- 2 tablespoons soy sauce
- 2 teaspoons sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 0.5 teaspoons red pepper flakes
- 1 teaspoon sesame seeds

Directions
Step 1
Wash the kale thoroughly under cold running water, remove the tough stems, and chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
Step 2
Peel the ginger and garlic. Finely mince the ginger, and thinly slice the garlic.

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, sesame oil, and water. Set aside.

Add the minced ginger and sliced garlic to the hot oil. Stir fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
Step 6
Add the chopped kale to the skillet. Stir quickly to coat the leaves in the oil and aromatics.

Pour the soy sauce mixture over the kale and continue to stir fry for 5-7 minutes until the kale is wilted and tender but still vibrant green.

Sprinkle red pepper flakes over the kale for a touch of heat, and mix well.
