Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp sesame oil
  • 1 tbsp minced garlic
  • 8 oz washed and chopped kale (I like the pre bagged kind)
  • 1-2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 dash red pepper flakes
  • 3 shakes ground black pepper

Instructions

  • Heat the sesame oil in a large frying pan over medium high heat until shimmering and fragrant.
  • Add the minced garlic and spread around the pan evenly.
  • Add the kale to the pan and use tongs to begin moving it around the pan, taking care not to drop leaves outside of the pan.
    seasoned kale
  • Drizzle the soy sauce evenly around the pan. It will sizzle, but this will begin to wilt the greens. Reduce the heat to medium.
  • Use tongs to move the greens around the pan for no more than two minutes. You'll see the greens visibly reduce.
    seasoned kale
  • Season to taste with the red pepper flakes and ground black pepper. 
  • Remove from heat and serve. Garnish with additional pepper(s) as desired.
