Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

-------- ------------ --------------------------------

4 tablespoons light sesame oil

- or olive oil

2 tablespoons white hulled sesame seeds

2 teaspoons black sesame seeds -- optional

4 teaspoons fresh ginger root -- peeled and minced

2 cloves garlic -- minced

2 pounds tender Asian greens -- coarsely chopped

- baby bok choy or watercress

- tatsoi or mizuna

2 tablespoons naturally brewed soy sauce

4 teaspoons rice vinegar

 

These tender greens cook very quickly. Make sure you add the vinegar

just prior to seeing or the greens will lose their fantastic emerald

sheen.

 

In a wide heavy saute pan or wok over medium heat, warm the oil. Add

the sesame seeds and stir until they pop and become fragrant. Add the

ginger and garlic and saute for 1 more minute.

 

Add the greens and 1 tablespoon soy sauce, raise the heat, and cook,

covered, for 1 minute. Uncover and saute for 1 to 2 minutes more,

until the greens are tender but still bright green.

 

Stir in more soy sauce and vinegar to taste, and serve immediately.
