Kale Salad With Peanut Sauce image

I eat this salad at M Cafe de Chaya every time I have a chance; this is my attempt to recreate the recipe here with help from a lot of internet searching- I found a video of the chef making this recipe on a blog. The amounts are very approximate; I haven't tested this at home yet.

Time 12m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

3 bunches kale
1/4 cup crunchy peanut butter
1 tablespoon minced garlic
1 tablespoon grated fresh ginger
1 pinch salt
2 tablespoons brown rice syrup or 2 tablespoons honey
1/4 cup seasoned rice vinegar
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 pinch cayenne pepper
1/2 red onion
chopped peanuts

Steps:

  • Take the Kale off the stalks and blanch in boiling salted water for 2 minutes.
  • Take it out of the boiling water and put it into an ice water bath to stop cooking and keep kale bright green.
  • Make the dressing: combine garlic, ginger, salt, brown rice syrup, brown rice vinegar, soy sauce, and cayenne pepper in a blender until smooth.
  • If it is too thick, add hot water 1 tbsp at a time until dressing is desired consistency.
  • Remove kale from water and drain as much water out as possible. If you want, you can use paper towels to get more water out.
  • Toss with the dressing and mix in some red onions sliced very thinly and chopped peanuts.
  • There may be some dressing left over- it will keep in the fridge for a few days.
