Watercress Stir-Fry image

Delicate watercress often gets the salad or garnish treatment, but it offers far more than just a sprinkle of peppery flavor. Harness its nutritional power in this energizing stir-fry, where ginger, garlic, and sesame oil impart bold flavor and the watercress brings antioxidants and calcium.

I made this dish with tofu instead of chicken and it was delicious. The tofu absorbed the flavors of the sauce perfectly.

I'm not a big fan of watercress, but I really enjoyed this dish. The watercress was cooked perfectly and didn't have a strong flavor.

I loved the combination of flavors in this dish. The watercress was peppery and slightly bitter, while the garlic and ginger added a savory warmth. The chicken was tender and juicy.
