Collard Greens with Krill, Mushrooms, Carrots

I love it when Whole Foods Market have their organic winter greens (kale, collard greens) on sale. Normally, a bunch will be $1.99; but during a sale event, it's 2 bunches for $3 (one for $1.50).

Spot the shrimps!

Having done kale and collard green stir-fries with garlic previously (and know it works well), this stir-fry is a more glorified version with mushrooms and carrots.



Collard Greens with Krill, Mushrooms and Carrots
In a pan of hot oil, saute 1tsp dried shrimps (or dried krill, as labeled in the Japanese grocery store; Note: Omit the krill if vegetarian), 1 tbsp finely diced onions, 1/2 carrot thinly sliced, then add 1tsp thinly sliced garlic, followed by 5-6 white mushrooms cleaned and sliced. Fry briskly till the mushrooms softened (about 5 mins) then add 6-8 collard greens (easily substituted with kale) thinly sliced - stems first, the leaves, fry briskly then cover the pan and allow low-medium heat steam to cook the veggies, about 8 mins. Add 1tbsp water if mixture is too dry and dash of cooking wine towards end of cooking for aroma. Sea salt and ground white pepper to taste.
