Beet Greens and Noodles

A great recipe using beet greens and stems. I usually use Farkay® noodles from the Asian section of the supermarket, but a Japanese Somen noodle or even a spaghetti noodle would work well too.

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• 1 onion, diced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 stalks celery, diced
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• 1 (8 ounce) package spaghetti
• 1 teaspoon fish sauce
• 1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger, peeled and grated
• 2 tablespoons white wine (Optional)
• 1 bunch beet greens and stems, chopped

Recipe Instructions

Step 1

Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Cook spaghetti in the boiling water until cooked through yet firm to the bite, about 12 minutes; drain.

Step 2

Heat vegetable oil in a large skillet. Cook and stir celery and onion in hot oil until soft, 5 to 7 minutes. Pour white wine over the celery mixture; add ginger and garlic and toss to mix. Stir beet greens and stems, soy sauce, sesame oil, and fish sauce into the celery mixture; simmer together about 5 minutes. Add drained spaghetti to the skillet; toss to coat with the sauce. Cover the skillet and continue cooking until the beet greens are tender, about 5 minutes.
