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.

I'm not a big fan of collard greens, but this recipe was surprisingly good. The greens were tender and flavorful, and the sauce was really tasty. I would definitely make this dish again.

This recipe is a great starting point, but I made a few changes to suit my taste. I added a little bit of garlic and ginger to the sauce, and I used a different type of vinegar. The collard greens turned out great, and I really enjoyed the dish.

I followed the recipe exactly, but my collard greens turned out a little too salty. I think I might have added too much soy sauce. Next time, I'll use a little less soy sauce and see how it turns out.

This recipe is a great way to use up collard greens. I had a bunch of collard greens in my fridge that I needed to use up, and this recipe was the perfect solution. The greens turned out great, and I really enjoyed the dish.

These stir-fried collard greens are delicious! I love the combination of flavors and textures. The greens are tender and slightly crunchy, and the sauce is savory and slightly sweet. I will definitely be making this dish again and again.

I love how easy this recipe is to follow. I'm not a very experienced cook, but I was able to make this dish without any problems. The collard greens turned out great, and my husband and I both really enjoyed them.
