Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons canola oil
- 3/4 teaspoon fresh ginger julienned
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 1 pound watercress washed and trimmed
- 1 pinch white pepper
- 1/4 teaspoon sugar
- 1/2 teaspoon salt plus more to taste
- 1/8 teaspoon sesame oil
Instructions
- Heat a wok or nonstick pan over medium-high heat. Add canola oil and swirl to coat the surface.
- Add julienned ginger and minced garlic. Stir-fry 30 seconds until fragrant.
- Immediately add watercress. Stir continuously for 20-30 seconds until the greens begin to wilt.
- Add white pepper, sugar, and salt. Drizzle sesame oil over the greens and stir-fry for an additional 20 seconds to ensure even coating. Adjust salt as needed.
- Transfer the stir-fried watercress immediately to a serving dish to keep its bright color and crisp texture. Avoid overcooking to maintain a fresh and crunchy bite.
