Stir Fry Kale

One of my quick side dish. I am trying to get more vegetables in our family meals. It is difficult with children that despise anything green (or orange or purple...)

I love working with Kale. I just recently discovered this vegetable while having a casual conversation with my sister. I did a quick search and found this vegetable to be very nutritious. The good thing,  it is so easy to cook Kale. It can be used in soups, pasta sauce, and even stir fry. It does not taste bad or smell weird. Just plain simple and a pretty good texture too. 

I did this quick stir fry on one of the weekday dinner meals.

Ingredients:
- whole bunch of Kale (around 5AUD each bunch)
- 2 cloves of garlic
- Seasoning of Soy Sauce, Chinese Wine, Pepper

Method:
- Wash the Kale
- I only use the leaves as the stalk is so hard!
- Chopped all garlic and make the seasoning and set aside
- Heat up oil in pan
- Stir fry garlic until fragrant
- Toss Kale in and wait till it settles (the leaves can consume alot of space before it is cooked)
- Pour in seasoning sauce
- Once Kale turns bright green, it is happy and done. Do a few stirs and it is ready to be served.



This just half of the leaves. I do need a bigger pan to fry this. It was as high as a mountain.

Cover it and let it cook a while. The leaves will soften and there will be enough space.

Look at that vibrant green colour. I just love it.
Done.
