Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method

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

3 bunches watercress -- (to 4) -- about 10 cups

salt

2 tablespoons sesame or peanut oil

1 teaspoon dark sesame oil

1 tablespoon minced ginger

1 clove garlic -- minced

1 jalapeno chile OR 2 pinches red pepper

flakes -- seeded & minced

 

Trim and discard any tough or ragged stems from the watercress. Bring 3 quarts

of water to a boil and add 1 tablespoon of salt, then the watercress. Cook

until it turns bright green -- 1 minute should be fine -- then rinse with cold

water and pour into a colander. Gently press out the excess water.

 

Heat the wok, add the oils, and turn to coat the sides of the wok. When a haze

forms, add the ginger, garlic, and chile and stir-fry for 30 seconds. Add the

watercress and stir-fry until heated through, about 2 to 3 minutes.
