4clovesgarlic, chopped finely
1 bunch (about 8big leaves)chard, or any other leafy green (beet greens are great in this)
8 oz (226 gram)uncooked noodles, (gluten-free if necessary). I like to use soba noodles in this recipe.

3tablespoonsmaple syrup, or agave
1 to 2tablespoonsSrirachaor other similar chili sauce (adjust the amount to suit your spice tolerance)
To serve
OPTIONALchopped cashews or sesame seeds , for garnish
INSTRUCTIONS
Get ready to cook the noodles. Fill a large pan with water and bring to the boil.
Wash the chard leaves then cut the leafy bits from the thick stem. Shred the leaves into bite sized pieces and slice the stems like you would celery. Set aside.
Mix the sauce ingredients up in a small bowl and set aside within easy reach.
Cook the noodles in the boiling water as per the packet instructions. Remember that noodles cook very quickly so make sure everything else is prepped and ready before you do this.
As soon as they are in, heat a wok or skillet over medium high heat and add the oil then the onions and chopped chard stems. Cook for two minute stirring constantly.
Add the garlic and shredded chard leaves. Cook for 1 to 2 more minutes, stirring around frequently.
Drain the noodles and throw them into the pan with the chard etc then pour over the sauce.
Stir to coat everything and give it a minute to warm through then serve immediately sprinkled with some chopped cashews or sesame seeds.
NOTES
Tip - Got beet greens? They work fantastically in this recipe in place of the chard. You can slice up the stems as well as the leaves so you don't waste anything.How to store and reheat
Store any leftover Chard Stir Fry in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. I don't recommend freezing this recipe.
To reheat stir fry in a pan over medium heat or warm up in the microwave. I like to add a couple tablespoons of water to loosen them up a bit as they heat through.
