part of the kale stems and discard. Finely slice the remaining stems and leaves.
  3. Place the sliced kale in a large bowl of water, swish vigorously to remove any grit, then drain in a colander and rinse thoroughly.
  4. Add pasta to the boiling water and cook according to package directions, minus 5 minutes.
  5. Add the kale stems to the pasta pot. Press down with a spoon to submerge.
  6. After 2 minutes, add the kale leaves to the pot, pressing down again to submerge.
  7. Continue cooking until the pasta and kale are tender-crisp, about 5 minutes more (total pasta cooking time should be as indicated on package).
  8. Drain the pasta and kale thoroughly and return them to the pot.
  9. Stir in sesame oil and tamari; toss with a fork to coat evenly.
  10. Taste and add more sesame oil or tamari to your preference.
  11. Sprinkle with toasted sesame seeds and toss gently.
  12. Serve immediately or at room temperature. Enjoy!
