October 2nd was National Kale Day! Easy and Delicious Kale Stir Fry recipe

Hey everyone! It's been a LONG while since I've last updated my blog. I was involved with a summer job, work, and now applying for grad school. However, I just bought 5 huge bunches of kale during Whole Foods' 5 bunches of kale for $5 sale and decided that some delicious kale recipes are in order! Today's recipe is a simple, easy, quick kale and vegetable recipe with an asian twist. You can replace any of the vegetable ingredients with other vegis, so this dish is very versatile.

A healthy and delicious fall vegetable medley


Ingredients:
-3 cups torn kale
-1.5 cups broccoli, diced
-1 cup carrots, diced
-2 cups spinach
-1 onion, diced
-1 cup shitake mushrooms, sliced into thin strips
-1.5 teaspon ginger, minced
-1 tablespoon oil (I used grapeseed, but you can use any kind of oil, like sesame or olive oil)
-2 cloves garlic, minced
-1 tablespoon soy sauce

Method:
1. Chop up the garlic, onion, broccoli and carrots.

2. Heat a fairly large pan to medium high heat, add oil and stir fry the vegis for around 5 minutes.  Meanwhile chop up mushrooms, ginger, and tear up the kale and spinach and add to the pan.

3. Stir-fry the mix for another 4 minutes. Add soy sauce and cook for one more minute.
