chinese-stir-fried-greens

Although many Chinese-American restaurants serve stir-fried mixed vegetables in a thick, starchy sauce, this simpler preparation is much more likely what you'll find in Chinese homes. Simple green vegetables, often slightly bitter, are cut into bite-size pieces and quickly stir-fried with chopped garlic to tenderize slightly but maintain their structure. A bit of soy sauce is all the flavor you need, with a taste of toasted sesame oil stirred in for a finishing touch. Make sure to keep the garlic chunky, so it doesn't burn.
