INGREDIENTS:

For the Sauce

• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
• Ground black pepper, to taste
• 1 teaspoon sugar
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce

For the Greens

• 150g tender stem broccoli
• 200g pak choi

• 2 tablespoons oil

INSTRUCTIONS:

Now, let’s get cooking these delectable Wagamama Skillet Greens:

1. Prepare the Sauce: In a small mixing bowl, combine the sesame oil, ground black pepper, sugar, and soy sauce. Set this flavorful sauce aside for later.
2. Heat Things Up: In a skillet or cooking pan, add the oil and heat it over medium heat.
3. Sauté the Aromatic Garlic: Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté it for about thirty seconds. Keep an eye on it to prevent overcooking; you want it to turn golden brown and fragrant.
4. Combine the Greens: Now, it’s time to add the star ingredients. Toss in the tender stem broccoli and pak choi into the pan.
5. Stir-Fry to Perfection: Stir-fry the veggies in the flavorful oil for around five minutes, or until they reach your desired level of doneness. You want them to be slightly caramelized and crisp, with vibrant colors.
6. Season to Taste: Taste the greens and adjust the flavor as needed. If you desire more savory goodness, feel free to drizzle on some extra soy sauce.

TIPS:

• Preparation is Key: Make sure all your ingredients are prepped and ready to go before you start cooking. This recipe comes together quickly, so having everything at hand will help you stay organized.
• Don’t Overcook the Garlic: The garlic adds a wonderful aroma and flavor to the dish, but be cautious not to overcook it. Golden brown and aromatic is the sweet spot, as burnt garlic can turn bitter.
• Adjust the Spice: The level of spiciness can be tailored to your liking. If you prefer it hotter, add more soy sauce or even a pinch of red pepper flakes. Taste as you go to find your perfect balance.
