Amount Measure Ingredient -- Preparation Method
-------- ------------ --------------------------------
3/4 pound kale
3 tsp. canola oil
1/3c. walnuts, coarsely chopped
2 large garlic cloves, coarsely chopped
2 quarter size slices of fresh ginger
1/4 tsp. red pepper flakes, or to taste
2 carrots, peeled and cut into thin matchsticks
2 to 4 Tbsp. water, chicken or vegetable stock (optional)
sea salt or soy sauce to taste
Wash the kale and strip the leaves off the stalks, discard the stalks.Cut the kale into 1/8 inch strips. Cut slices in half. Set aside
Heat a large wok over medium-high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of oil to the pan and swirl around to coat the bottom of the wok. Add the walnuts to toast, stirring constantly, for about 1 minute. Set aside to drain on a paper towel.
Add the remaining oil to the wok. Swirl again. Add the garlic and ginger and stir fry for 10 seconds. Add the red pepper flakes and the carrots and stir fry for 1 minute.
Add the shredded kale and toss well to coat with oil. Press down on the kale, cover, and let cook for 30 seconds. Stir fry again and then cover. Cook for 3 minutes longer, stirring contents of pan about every minute to avoid burning the kale. The steam generated should be enough to complete the cooking process, but 2 Tbsp. water or stock can be added if desired to increase steam and tenderness of kale. Taste and season with salt or soy sauce. Remove ginger slices and serve hot, garnished with the walnuts.
Serves 3-4
