Ingredients:
1 head kale, chopped
1 head broccoli, chopped
chicken (cooked any way), about 1 cup, chopped - or - any protein of your choice; tofu is great in this dish too!
half an onion
2-5 (or more!) cloves of garlic, chopped
1 two-inch bulb of ginger (or more!), grated
2-4 TBSP olive oil
1 TBSP ground turmeric
1 tsp crushed chili flakes (optional)
sea salt/soy sauce (to taste)
ground black pepper
brown rice noodles (make this dish with less or more noodles - whatever your preference).
a spritz of lime, if you have it
+ any other veg hanging around your fridge - I used half a sweet potato and a handful of mushrooms.
Steps:
Prepare your protein however your like; I used leftover roast chicken. Set aside.
Turn the oven on to 400.
Spread out the kale and broccoli on a sheet pan and drizzle with olive oil, sea salt & ground pepper.
Set to bake for about 15 minutes.
Boil a med pot of water and prepare your brown rice noodles; rinse & set aside.
Meanwhile, in a med pan, sauté the olive oil, garlic, onion & turmeric for a few mins. Add some sea salt and any other veg (I added mushrooms & sweet potato).
Remove your greens from the oven.
Turn off the heat and combine everything in the pan with the drained & rinsed brown rice noodles, the baked greens, and the protein. Gently toss like a salad. Add a few TBSP of water to deglaze if it seems too toasty or dry.
Optional: fresh herbs like basil & cilantro / chopped nuts / a squeeze of lime / a dash of soy sauce!
Enjoy! ❤️
