Steps:
- Thoroughly rinse the kale in cold water, soaking it in the water if it seems gritty or sandy. Tear the leaves into chunks and discard the stems.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and quickly stir it around to avoid burning. Throw in the kale and use tongs to move it around the skillet. Sprinkle in plenty of salt and pepper and the red pepper flakes. Continue cooking until the kale is slightly wilted but still a little crisp, about 2 minutes. Drizzle over some sesame oil and toss.
- Transfer the kale to a plate and serve it to anyone who has a hankering for a huge dose of beta-carotene and vitamin K!

Tips:
- Choose the right kale. Curly kale is the best type of kale to use for this recipe. It has a sturdy texture that holds up well to frying.
- Wash the kale thoroughly. Be sure to remove any dirt or grit from the kale leaves before frying them.
- Dry the kale thoroughly. This will help the batter adhere to the kale and prevent it from becoming soggy.
- Use a light batter. A heavy batter will weigh down the kale and make it greasy.
- Fry the kale in hot oil. This will help the batter cook quickly and evenly.
- Drain the kale on paper towels. This will help to remove any excess oil.
- Season the kale with salt and pepper. You can also add other spices, such as garlic powder or onion powder, to taste.
