Ingredients:

FOR THE SAUCE
*3 cups water
*10 crushed garlic cloves
*5 tbsp peanut butter
*3 tbsp soy sauce
*2 tbsp apple cider vinegar
*3 tbsp date paste/blended dates
*1 tbsp sesame seeds
*1/4 tsp cayenne powder
*1/4 tsp salt

FOR THE NOODLES
*500g whole-wheat noodles
*2 sliced medium-sized onion
*2 cups julienne carrots
*4 cups julienne chards (stem and leaf separated)
*3 cups shredded red cabbage

Instructions: 

*In a large pot, cook the noodles according to the package instructions.  Once ready, drain water and set aside.
*Meanwhile, put the onions, carrots, and stems of chards in a medium pot with a little bit of water.  Cover and steam until the carrots start softening up but are still crunchy.  Add the leaves of chards and steam for 5 minutes.  Add the cabbage and steam for 5 minutes.  Turn off the heat and set aside
*While the vegetables are cooking, bring all of the sauce ingredients to a boil in a small pot.  Turn down the heat to achieve a simmer.  Adjust the saltiness and sweetness to taste.  Turn off the heat and set aside.
*Once all the components of the recipe are ready, pour the sauce and stir the vegetables in the large pot with the noodles.  Mix together until every noodle and vegetable is coated in the sauce.

Serving:

Place some noodles on a plate, and pick out a few vegetables to top.  Sprinkle sesame seeds for extra nuttiness.
