The Method

1
Cook the noodles according to package directions. Drain and set aside.
2
If using fresh beans, blanch them in boiling water for 3-4 minutes until tender-crisp. Drain and set aside.
3
In a small saucepan, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, honey (or maple syrup), sesame oil, minced ginger, minced garlic, and red pepper flakes. Add water or Jersey milk, one tablespoon at a time, until the sauce reaches your desired consistency. Warm the sauce gently over low heat, stirring constantly.
4
In a large skillet or wok, melt Jersey butter over medium heat. Add the shredded Jersey cabbage and sauté for 5-7 minutes, or until slightly softened but still crisp.
5
Add the cooked noodles and blanched/cooked Jersey beans to the skillet with the cabbage. Pour the peanut sauce over the noodles, cabbage and beans. Toss gently to coat everything evenly.
6
Serve immediately, garnished with sesame seeds and fresh coriander.

Chef's Tips

For extra protein, add tofu or tempeh to the skillet along with the cabbage.

Adjust the amount of red pepper flakes to control the spiciness.

If the peanut sauce becomes too thick while cooking, add a little more water or Jersey milk to thin it out.

Substitute other seasonal Jersey vegetables, such as kale or broccoli, for the cabbage.

Try adding a squeeze of lime juice for extra zest.
