Garlicky Kale with Oyster Sauce

This adaptation of a BBC Good Food recipe works as a side dish or, if made in a flat skillet, could become a savory nest for poached eggs. Once the kale is done, use a large spoon to create four egg-shaped divots, then pour an egg into each. Sprinkle with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Reduce the heat to low and cover the pan, checking frequently, until eggs are desired consistency. https://www.bbcgoodfood.com/recipes/chinese-style-kale
Serves 4

Ingredients

• 6 cups stemmed and chopped kale
• 1 tablespoon salt
• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
• 2 large garlic cloves, sliced
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 2 tablespoons oyster sauce
• 2 tablespoons sesame seeds, if desired

Directions

1. Blanch kale: Heat a large pot of water with 1 tablespoon of salt to boiling. Submerge kale in the boiling water for about a minute, then plunge it into cold water to halt cooking. Drain and lay out on a sheet pan to dry (use a kitchen towel to remove most moisture to reduce spattering later.).
2. Heat the oil in a large wok or frying pan, then tip in the garlic and cook for a few seconds. Throw in the kale and toss around the pan to coat in the garlicky oil.
3. Add about ¾ cup water. Cook for about 3-4 minutes more, until kale is cooked through.
4. Stir in the soy and oyster sauces; garnish with sesame seed if desired. Heat through before serving.
