Chinese Style Greens Recipe
This is a fabulous greens recipe, done Chinese style. I call it a greens recipe rather than a kale recipe, bok choy recipe or chard recipe because you can use any of those, a mix of them or any other green you choose including Chinese cabbage.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 pounds mustard greens, or kale, turnip greens, chard, beet greens, bok choy, or Chinese cabbage, or a mixture of any of them
- 2 tablespoons oil
- 1 clove garlic, minced
- 4 - 5 mushrooms, sliced thinly
- 1 onion, sliced
- 1/2 red pepper, small, sliced
- 1 teaspoon honey
- 2 tablespoons soy sauce, optional
Instructions
- Wash the greens thoroughly, shake off excess moisture and cut out the stems. Shred the leaves coarsely with a sharp knife.
- Heat the oil in a wok or large skillet. Add the garlic, mushrooms, red peppers and onions. Cook until the onion is slightly soft, then add the greens. Cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until the greens are wilted.
- Add the honey and soy sauce, cover and cook over low heat until the greens are tender, about 10 minutes for mustard or turnip greens, about 5 minutes for other greens.
- Serve at once.
Notes
Note:
The addition of the honey is optional but really rounds out the flavors.
