Home-Style Panda Express Super Greens

Instructions

1. 1

   Wash and prepare all vegetables: Cut broccoli into florets, and thinly slice the tender parts of the stem. Remove tough stems from kale and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice or shred the cabbage.

2. 2

   Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add vegetable oil.

3. 3

   Add minced garlic and grated ginger (if using) to the hot oil. Sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.

4. 4

   Add broccoli florets and sliced stems to the pan. Stir-fry for 2-3 minutes until they start to turn bright green and become slightly tender-crisp.

5. 5

   Add the thinly sliced cabbage to the pan. Continue to stir-fry for another 2-3 minutes, tossing occasionally, until the cabbage begins to soften.

6. 6

   Add the chopped kale and 2-3 tablespoons of water or vegetable broth to the pan. Cover immediately to steam the kale for 1-2 minutes, or until wilted and tender-crisp.

7. 7

   Remove the lid. Add soy sauce (if using) and sesame oil (if using). Stir well to combine all ingredients and seasonings.

8. 8

   Taste and season with salt and freshly ground black pepper as needed. Serve immediately as a healthy side dish.
