  • Total Time: 15 minutes
  • Yield: 4 servings 1x

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 pound Fresh morning glory
  • 4 cloves Garlic cloves, minced finely
  • 1 tablespoon Fresh ginger, minced or julienned
  • 2 tablespoons Vegetable oil
  • 1.5 tablespoons Soy sauce
  • 0.5 teaspoon Sesame oil
  • 1/4 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
  • 2 stalks Fresh scallions
  • 0.25 teaspoon Red chili flakes
  • To taste Salt and black pepper

Instructions

  1. Rinse the morning glory thoroughly under cold running water to remove any soil or debris from the tender stems and leaves.
  2. Trim the bottom 1 inch from the morning glory stems and discard any yellowed or damaged leaves.
  3. Cut the morning glory into 2-inch lengths, keeping stems and leaves slightly separated for even cooking in your morning glory vegetable recipe.
  4. Mince four garlic cloves into fine pieces, ensuring consistent size for even cooking throughout this morning glory vegetable recipe.
  5. Mince one tablespoon of fresh ginger or julienne it into thin matchsticks for this morning glory vegetable recipe.
  6. Chop two scallion stalks, separating white and light green parts from dark green tops for layered flavor in this morning glory vegetable recipe.
  7. Measure out soy sauce, sesame oil, broth, and chili flakes into small bowls for easy access during cooking.
  8. Heat two tablespoons of vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet over high heat until the oil shimmers and barely starts smoking.
  9. Add the minced garlic and ginger to the hot oil, stirring constantly for thirty seconds until fragrant and golden brown.
  10. Add the white and light green scallion parts, stirring for fifteen seconds to build layers of aromatic flavor in this morning glory vegetable recipe.
  11. Add the cut morning glory pieces to the wok, tossing continuously for one to two minutes until the leaves begin wilting.
  12. Pour the quarter cup of broth and one and a half tablespoons of soy sauce over the morning glory, continuing to toss constantly.
  13. Cook for another two to three minutes, tossing frequently until the morning glory stems become tender-crisp and leaves turn dark green and silky.
  14. Add a quarter teaspoon of red chili flakes if using, tossing to distribute evenly throughout this morning glory vegetable recipe.
  15. Taste the morning glory vegetable recipe and adjust seasoning with salt and black pepper as needed.
  16. Remove the wok from heat and drizzle half a teaspoon of sesame oil over the morning glory vegetable recipe, tossing gently one final time.
  17. Transfer the finished morning glory vegetable recipe to a serving dish and garnish with reserved dark green scallion tops.

Notes

Heat your wok or skillet to smoking temperature before adding oil to ensure the greens develop proper color and flavor. Keep all ingredients prepped and organized in small bowls (mise en place) before starting to cook. Use fresh garlic and ginger rather than pre-minced versions. Constant tossing prevents scorching and ensures even texture throughout.
