Ingredients
- 1 bunch (14 oz) Swiss Chard
- 3 tbsp oil
- 1 1/2 tbsp Sichuan chili bean paste (doubanjiang)
- 2 tsp minced garlic
- 2 tsp minced ginger
- 1 1/2 tbsp fermented black beans (douchi) rinsed
- 1/2 cup chicken stock (low sodium)
- 2 tbsp green onion
- 3 tbsp chopped celery optional
- 2 tbsp chopped cilantro optional
Instructions
- Snap each stem toward the end, which will allow you to peel away the stringy bits (as you would with celery). Discard the fibrous, stringy layer.
- Slice Swiss chard, about 1 inch long for the stem part and 2 inches for the leafy leaves. Bring a pot of water to boil. Sprinkle some salt. Add the Swiss chard stem pieces and cook for 3 minutes, then add the leafy parts and cook for 1 minute. Drain under cold running water. Gently squeeze the water out from the chard.
- Heat oil in a wok or skillet over medium flame. Add doubanjiang and stir-fry until it smells delicious and the oil is a rich red. Mix in the garlic, ginger, and fermented black beans and stir-fry for a few moments more until you can smell their fragrances.
- Pour the chicken stock and bring to a boil. Add the chard and stir-fry until the sauce and greens are well mixed and heat through.
- Sprinkle with green onion and serve immediately with rice. (If using celery and cilantro, add them with green onion.) Serve Swiss chard immediately with rice. It makes a great side dish for any Asian main course.
