Asian sauteed kale with almonds and sesame seeds


We are a kale loving family and and I wanted a new way of making our families favorite vegetable. We made grilled teriyaki chicken thighs, some rice and this delicious sauteed kale. Enjoy!

Here's my recipe for Asian sauteed kale with slivered almonds and sesame seeds.

1 large bunch kale, rinsed, leaved removed, stems discarded
1 tbs. sesame oil
2 cubes each-frozen ginger and garlic
1 tsp. soy sauce
1 small pinch sugar
1/2 C. toasted slivered almonds
1 Tbs. toasted sesame seeds
red pepper flakes (optional)

Heat oil in a large nonstick pan on medium high heat. When oil is sizzling, add kale and stir to combine. Add in frozen herbs and continue cooking until kale has shrunk down and the color has turned a deeper green-about 1 minute.

Add soy sauce and a small pinch of sugar. Continue cooking for another 30 seconds, add almonds and sesame seeds and serve.
