Mizoram Bawng Chhum Wild Greens Garlic Mizo Forest Stir

Method

1. 1

   Wash all greens thoroughly. Roughly chop larger leaves.

2. 2

   Leave smaller tender ones whole.

3. 3

   Heat 1 tbsp oil in a wide pan or wok on medium-high.

4. 4

   Add thinly sliced garlic — fry 1 minute until golden.

5. 5

   Add sliced green chillies. Stir 20 seconds.

6. 6

   Add all the greens at once. Add turmeric.

7. 7

   Toss on high heat without covering — covering causes steaming which makes greens watery.

8. 8

   Stir-fry on high heat for 5 to 6 minutes until all greens are wilted, cooked through and any moisture has evaporated.

9. 9

   Add soy sauce. Toss. Season with salt — add carefully as soy sauce already provides saltiness.

10. 10

    Serve immediately with steamed rice.
