GINGER NOODLES WITH KALE & SHIITAKES

Steps:

• Prepare your noodles - if you're using the shiratake noodles, they don't need to be cooked, but drain and rinse them. They have sort of a funky smell, so I recommend shocking them in boiling water for 30 seconds. Then drain and rinse (again) in cold water. Set aside until you're ready to use them.
• In a large skillet (I used a stainless one where the sides of it are 4 or so inches high), splash a bit of olive oil. When it's hot, add the mushrooms and a pinch of salt. Cook, stirring occasionally, until they have wilted down, 5 or so minutes. Toss in the kale, ginger, garlic, and scallions. Sauté for a few minutes until the kale starts to wilt down but the garlic is not burning. Turn the heat down if garlic and ginger are starting to burn.
• Add the broth, edamame, and noodles and simmer for a few minutes. If your veggies are soaking up all your broth, add more.
• Turn off the heat and stir in the soy sauce, basil, mint, lime juice, and red pepper flakes, if using. Taste and adjust seasonings.
• Ladle in to bowls and finish with a drizzle of toasted sesame oil and a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Top with cooked salmon, if using.
• To cook the salmon: Season the fish with salt, pepper, and olive oil and press some sesame seeds on top. In a hot skillet, place the salmon, sesame seed side down, and sear so a light crust forms - 2 or so minutes. Some sesame seeds will fall off, that's ok. Flip the salmon and continue cooking until it's more (but not completely) opaque in the middle, about 4-6 more minutes. Serve on top of bowls of ginger noodles. Sprinkle with more sesame seeds if some have fallen off.

SPICY GLASS NOODLES WITH SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS AND CABBAGE

Steps:

• Place the noodles in a large bowl, cover with room-temperature water and soak until pliable, about 30 minutes. Drain. Place dried shiitakes in a medium bowl, cover with room-temperature water and soak until hydrated and soft, about 30 minutes. Drain the mushrooms, remove their stems, and julienne the caps.
• While the noodles and mushrooms soak, heat the grapeseed oil in a large lidded skillet over medium-high, uncovered. Stir-fry the garlic, ginger and scallion until light golden, about 1 minute. Add the shiitakes and continue to stir-fry until golden, about 2 minutes.
• Stir in the cabbage and curry powder, then 3 tablespoons soy sauce. Reduce heat to medium, cover and cook until the cabbage is wilted and has given up its natural juices, 5 to 7 minutes.
• Add the drained noodles and remaining 1 tablespoon soy sauce. Increase heat to high, and stir-fry until noodles absorb the juices and are cooked through yet still chewy, 1 to 2 minutes. Drizzle with sesame oil, toss well, sprinkle with cilantro and serve immediately.

RAMEN NOODLES WITH KALE

Steps:

• Heat a large skillet over mediumhigh heat. Add the sesame oil and mushrooms and cook for 1 to 2 minutes, stirring once or twice, until the mushrooms start to soften, adding 1 tablespoon of water if they begin to stick. Add the garlic, ginger, and chile and reduce the heat to medium. Cook for another 1 to 2 minutes, until the mushrooms are softened and the garlic is fragrant. Sprinkle in the five-spice powder and stir to coat. Add the noodles and vegetable broth.
• Cover, reduce the heat, and simmer for 4 to 5 minutes, until the noodles are tender. Add the kale and butter and cook for 1 to 2 minutes more, until the kale is wilted. Garnish with the scallions and serve immediately.

PASTA WITH KALE, SHIITAKE MUSHROOMS AND SAUSAGE

Steps:

• Make the pasta in boiling salted water, drain (reserve 2 cups of the pasta water if you're making the vegetarian version), drizzle with olive oil, season with sea salt and black pepper, toss and set aside.
• Sauté with olive oil or grill the sausages to put a crust on the outside, drain on a paper towel, cut into 1/4-inch rounds, then set aside. In a hot pan lightly brown the kale with the olive oil and remove. Add the shiitakes, shallots, and garlic, and sauté until lightly browned. Turn down the heat to medium. Return the kale to the pan along with the sausages, stock, and butter. Braise for 15 minutes. The liquid should reduce by half.
• Taste and adjust the seasoning with sea salt and pepper. Add the cooked pasta, toss to coat with the sauce. Serve with grated cheese.

STICKY PORK WITH GINGERED NOODLES & KALE

Steps:

• Mix half the ginger with the soy, honey and five-spice in a shallow dish. Add the pork steaks and turn in the mixture to coat. Grill for 6-8 mins, turning once, until the pork is cooked and nicely browned.
• Meanwhile, cook the noodles following pack instructions. Heat the oil in a wok or large frying pan, then quickly fry the remaining ginger with the kale and chilli for 2 mins until wilted. Drain the noodles and add to the pan, tossing everything together. Serve with the pork steaks.

GINGERY SHIITAKE NOODLES

Steps:

• Cook the noodles according to pack instructions, then toss with a little sesame oil to stop them sticking.
• Heat a wok over a high heat, then add the groundnut oil. Once it's smoking, add the ginger, stir-fry for a couple of secs, then add the mushrooms with a splash of water to create steam, and cook for 1 min. Toss through the cooked noodles for 2 mins until hot, then add the spring onions, oyster and soy sauces, and a dash more sesame oil.

GINGER & CHICKEN NOODLES

Steps:

• Whisk the eggs with 2 tbsp water. Heat 1 tbsp of the oil in a large non-stick frying pan. Swirl the eggs into the pan and cook for 2 mins until set, flip over and continue to cook for 1 min. Tip the omelette onto a board and, when cool enough to handle, slice into strips and set aside.
• Heat the remaining oil in a large wok and stir-fry the chicken for 5 mins until browned, then add the ginger and garlic, and cook for a few minutes. Scatter over most of the spring onions, reserving some to sprinkle on the top, followed by the sake or sherry and noodles. Give everything a good mix. Drizzle over the soy, stir through the shredded omelette, sprinkle over the reserved spring onions and serve.
