Directions
In a wok or a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat until hot.
Add the garlic, ginger and scallions, stirring constantly, and cook for about 40 seconds to 1 minute until very fragrant.
Add the beet greens stems first, stirring often, and cook for about 3 minutes until the stems start to become tender.
Stir in the leaves, and cook until the leaves are wilted and stems are tender, about 4 minutes.
Add the seasoning ingredients, stirring well, and cook for another 1 minute or so to allow the flavor to blend together.
Season with more seasoning ingredients to taste if needed.
Transfer onto the serving plate, sprinkle with sesame seeds and scallion slices.
Serve warm as a side dish, or with rice, bread as a main dish.
Yum, made this and mixed in some steamed pork dumplings. Delicious. I had to swap chilli bean paste for Sriracha because I was out but otherwise followed recipe exactly.
