Prep Time: 5 mins | Cook Time: 5 mins
Ingredients
- 1 tbsp fresh ginger, minced
- ½ tbsp safflower oil (or any neutral oil)
- ¼ lb kale, stems removed, chopped (about 4 cups packed)
- 1 tsp soy sauce (or tamari for gluten-free)
- ¼ cup water
- 1 tsp toasted sesame seeds (optional, for garnish)
Substitutions:
- Kale → Spinach or bok choy (adjust cooking time: spinach wilts faster!)
Directions
- Sauté Ginger:
- Heat oil in a skillet over medium heat. Add ginger and stir 1 minute until fragrant.
- Stir-Fry Kale:
- Increase heat to medium-high. Add kale and toss to coat in oil.
- Pour in soy sauce and water. Stir-fry 2–3 minutes until kale is bright green and tender-crisp (add more water if needed).
- Finish & Serve:
- Sprinkle with sesame seeds.
- Serve warm as a side dish or chilled for salads.
Why This Works:
- Quick & Healthy: Packed with iron and antioxidants.
- Versatile: Swap greens based on what’s in your fridge.
- Umami Boost: Soy sauce + ginger = big flavor with minimal effort.
Pairs perfectly with grilled tofu or salmon! 🥢🌿
Tip: For extra crunch, add a drizzle of sesame oil before serving.
