Stir-Fried Vegetables with Garlic

The Swallow loves to eat vegetables. In salads; steamed and tossed with some simple seasoning; boiled with meat as a soup, or like today, stir-fried with some minced garlic.

Ingredients

500 g green leafy vegetables, cleaned and cut into bite-sized pieces
3 cloves of garlic, minced (more if you love them!)
1 tbsp oil
a little water (if necessary)
1 tsp sea salt or to taste

Method

1. Heat the wok with the oil over a high fire, until the wok is smoking (this gives the 'wok hei' flavour to the dish).
2. Add the garlic. Turn down the fire to medium high and stir-fry the garlic until aromatic.
3. Add the cut vegetables and stir-fry continuously until they are limp.
4. Sprinkle with a little water if necessary.

Notes

Hardier vegetables like broccoli may also be used, but parboil these in hot water for a couple of minutes before stir-frying them.
