  • 5 cups dandelion greens washed and chopped
  • 1 small onion thinly sliced
  • 2 cloves garlic minced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce low sodium preferred
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil for cooking
Seasonings
  • 1 2 teaspoon sea salt adjust carefully
  • 1 4 teaspoon black pepper freshly ground
  • 1 4 teaspoon red pepper flakes optional heat

Equipment

  • Large Skillet
  • Knife
  • Wooden Spoon
  • Freezer
  • Measuring Spoons

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil in a large skillet until shimmering but not smoking excessively.
  2. Cook onion and garlic briefly until softened and fragrant with light golden edges forming.
  3. Add dandelion greens and stir constantly until wilted yet still slightly vibrant and crisp.
  4. Pour soy sauce evenly across the skillet and toss everything thoroughly for balanced flavor.
  5. Season with sea salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes before serving warm immediately.

Notes

Cook greens briefly for crisp texture or longer for softer silky bites. Freeze cooled portions in airtight containers for future meals. Handle delicate greens gently during washing to prevent bruising. Customize flavors with mushrooms, chicken, sesame oil, or toasted nuts. Store refrigerated for three days and reheat lightly before serving.
