List of Ingredients



• 2 teaspoons sesame seeds
  
• 2 teaspoons rice wine vinegar
  
• 2 teaspoons sugar
  
• 1 1/2 tablespoons soy sauce
  
• 1 tablespoon sesame oil
  
• 2 medium galic cloves -- minced

• 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
  
• 2 pounds tender greens, such as spinach, beet greens, or Swiss chard -- cleaned and stemmed (water left clinging to the leaves after washing)
  






Instructions



1. In small skillet over medium heat, toast the sesame seeds until fragrant, 2 to 3 minutes, transfer to a small bowl.
   
   
2. Mix vinegar, sugar, soy sauce, and sesame oil together in a small bowl; set aside.
   
   
3. Heat garlic and red pepper flakes with vegetable oil in a large saute pan or dutch oven over med-high heat. When garlic sizzles and starts to turn golden add wet greens, cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until completely wilted but still bright green, 3 to 5 minutes. Uncover and cook until most of liquid evaporates, about 2 minutes longer. When liquid has almost evaporated, add vinegar mixture and saute until almost evaporated, about 1 minute more. Sprinkle sesame seeds over greens and serve immediately.
