Sauteed Radishes with Mint

Stir-Fried Greens with Cremini Mushrooms and Soba

I’ve made this dish successfully with all kinds of greens, but I like tender baby spinach and bok choy derivatives the best.

Note: If choosing tough-stemmed greens like chard or beet greens, slice the stems into 1-inch lengths.
