Versatile Greenery Stir Fry
STIR-FRIED… BOK CHOY AND/OR (CHINESE) CABBAGE AND/OR KALE AND/OR LEEKS AND/OR be creative
A recipe like this is extremely versatile. Many greens will stir fry well, bringing out new flavors other than its raw taste. Mix and match your greens or other vegetables as desired, I’ve left some suggestions above, but the possibilities are plentiful!
1 lb bok choy
3 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 lb Savory or Napa cabbage, cored and thinly sliced
1 teaspoon Asian sesame oil (If you don’t have sesame oil in your pantry, other oils will suffice but change the flavor slightly)
1 teaspoon sesame seeds, toasted (optional)
Trim 1/8 inch from bottom of bok choy, then quarter lengthwise and thinly slice crosswise.
Heat a 14-inch flat-bottomed wok or 12-inch heavy skillet over high heat until a drop of water evaporates instantly. Pour vegetable oil down side of wok, swirling to coat sides. Add garlic and stir-fry 10 seconds. Add cabbage and 1/4 teaspoon salt and stir-fry 3 minutes. Add bok choy and stir-fry until ribs are crisp-tender, about 4 minutes. Serve drizzled with sesame oil and sprinkled with sesame seeds. Serves 4 to 6
