Sesame greens

By request, for Miss Amanda...

4-5 Choy Sum (Chinese broccoli). I buy these in my local woollies in a packet - sometimes there are 2 large ones, other times 5 small. Use the whole pack! Pull it apart and wash well.

3 cloves garlic, finely sliced

Asparagus, snow peas, broccoli...Whatever crisp greens you have on hand

Sunflower oil

Soy sauce

Sesame seeds

Cracked pepper


1. Chop all the veg:
Today I used Chinese brocc, broad beans and asparagus. 



And here it is chopped :)


2. Heat oil in a hot wok

3. Add all of the vegetables.


4. Stir fry - keep the heat high and move the veg around - for about 2-3 mins. The leaves will wilt and give off water. You want the rest of the veg to still have a bit if crunch when you're done cooking.


5. Towards the end of the cooking time, add 1-2 teaspoons sesame seed and 1-2 tablespoons soy sauce. Mix it all around! Add (optional) pepper.

6. Serve and enjoy. I prefer to serve this in individual bowls, so when you eat it, you can slurp up all the yummy sauce and it doesn't make a mess of your plate!

Enjoy x
