Directions
-
Make sauce
Add all "Stir Fry Sauce" ingredients to a jar and shake to combine. Set aside.
-
Chop vegetables
Chop all vegetables. No need to chop collards or swiss chard (they will wilt and get smaller when cooked).
-
Heat pan
Heat a large heavy bottom pan or cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat and add 2 tablespoons of oil.
-
Stir fry vegetables
Once the oil is hot, add vegetables one by one, and stir fry for a minute before adding the next vegetable. Consider the order you add the vegetables - thick, tough veggies first, and soft greens last.
-
Add salt and peper
Add salt and pepper, and stir fry until tender but crispy, about 4 minutes.
-
Reduce heat
Reduce heat to medium. Add sauce to the vegetables and cook for about 2 more minutes.
-
Serve
Serve over rice.

Garnish and enjoy
Top with sesame seeds and chopped garlic chives. Enjoy!
