Chef's Specialties

  1. 1

    Make the peanut sauce

    In a small bowl, whisk together peanut butter, soy sauce, rice vinegar, and honey. Add minced garlic, minced ginger, and sesame oil. Stir in water gradually until the sauce is smooth and pourable. Taste and adjust with more soy or honey, and add chili flakes if desired.

  2. 2

    Toast the cashews

    In a dry skillet over medium heat, toast cashew nuts until golden and fragrant, about 4-5 minutes. Transfer to a plate to cool.

  3. 3

    Prepare vegetables

    Wash the spinach and pat dry. Slice cucumber into thin rounds. Thinly slice red onion.

  4. 4

    Wilt the spinach

    In a large skillet, heat the sesame oil over medium-high. Add garlic and ginger for 30 seconds, then add spinach. Toss until wilted, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat.

  5. 5

    Assemble and serve

    Spread the wilted spinach on serving plates. Drizzle with peanut sauce. Top with cucumber slices, red onion, and toasted cashews. Garnish with fresh herbs if desired. Serve immediately.
