Panda Express Super Greens
Print Recipe

A vibrant, nutrient-packed stir-fry of kale, broccoli, and cabbage with a savory garlic-ginger sauce. Lighter than traditional Chinese takeout sides but just as flavorful!

Ingredients

Scale
  • Greens:
  • 4 cups kale, stems removed and chopped
  • 2 cups broccoli florets
  • 2 cups shredded green cabbage
  • 1 cup shredded red cabbage
  • Aromatics:
  • 3 garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp fresh ginger, grated
  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil (or sesame oil)
  • Sauce:
  • 2 tbsp water
  • 1 tbsp oyster sauce (or vegetarian oyster sauce)
  • 1 tbsp soy sauce (or tamari for GF)
  • 1 tsp rice vinegar
  • 1/2 tsp sugar
  • 1/4 tsp white pepper
  • Optional Garnish:
  • 1 tsp sesame seeds
  • Red pepper flakes

Instructions

  1. Prep greens: Wash and thoroughly dry all greens. Chop kale into bite-sized pieces, keeping broccoli florets small.
  2. Make sauce: Whisk water, oyster sauce, soy sauce, rice vinegar, sugar, and white pepper.
  3. Stir-fry aromatics: Heat oil in wok/large skillet over high heat. Add garlic and ginger, stir 30 sec until fragrant.
  4. Cook greens: Add broccoli first, stir-fry 2 mins. Then add kale and cabbage, tossing constantly.
  5. Add sauce: Pour sauce over greens. Cover and steam 1-2 mins until kale wilts but stays bright green.
  6. Serve: Garnish with sesame seeds. For extra crispness, finish with a splash of rice vinegar.

Notes

  • Restaurant secret: Blanch broccoli 1 min first for brighter color
  • Vegetarian: Use mushroom oyster sauce
  • Low-sodium: Substitute coconut aminos for soy sauce
  • Meal prep: Stores refrigerated 3 days (reheat quickly to avoid mushiness)
  • Extra protein: Add tofu or shrimp
