Spicy Stir-Fried Greens with Peanuts

Quick & Easy Staff Favorite Asian Heritage Diet Vegetarian & Vegan Diet Side Dish Dinner Vegan Vegetarian

This recipe is a recreation of a delicious dish we enjoyed while traveling with other nutrition researchers in China. Sichuan cuisine is known for dried spicy red peppers. Here, we use red pepper flakes as they are more widely accessible at most supermarkets. You can use as little or as much as you’d like, depending on your heat preference.

Ingredients

  • 4 bunches greens (such as spinach, chard, or kale), washed
  • 1 tablespoon low sodium soy sauce
  • 2 teaspoons red pepper flakes 
  • 2 teaspoons sesame oil2 tablespoons canola or peanut oil
  • 4 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1/2 cup roasted, unsalted peanuts

Instructions

  1. Remove the leaves from the stems of the greens and compost or discard the stems. Roughly chop or tear the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
  2. In a small bowl, whisk together the soy sauce, red pepper flakes, and sesame oil and set aside.
  3. Heat a wok or large, deep skillet over medium-high heat for about 30 seconds. Add the canola or peanut oil and swirl to coat the pan. Add the garlic and stir for about 2 minutes.
  4. Add the greens, trying not to crowd the pan too much. You may work in batches if the wok is not big enough to accommodate all of the greens. Cook, stirring often, until the greens start to wilt, about 3 minutes.
  5. Add the soy sauce mixture and peanuts and cook for an additional minute, tossing to combine.
  6. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
