This simple stir-fry side is made of wonderfully complementary vegetables and takes only 25 minutes to prepare. Boy choy, with its tender leaf tips that wilt so beautifully and the slightly sweet and crunch stalks that hold up to the heat of stir-frying pair well against the sturdy leaves of kale, rich with vitamins and calcium. Curly kale most common but Lacinato is an excellent options. Add a spicy presence with turnip or mustard greens in place of your kale. Napa cabbage can be substituted if bok choy is scarce. A little sriracha hot sauce will bump up the heat on these greens nicely. Pair with rice noodles and some cubed pork tenderloin for an easy flavorful dinner or serve with a simple grain like quinoa and a few tablespoons of grated fresh carrots for a vegetarian option.
