CHEUNG FUN PEANUT SAUCE RECIPES

Steps:

• If noodles were refrigerated, soak package in warm water for 30 minutes to an hour prior to cooking.
• Steam rice noodles according to package instructions (I typically steam for 10 minutes or until softened).
• In a small bowl, add the hoisin sauce, soy sauce, sugar and water and mix until well blended.
• In a separate small bowl, mix the peanut butter with the boiling water. (You may add more or less peanut butter or water, to taste, and mix until desired consistency is reached.)
• When noodles are cooked, remove and top with both sauces and optional sesame seeds and/or chili sauce.
• Serve immediately. Enjoy!

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of salted water to boil. Add the rice cakes and cook for 2 to 3 minutes, until softened. Drain and refresh under cold water.
• Meanwhile, make the peanut sauce: In a medium bowl, place the peanut butter, hot water, sugar, garlic and soy sauce, and whisk together until combined. Set aside.
• Heat a large (12-inch) nonstick skillet or wok on medium high. (Check the drained rice cakes. If they are sticking together, rinse them with cold water and gently toss to separate before adding them to the pan.) When the pan is hot, add the neutral oil and rice cakes, and toss to combine. Add soy sauce and stir-fry for 6 to 8 minutes, until the rice cakes begin to caramelize. (If more than a few clump together, add a tablespoon of water at a time and break them up with your spatula.) Add the yu choy and cook for another 3 to 4 minutes, until the greens are wilted. Turn off heat, add the peanut sauce and toss to coat.
• To serve, drizzle with the diluted hoisin sauce, scatter with scallions and finish with sesame seeds.
