Categories     Vegetables

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 1/2 to 3 pounds collard greens
2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
3 to 4 cloves garlic, minced
2 tablespoons oyster sauce, mixed with 2 tablespoons water
1/2 teaspoon sugar
1/4 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
salt and pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. .Wash the collard greens and trim the hard ends off. Cut the leaves into small pieces, approximately 2 inches by 2 inches. 2.Prepare a large bowl of ice water and set aside. 3.Bring a pot of water to boil. Working in 2 or 3 batches, blanch the greens for 1 minute (begin counting after the water returns to a boil.) Immediately transfer the greens to the ice water to cool. Drain well, then squeeze out the excess water with your hands. Spread the greens on kitchen towels and pat them dry, as the excess water will cause the oil in the wok to spit. Repeat with the remaining batch(es). 4.Heat a wok over medium-high heat until a drop of water evaporates on contact. Add the oil and swirl to coat the bottom. Add the garlic and stir-fry until aromatic, about 30 seconds. Add the greens and stir-fry for 1 minute. Stir in the oyster sauce mixture, sugar, and optional red pepper flakes. Lower the heat to medium-low and allow the greens to cook for another 3 to 4minutes, stirring occasionally. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Transfer the greens to a plate and serve.

Categories     side-dish

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 4

2 pounds fresh collard greens
3 tablespoons pure olive oil
1 medium-size onion, minced
2 cloves garlic, minced

Steps:

  • Wash the collards thoroughly and bunch it together. Take each bunch, roll it tightly, and cut in crosswise into thin strips. Wash the strips and drain them thoroughly. Heat the oil in a large, heavy skillet over medium heat, then cook the onion and garlic, stirring them until they are lightly browned. Add the kale strips and cook, stirring for 5 minutes so that the greens are soft, but retain their bright green color. Serve hot.

Tips:

  • Prep Your Collard Greens: Before cooking, remove any tough stems from the collard greens and roughly chop the leaves. This will help them cook evenly.
  • Use High Heat: Stir-frying requires high heat to quickly cook the greens and prevent them from becoming limp. Make sure your pan or wok is nice and hot before adding the greens.
  • Don't Overcrowd the Pan: To ensure even cooking, don't overcrowd the pan with collard greens. Cook them in batches if necessary.
  • Add Aromatics and Spices: Enhance the flavor of your stir-fried collard greens by adding aromatic ingredients like garlic, ginger, and onions. You can also incorporate spices like cumin, coriander, or red pepper flakes.
  • Add a Splash of Liquid: A small amount of liquid, such as water, broth, or rice wine, can help prevent the greens from sticking and burning. It also adds moisture and flavor.
  • Cook Until Tender: Stir-fry the collard greens until they are tender but still have a slight crunch. Overcooking can make them mushy.
  • Serve Immediately: Stir-fried collard greens are best served immediately while they are still hot and flavorful. You can garnish them with fresh herbs, sesame seeds, or a squeeze of lemon juice.

Conclusion:

Stir-fried collard greens are a delicious, nutritious, and versatile dish that can be enjoyed as a side or main course. With its vibrant green color, slightly bitter taste, and tender texture, it's a great way to incorporate more leafy greens into your diet. Whether you prefer a simple preparation with garlic and olive oil or a more elaborate version with aromatic spices and a splash of soy sauce, stir-fried collard greens are sure to satisfy your taste buds.
