Ingredients :

1 lb (500g) Asian greens, such as bok choy, choy sum or Chinese cabbage

2 tbsp vegetable oil

1 red bell pepper (capsicum), seeded and sliced into strips

1 small red chili pepper, seeded and sliced

10 scallions (shallots / spring onions), trimmed and sliced

2 celery stalks, sliced

2 cloves garlic, crushed

1 inch (2.5 cm) piece fresh ginger, peeled and chopped

6 oz (180g) shiitake mushrooms, sliced

3 tbsp soy sauce

cooked egg noodles or jasmine rice, for serving

Wash Asian greens well and pat dry with paper towels. Trim off root ends and slice greens into 2.5 inch (6cm) lengths. Warm oil in a wok or large frying pan over medium heat, until oil is hot but not smoking. Add bell pepper, chili pepper, scallions, celery, lemongrass, garlic and ginger. Raise heat to medium-high and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Add greens and mushrooms and stir-fry for 2 minutes. Reduce heat to low, cover and allow mixture to cook slowly until greens are tender-crisp, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in soy sauce.

Serve immediately with egg noodles or jasmine rice.
