Lovely late season greens are here!

Treat Asian greens like lettuces. Rinse to hydrate then spin dry or place on towels and gently dry. Store in a salad spinner or in a bag or container with a towel or two to absorb moisture.

Stir-Fry

Chop greens and other vegetables in small pieces. Grate vegetables that are denser: carrots and other root vegetables.

Make a sauce with 1 Tbsp. grated ginger and 1 Tbsp. garlic added to ½ cup soy sauce. Add red pepper flakes or a diced pepper for some spice. Add 1 tsp. of cornstarch, which will thicken the sauce when you add it at the end of the stir-fry.

Stir-fry in a large skillet or wok with oil. Save your olive oil for other uses and use canola or peanut oils that can take high heat. Add the sauce when the vegetables are tender crisp.

Another sauce idea!

Add soy sauce to a fruit or tomato salsa for an interesting taste. Add extra ginger and garlic if desired. Add some cornstarch to thicken.
