Ingredients

    Instructions

    1. Heat the Oil:

      • Add Oil: Pour 1 tablespoon of vegetable oil into a large wok or frying pan.
      • Warm Up: Place the pan over medium-high heat. Wait until the oil shimmers slightly—this means it's hot enough.
    2. Cook the Garlic:

      • Add Garlic: Toss in 1 large garlic clove, thinly sliced.
      • Cook: Stir the garlic for about 30 seconds. Keep an eye on it to avoid burning—you're looking for a light golden color and a fragrant aroma.
    3. Add the Kale:

      • Incorporate Kale: Add the 200g bag of kale directly to the pan.
      • Toss: Use tongs or a spatula to mix the kale with the garlicky oil. Stir well for about 2 minutes until the kale begins to wilt.
    4. Steam the Kale:

      • Pour Water: Carefully pour in 100ml of boiling water. This will create steam to cook the kale.
      • Cover: Immediately cover the pan with a lid. Let it cook for 7 minutes—the steam will soften the kale, making it tender and flavorful.
    5. Incorporate the Sauces:

      • Add Sauces: Once the kale is wilted, uncover the pan. Stir in 1 tablespoon of soy sauce and 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce.
      • Mix Well: Toss everything together, making sure the kale is evenly coated with the sauces. Heat for an additional 1-2 minutes until everything is warmed through.
    6. Serve:

      • Transfer: Remove the pan from the heat. Carefully spoon the kale onto a serving dish.
      • Optional Garnish: If desired, sprinkle with sesame seeds or sliced spring onions for an extra touch.
      • Enjoy: Serve hot as a delicious and healthy side dish to accompany your meal!
