Sauteed Amaranth Greens

Recipe by Chef Amanda Vong of Auntie Manna's

Stir-fried greens is an easy addition to any weeknight meal. Growing up, most dinners we had always included the combination of rice, soup, vegetables, and a protein. Amaranth greens grow very fast and are abundant in size and quantity. They have a spinach-like quality and cook quickly once heat is applied. This stir-fry recipe can be applied to any leafy vegetable you have on hand, in your fridge!

Ingredients:

  • 4 cups Amaranth Greens with or without stems

  • ½ tbsp Cooking Oil

  • 1 tbsp Garlic, minced

  • ½ tbsp Fish Sauce

  • Fried Shallots (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Heat your pan up with cooking oil.

  2. Once hot enough, place the amaranth greens into the pan and cover to steam the greens for about 1-2 minutes.

  3. Uncover and add minced garlic and continue to cook until the leaves are wilted.

  4. Cut the heat and add a splash of fish sauce.

  5. I love to serve sauteed vegetables with fried garlic or shallots on top!

  6. Serve along with rice, soup, and a protein.
