Salad of Char grilled Asian Greens Recipe

Salad of Char grilled Asian Greens

My favourite way to Chinese Greens is by steaming and char-grilling. Both methods allow the vegetables to retain their flavour, colour and texture. The freshest of greens are needed as the cooking time is quick.

Asian Greens

750g small mixed Asian Greens, trimmed washed and cut in half or thirds (dependant on size)
2-3cm piece of ginger, peeled and finely chopped
2 garlic cloves, crushed
2 tsp sesame oil
3 tbsp olive oil
1 tbsp soy sauce

2 spring onions, finely chopped

Method

To Prepare: Place a char-grill (griddle) pan over a high heat or heat a barbecue until hot.
Place the asian greens in a large bowl with the ginger, garlic, sesame oil, olive oil and soy sauce. toss the greens so that the ingredients are well distributed.
To Cook: Cook the greens in batches for 2 minutes in the hot grill pan or bbq, turning halfway through the cooking time. The vegetables should be just cooked, tender and still green. Reserve the marinade.
To Serve:Place the Asian Greens on a large plate, drizzle over any remaining marinade and scatter over the spring onions. You may wish to add a little more sesame oil and/or soy sauce. Serve hot or cold.
