Ingredients

  • 4 tbsp coconut oil
  • 4 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 2 eschallots, finely chopped
  • 2 long red chillies, thinly sliced, divided
  • 3 cm x 2 cm piece ginger, peeled, thinly sliced into matchsticks
  • 6 spring onions, thinly sliced, divided
  • salt
  • 1 bunch small kale, ribs and stems removed; leaves torn
  • ½ bunch small silverbeet leaves, ribs and stems removed, leaves sliced 2 cm thick
  • ½ cup coconut milk
  • lime wedges, to serve
  • 300 g plain tempeh, sliced into thin strips
  • soy sauce, to drizzle
  • steamed rice, to serve

Instructions

  1. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large frying pan over medium heat. Cook the garlic, stirring for 1-2 minutes, or until golden.
  2. Add the eschallots, half the chilli, ginger, and half the spring onions. Season with salt; cook, stirring often for 5 minutes, or until softened.
  3. Add the kale and silverbeet a handful at a time, letting them wilt slightly before adding more. Cook, tossing occasionally for 6–8 minutes, or until the greens are crisp-tender. Add half the coconut milk and toss to coat.
  4. Transfer greens to a serving bowl and top with remaining coconut milk, chilli and spring onion. Serve with lime wedges.
  5. Meanwhile, heat the remaining coconut oil in a second large frying pan. Add the sliced tempeh and cook for 2 to 3 minutes per side, or until dark brown and crisp. Cook in batches if required. Drizzle the tempeh with soy sauce.
  6. Serve the tempeh with the chilli and garlic wilted greens, extra coconut milk and steamed rice.
