cooking learning: Sauteed Greens

In the battle against the greens, this is our favorite quick win. Not so good for lettuce, but you can quickly conquer a whole bag of spinach as a side dish with this classic.


large pan
stirring utensil

spinach (or any substantial leafy green)
oil
butter
salt
lemon juice

Heat the pan and add just a bit of oil and butter, equal parts. Keep heat high.

Dump in all greens and stir. They will wilt and shrink quickly.

Salt and continue cooking until softened to your liking (mind the stems).

Plate and drizzle with lemon juice.

Eat immediately.



for dinner: Won Ton Soup

(I can’t find the source of this recipe found online. Here is what I did.)

4 oz frozen shrimp, finely chopped
1 egg yolk, beaten
1/2 c. bok choy, finely chopped
1/2 c. onion, finely chopped
1 T. soy sauce
1/2 t. sugar
1″ chopped ginger
1/4 t. salt
1/8 t. pepper
20 won ton skins
chicken broth (1 cup for each bowl)
spinach (handful for each bowl)
chili sauce
fish sauce
scallions

Combine shrimp, egg, bok choy, onion, soy sauce, ginger, sugar, salt, and pepper. Put chicken broth on to boil. Spoon just under 1T off center on the won ton, roll and press with wet fingers to seal. Gently drop won tons into boiling stock for 3-5 minutes (cook only those you are serving immediately).

Place spinach into each bowl and chop scallions. Pour broth over spinach to wilt and divide won tons. Top with scallions and serve with chili sauce, fish sauce, and soy sauce to flavor broth.
