Directions
Lightly heat some oil in a large pan over medium-high heat. Toss in the garlic and cook it just until it smells amazing, about a minute. Then add the collard greens, stirring them around so they get a nice coating of oil. Pour in the broth and soy sauce, give everything a good mix, and cover the pan. Turn the heat down a bit and let the greens steam, stirring every few minutes, until they’re tender—this usually takes about 7 to 8 minutes. When they’re done, take the pan off the heat and finish things off with a drizzle of sesame oil. Give it a quick stir and it’s ready to enjoy!
Simple Serving Suggestions
Serve alongside steamed rice or noodles to soak up the delicious sauce. It also pairs well with grilled meats or tofu for a complete and balanced meal. Garnish with toasted sesame seeds or chopped scallions for extra crunch and color.
Leftover Care Tips
Store leftovers in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently in a skillet or microwave to avoid overcooking and keep the greens tender and flavorful.
