Calories: 566kcal
Ingredients
- ¼ cup creamy natural peanut butter
- 1- inch piece fresh ginger, grated
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 2 tablespoons lime juice
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce or tamari
- 1 teaspoon maple syrup or agave, optional, but nice
- ¼ cup water
- ½ bunch of kale, stems removed and torn into bite-sized pieces (about 3 cups)
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 3 cups leftover cooked rice, chilled
- ¼ cup roasted peanuts
- 2 scallions, chopped
- Sriracha hot sauce, to taste
Instructions
- Whisk together peanut butter, ginger, garlic, lime juice, soy sauce and maple syrup. Thin with water until the mixture is just a little on the runny side. Set aside.
- Fill a medium saucepan with water and heat to a boil. Remove from heat and blanch kale in water for 30 seconds to one minute, until just tender. Do this in batches if needed. Transfer the kale to a plate and set aside.
- Heat the oil in large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the rice and stir-fry until it begins to brown and crisp in spots, about 4 minutes. Add the kale and the peanut butter mixture. Continue to stir fry until the rice and kale are coated and the sauce begins to dry up a bit.
- Remove from heat. Divide onto plates and serve topped with peanuts, scallions and sriracha.
