flash-fried leaves

Not so much a recipe as a method statement for quickly cooking all sorts of leaves as a side, with occasional updates.

Radicchio
Quarter a head including the stem and stir fry in a little olive oil until wilted. Dress sparingly with a vinaigrette of mustard, honey, apple vinegar and olive oil. Crispy bacon crumbled on top is good.

Cabbage (also chinese greens)
Slice cabbage in strips. Put some peanut oil in a wok, add finely chopped garlic and ginger (2 to 1 ratio) and fry briefly. Add cabbage, stir-fry briefly, add japanese soy sauce to taste. When cabbage just done, add enough sesame oil to give it all a glossy appearance, and serve.
