In this dish a variety of greens, including red chard, beet greens and Swiss chard, are left al dente for you to appreciate the herblike, appealingly bitter flavor. You may use a premixed variety, or use your favorite green alone, or in combination. For an added crunchy texture, toss in one cup of whole roasted cashews after adding the dressing.

How To Make asian braised greens & spicy asian dressing

  • 1
    To prepare dressing: Whisk together the soy sauce, sesame and canola oils, black and white sesame seeds, lime juice, ginger, garlic, brown sugar, red chili flakes, cilantro and scallions in a small bowl.
  • 2
    Bring 2 quarts of water to a boil in a large saucepan. Add the chard and bok choy, cooking just until wilted but still bright in color, about 30 seconds to 1 minute. Drain.
  • 3
    Just before serving, pour the dressing over the greens and toss lightly. Serve immediately. The greens may be cooked, rinse immediately in ice-cold water and refrigerate for up to 2 days before serving.
  • 4
    When ready to serve, heat the greens for 2 minutes in a microwave, or heat in a large saute pan in 1/8 cup of water or 1 tablespoon of canola oil. Add the dressing to the heated greens and serve.
