Korean Greens

Aunt Cookie's Note:

This is my favorite way to eat greens. You don't cook them for too long, so they retain most of their nutrients, too.

Excellent recipe to go with the Korean burgers I made tonight! I added a Tablespoon of sugar, a dash of pepper and 1 less TBS of oil and then heated up the sauce as I drained the spinach. I also added a shredded red long chile pepper (mild). My husband loved this too!

Loved, loved, loved this dish! It was the exact flavor that I was looking for and paired fabulously with Korean Style Short Ribs #266161. Thank you, this side dish made my meal perfect!

An easy, versatile way to eat greens. Besides being nutritious, the stir fry is vivid and attractive. As another reviewer noted, I only made enough for one, so cut back the sauce to about 1-2 teaspoons per each sauce ingredient. That worked out well. Also used CutNClean bagged greens (European blend)--they bag many types of greens, and any of them would work nicely with this. I like the suggestion of using the recipe as a bed to hold an entree, but it works just as well as a separate side dish. Thanks, Aunt Cookie!
