Sambal oelek is an Asian ingredient made with chiles, vinegar and a little salt and just a small bit of this tasty sauce takes this cold noodle dish to flavor heights you won’t want to miss. While the flavors need a little time to meld together and permeate the noodles, the working time on this recipe is super short.
Whisk sambal oelek, scallions, ginger, sliced garlic, 1 tsp. salt, ¼ tsp. pepper, and vinegar and oil in a large bowl. Add kale and broccoli; toss to coat. Let sit at room temperature at least 15 minutes and up to 1 hour.
Cook noodles according to package directions. Drain; rinse under cold water. Add noodles and broccoli and kale and toss to coat. Divide among bowls and top with mint, sesame seeds, and more scallions.
