Stir-Fried Kale with Japanese Sesame Seasoning
A delicious and healthy way to enjoy kale, stir-fried with a savory Japanese sesame seasoning.
Ingredients
- 2 tbsp neutral-tasting oil - try grape seed rice bran or sunflower oil
- 1 large bunch of Tuscan kale - trimmed* and cut into thin ribbons
- 2 tsp shoyu or reduced sodium soy sauce, or tamari for a gluten free option
- 1 tbsp mirin
- Toasted sesame oil
- 1 tbsp of Season with Spice’s Japanese Sesame Seasoning
Instructions
- Heat oil in a wok or frying pan, over medium fire. When the oil is hot, add in the kale, stir and toss, making sure every leaf gets in contact with the heat.
- Add in one or two splashes of water as you cook. Once the vegetables begin to turn bright green, add in shoyu and mirin. Continue to cook until the kale ribbons are just cooked and tender-crisp – about a minute or two.
- Taste to test if the texture is fine. You can cook a bit longer if you prefer a softer texture. Swirl in one or two dashes of toasted sesame oil, and then turn the fire off. Dish out into your serving bowl.
- Finally top it with our Japanese Sesame Seasoning, and gently mix in with the kale. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
1. For the best kale to stir-fry, choose the bunch with smaller-sized leaves. They will be more tender and have a milder flavor.
