Stir-Fried Greens with Garlic
Feel free to substitute any tender green in this recipe. Serves 4.
1 head pac choi, roughly chopped with bottom end removed
1 bunch kale, mibuna, or radish greens chopped into 2 pieces
3 tablespoons cooking oil, such as sunflower or peanut
4 garlic scapes chopped fine, or 4 cloves garlic minced
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon dried red pepper flakes, optional
Wash greens and spin dry, or wrap in towel to blot excess moisture. Heat oil in a large heavy bottomed skillet or wok over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add garlic and salt, saute about 1 minute. Add greens and red pepper flakes, if using, and toss all to coat well. Increase the heat slightly and continue to toss the greens while they cook. Cook just until the leaves begin to wilt, but there is still strong green color in the leaves. Remove from heat, adjust seasonings and serve.
