Cold Sesame Noodles with Broccoli and Kale

Cold Sesame Noodles with Broccoli and Kale

Instead of deep-frying the broccoli in this sesame noodles recipe, we used a high-heat roasting method.

Prep Time 25 minutes
Cook Time 1 hour 15 minutes
Total Time 1 hour 40 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1 large head of broccoli, cut into large florets with some stalk attached
  • 2 garlic cloves, 1 finely grated, 1 thinly sliced, divided
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons sambal oelek
  • 1 tablespoon plus 1/2 cup sherry vinegar or red wine vinegar, divided
  • 3/4 cup vegetable oil, divided
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt, plus more
  • 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, plus more
  • 3 scallions, green parts only, thinly sliced, plus more for serving
  • 1 (3-inch) piece ginger, peeled, cut into 1-inch matchsticks
  • 4 cups chopped Tuscan kale leaves
  • 2 (10-ounce) packages fresh ramen noodles or 2 (3-ounce) packages dried
  • Torn mint leaves and toasted sesame seeds (for serving)

Instructions

Preheat oven to 450°F. Toss broccoli with grated garlic, sambal oelek, 1 Tbsp. vinegar, and 1/4 cup oil on a rimmed baking sheet; season with salt and pepper. Roast, tossing occasionally, until tender and browned in spots, 20–25 minutes.

Meanwhile, whisk scallions, ginger, sliced garlic, 1 tsp. salt, 1/4 tsp. pepper, and remaining 1/2 cup vinegar and 1/2 cup oil in a large bowl. Add kale; toss to coat. Let sit at room temperature at least 15 minutes and up to 1 hour.

Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain; rinse under cold water. Add noodles and warm broccoli to kale and toss to coat. Divide among bowls and top with mint, sesame seeds, and more scallions.
