Serving Ideas : Before you begin the recipe, bring a large pot of water to boil.

Cook some rice noodles or soba (buckwheat) noodles according to package

directions. Drain and toss with a little dark sesame oil. Serve hot with the

broccoli rabe.

 

NOTES : You can substitute bok choy for broccoli rabe in this recipe. It isn't

necessary to parboil bok choy first, but you will need to stir-fry the white

portions for a few minutes before adding the dark green leafy parts to the wok
