Spicy Orange Greens

By devogirl

Recipe Description: Serves 2 - The slightly spicy orange sauce in this dish in this dish is one of my favorites. You can serve it with any greens you like or have on hand, but collard greens are my favorite to use here. Broccoli florets may also be substituted. For a complete meal, serve over or tossed with soba noodles.

Chef's Note: Soba noodles are Japanese noodles made from buckwheat flour. they are thin, somewhat like linguine, which can be substituted.

Ingredients

• 3 oz soba noodles (optional)
• 1/3 c water
• 2 tbsp low-sodium soy sauce
• 2 tbsp minced fresh ginger
• 1/4 tsp red pepper flakes
• 1 tbsp orange marmalade
• 4 c greens, chopped

Preparation

Step 1

1) Prepare noodles (if using) according to package instructions and set aside.
2) Pour water, low-sodium soy sauce, ginger, and red pepper flakes into a skillet. Turn heat to high and saute ginger until fragrant, about a minute.
3) Whisk in marmalade and then add greens.
4) Reduce heat to medium and using tongs, flip the greens in the saucepan until they are bright green and have softened.
5) Toss the greens together with noodles, if using. Alternatively, toss sauce with cooked broccoli and noodles and serve.
