- 2 tsp oil
- 3 cloves garlic minced
- 1 tbsp oyster sauce
- 1 tbsp water
- ½ tsp sugar
- 1 tsp sesame oil
Instructions

- Bring a large pan of salted water to boil. Add the greens to the pan of boiling water. Cook for 1 minute until just tender but still crisp. Remove greens from water and place on plate.

Notes
This recipe is versatile and can be used with many types of greens such as baby bok choy, choy sum, gai lan, spinach and kale.
Be careful when cooking the garlic. It can turn golden very quickly in hot oil and it also continues to cook in residual heat. Stirring constantly cooks the garlic evenly.
